In this Larry Chen video, we dive into the world of custom car building with a jaw-dropping Datsun roadster crafted for Battle of the Builders. This SEMA debutant features a bespoke chassis, push rod suspension, and a powerhouse SR20 D bottom end with a P11 top end. The builder's fusion of hot rod flair with cutting-edge tech like CAD and CNC machining sets this roadster apart from the pack. From the titanium flame-bent header to the 2.5-inch titanium exhaust, every detail screams craftsmanship and innovation.
The interior of this roadster is a sight to behold, with hand-shaped seats, a custom dash inspired by vintage models, and a nostalgic hot rod shift knob. The blend of American hot rod elements with Japanese influences, such as Moon Eyes touches and QA1 coilovers, adds a unique twist to this build. The meticulous metal shaping of the rear fender flares, the wood-rimmed steering wheel, and the custom boot showcase the builder's attention to detail and dedication to creating a one-of-a-kind vehicle.
As we delve deeper into the roadster, we discover the builder's ingenious modifications, from the CNC-machined throttle linkage to the front-end redesign and original car components seamlessly integrated into the build. Plans for the future include potential additions like a roll cage and top for camping trips, highlighting the versatility and practicality of this custom creation. The roadster's front-end design, Marcel lights, and stainless steel trim stand as testaments to the builder's skill and artistry, making this Datsun roadster a true automotive masterpiece.
