Hey guys,

I've been lurking on these forums for quite awhile and I've recently decided to document the entire build of my 240z Restomod Project on youtube. Its a massive project and a half, and I'm determined to do it right.

If you're keen on seeing more, please let me know what your thoughts are (good and bad) and I'll see you all in the next video.

I happened upon the wheel well episode last night. The wheels wells are actually prone to rust depending on what part of the country you're in. The front and rear ends of the well, where they meet with the other metal bits tends to rust, the front side usually gets it worse than the rear. Rot int he rocker just works it's way through all the metal in the area, I've seen a lof of them suffer this issue.
