Datsun Roadster SEMA Build, progress and plans!

In this video, I share the progress and future plans for my Datsun roadster I am building for sema, battle of the builders, young guns. Everything from the one off fame, built from scratch. One off suspension, push rod and billet cantilevers, as well as billet intakes and plans for the engine package. Follow along for more progress on instagram @connor.butter and on TH-cam! Thanks for watching!

Would love to see you buld a dry sump for the SR! Just cause, and it would allow it to sit a little lower. Can't wait for more updates!

[@ConnorButter]

No dry sump in this set up! I made room for the oil pan in my frame design. The tank and lines would take up too much room in this tiny car. Dry sumps are baller though!

[@andrewcole2205]

@@ConnorButter Ah, fair points! I've been playing around with an integrated pump and dry sump pan for my L28.

[@ConnorPawlowski]

Very cool stuff 🎉

[@dtchild81]

[@ConnorButter]

Thank for following along! I’m really excited to show it!

[@johnbeckman8916]

WOW!
You've got an AWESOME start on this.
KEEP TRUSTING YOURSELF and let's see what happens. P.S. Get back to work! 😃

[@ConnorButter]

Always back to work!

[@EH-mh4it]

Super excited about this build! Thanks for sharing on TH-cam. Please please dont hold back on details and your thoughts and ideas behind what you are doing!

[@EH-mh4it]

Of course you have another sub too! I already cat wait for the next video. Any extra videos on you design and CAD process would be awesome (Like when you are doing the valve cover)

[@FROMMCMLXIX]

Amazing! I can't wait to see more progress!

[@ConnorButter]

Thanks for following along!

[@srtautoworkz]

Wow, great fab skills! Can't wait to see more

[@ConnorButter]

Thank you!

I'm really excited about this build!!! I can't wait to follow your progress. I'm interested in seeing what you do with the rear fenders. I'm also building a 2000 on TH-cam. My build will be much more tame, but you've inspired me to think about the future. I'll be running a Honda K20 motor, going for lots of NA power.

[@ConnorButter]

Awesome! I’ll go in to some detail on making the fenders! That’s going to be one of the first things when the body gets back! K20 na will be awesome! Guys make crazy power with those!

[@VintageandVoltage]

​@@ConnorButter it just occurred to me that I wasn't logged in with my TH-cam channel account, so you get TWO subs! Hahaha! Anyway, I'm stoked to see the fenders! I want to do something similar on mine... I think I'll need to fit as much rubber as I can in the back with the K20A2.

[@drmikemerkt]

Let’s go!!!

[@DrLeadFoot5572]

This is going to be amazing! Can't wait to hear what it sounds like! Awesome work!

[@mchristr]

Please don't chop the windshield too much but just enough for the proportions of the car. Keep the whole thing subtle and factory-looking. Subscribed.

[@BryansGarage]

That looks Awesome! Subscribed!

[@ConnorButter]

Thank you sir!

[@EndMotive]

Awesome work! Frame looks killer, NA Sr20 was my plan on the Datsun Roadster project I had...I ended up moving and had to sell it before I got it finished. I subbed, cant wait to see progress!

[@AW_DIY_garage]

Looks great so far!

[@MakeitModitBreakit]

Looking great 👍 will definitely be following your build!

[@AutoFrankYoutube]

Awesome!

[@michaelwilliams5673]

Is the frame tube steel or plates cut and welded

[@ConnorButter]

Plates cut and welded

[@EH-mh4it]

Any idea if the chassis is lighter than original?

[@ConnorButter]

I haven’t weighed the original, but this one is right at 250lbs bare chassis
