1973 Baja 1000 BRE 240Z.  Is it me or does it just sound crazy to run a 240Z in the Baja 1000?

I was so close to recreating a BRE Datsun scheme either on the 240 or 510.  I've actually got a scheme using that layout but different colors.  Nice job on them all man.

I've done the John Morton #46 510 and 240Z as well.  They are good replicas to cut your teeth on, just because they are relatively simple.  The only tough part is getting the font for the numbers to match the original.

Now see, there ya go.  One of the main reasons I'll never be very good at this stuff.  I have a tendency like fonts and stuff to make do with whatever is closest.

Picked up a couple of your paints Tonka, the Rabbit and the 510 specifically.  Both look very good in my garage.  Excellent work.
Go sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
