    Very cool and nice progress on the datsun! Do you run the shop full time and do work for others, or is it just a hobby shop? I'm super jealous of the room you have and I dig all the projects you have and build. Is the trailer going to be a camper type, or something just to haul stuff around in?

    Thanks so much! It is my detached (by 10 miles) garage and is not a business...I got my priorities straight..I live in a really small one bedroom! The trailer is for a tiny house.

    Just for fun. I dug up this old footage of an early project. It is a Honda Minitrail 50 with the engine from a Honda Elsinore 125 motocross bike (22hp 6 speed). The video quality is terrible but the audio is awesome!

    I love watching the Police car at the intersection as you were starting out. That would be my luck on a test drive
    Car/motorcycle engine sounds great! Is the shifter basically toe up foot down?

    Yes, isn't that always the way! It is usually raining for the maiden voyage also...got lucky this time. The shifter is located between the drivers seat and the door on the right. Normal motorcycle pattern, but it is 1 forward and 5 back.

    It looks like a blast to drive! I would also there say you could probably break any law you want with that car because no one could describe what you're driving LOL

    That's awesome! Nice work! I bet you will get a lot of lookers. Everyone will be looking for a sport bike but can't see one anywhere.
