Build a V8 240sx in 24 hours

Hello Mazdas247! I'm Davidss.

Update- The car is finished, we did the track day, and now Im working on the video. The track day was tough The car had a few mechanical problems and at one point the car was even on fire! But nothing was bad enough that we couldnt compete. The competition consisted of a time attack on a 1+ mile course and a drag race and while I dont want to spoil the ending before the video I can say that neither race went ANYTHING like I expected.

I should have a teaser video up in a few days. Until then I here are a few pics of the car:

Ok the teaser video is done!

Right now the video is hosted on veoh which I'm using because they let you download the original high-res version (with registration). Keeping the quality high is really important to me especially for the main video (which will be coming soon). I haven't don't anything like this before so let me know if there are any playback problems. And any feedback for the main video would be appreciated...
 
lol great video...

I love where Day 2 begins, the dude claps his hands to start and everyone heads under the car only to realize that they should be elsewhere LMAO
 
Now this car shoulda been the new KITT for Knight Rider!!

That's me! That day we had to re-pull the engine/tranny for the (failed) cam install. They got the tranny out in under 4 minutes and they weren't even really hurrying!
 
Ok after too long of a wait the main video it done. If you missed it here is the teaser video: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v63594032jJtGwT2 The main video is almost an hour long and 265mb in its current format. If you want to watch the whole thing there are two options at this point:

1. Download in three parts from media fire. You can download all parts simultaneously and there is no registration required:

2. You can go to Veoh and watch the first five minutes here: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6564778t73qSfYm To download straight from Veoh click on Download Options located on the right side of the page about halfway down then right click, save as Original video OR you can download Veohs TV software and stream the whole video.

If there is any interest in a higher rez I can make it available. Im really sorry for the delay in getting this out, producing an hour long feature was a lot more difficult than I expected. Let me know what you think of the video and if it plays OK. All in all there are a million things I wish I could redo/reshoot but there wasnt enough time and we didnt have any video experience. If I get a good response then Id like to do another film again in the future.

Feel free to repost this anywhere
