i'm thinking my Datsun is too Orange so to break it up i'm thinking of some 70's type racing stripes i'm thinking someting like a 3/4 black bonnet with pinstripe around the black and thick black stripes which extend over the boot to round the otherside, again with black pinstriping around it something along these lines and just for a chuckle so for the effort, the one i like best will get a small prize 1/43rd jaguar D type. the relavence is that i work on these types of car for a living competition ends this Friday 15/6/12 and my word on the winner is final. the winning entry may or may not end up on the Datsun though so don't be dissapointed. link to higher res Datsun picture if neededmany thanks in advance for taking part

Your car is beautiful. Orange is such a good shade on it as well.
I may give this a go if I can find the time

I've always wanted an orange car, I've also always wanted a datsun. everything is for sale at the right price ;)i think the stripe works really well as a very dark browish colour. . may have to rethink stripe colours. i may have to dig something else out of the cupboard and have a First , Second and third prizes. watch this space ;D

ok i'm upping the game a little another prize this is a modern piston i removed from the car in the picture on the piston. a 1958 Lister jaguar Knobbly as raced by Tiff Needle among others at the Revival and LeMans Classic in recent years. i removed it in 2008. i painted two the same with touch up paint used on the original car (BHL 105 if you want to google it). i gave one to a big Jaguar model collector in exchange for some very nice period pictures and the other is the one pictured above. this is a very unique prize and could be worth a small fortune or could be worth nothing, i just don't know. but something like this will not be available very often. i do have some other pistons from other cars that i'm keeping because they have more sentimental value. i will try to find another suitable prize and the way i'll run it is winner gets first choice, runner up gets second choice and third will get the last remaining prize.

My shoddy MS paint attempt. ;D The chrome Datsun badge would of course just be stuck on the black, but I cant do that much detail on what I have. Matt black of course.

Variations on a theme. This one is quite fussy, not sure I like it. And this one deserves mention of Retrolegends since it was inspired by his Datsun 100A. I think this is my favourite of the attempts made too because it's the cleanest and most neatly follows the lines of the car already there.
