I don't own a Nissan, but I sure have used your site and I want to share what I learned with you. I was building a 1964 Ford Falcon and when I got ready to paint the car, it was too cold, so I decided to work on the trunk area. I searched different sites for ideas and came across a post by "Broadfield" here. I am 64 years old, but 18 at heart. I haven't done fiberglass before but figured I would try with the fantastic post he gives with the great directions. My Falcon has done great at local car shows and at Hot August Nights in Reno. It has won awards for Best Ford and Best 1960's car. The trunk gets more attention than any car I have ever seen. Thanks for all your help, Especially to Broadfield. If I can do it, anyone can.

Nice to see "just an engine in an engine bay." So clean and I love the steering wheel.

Very nice, I'm happy I could help/inspire you to do this! It looks as though it turned out pretty nice. Let me know if you ever have any questions on custom fabrication in the future.
