Resto-mod Z: Chris Forsberg's Datsun 280Z - Speedhunters

There is a build style in the domestic world known as the ‘resto-mod’ where you take a classic car, like say a ’69 Camaro, and build it to look like a restoration but add in new or better parts like you would in a modified build. It combines the taste and attention to detail of a full restoration while still giving the car a unique character. Chris Forsberg’s 1975 Datsun 280Z is an excellent adaptation to that in the world of Japanese classics.

The car maintains the look and lines of the iconic Z but you can still tell it’s a street car that only Chris could dream up. Compared to his Formula Drift 370Z, it’s certainly not radically powered, but it’s still impressive all the same.

Awesome build. The fender flares are a requirement on these 280z builds or you can't fit anything besides a wagon wheel in there

Ya I get that no arguement there. But at least make it look right, at the very least fix the gaps. I've seen other flares that don't look like they were a pep boy special (thanks [MENTION=1053]Blownbyyou[/MENTION]) :rofl:
