zackorettos hot rod heaven.

Okay, so heres my bit. Got introduced to 1940's sleds & chopping roofs/channeling and making some of the most gorgeous cars my father could think of at the tender age of 6. Cool dude, the recreation of Ed Roth & Von Dutch combined in one. Deadbeat though today, but gotta say Im happy for the love of the automotive scene I had passed from him.
Moving on, got my first car to tinker with at 15. 1987 Nissan Pulsar with a CA16DE rustless, , then moved up to the 1989 240sx Coupe at 16. After that sold both and bought a 1971 Dodge Dart at 17 and daily drove her till this last March, sad to say shes gone now. But now in retrieval of my new hatch!

Heres a few photos of my s13 and the old Dart, got MAJOR plans for the 240 from november till may next year, including a Rb20 swap & sileighty conversion.

Heres the 240 when i first grabbed her.


and here she is as today! Much more to go.




Heres my old pride, 17 years old driving to highschool everyday. This was not my fathers car, no one helped me pay a cent for my vehicles. I always had a vision of making it look like a dirty junkyard rod. This car cost me $12,000 in the end through those 4 years in repairs and parts. Sold in March for $3500 :( Forever missed.




Thanks for looking guys!

sweet pics & nice story budd

thanks chris! you allready know how giddy i get over your skyline...and that god damn dream wheel fitment ughhhh<3

haha thanks budd

that tunnel pic is sick , where was that

Its in guelph off some little side cut road, I can get the location cause its a perfect spot for taking time to get shots not a lot of traffic in that area. We set up the tripod in the bed of a pickup and he just shot while we cruised through!

thats sick , we need a shoot there

Tunnel shot is = win

Sweet shit mayne! I got mad love for the 240's

Sweet ride, love that tunnel pic!!

hamilton because of the escarpment has a great couple very curvy 'touge' routes, very cool for shots! but other then driving through dont EVER go to hamilton. you become either a meth head or a prostitute, and i do not want such things happening to you gents.

hahaha....ridge rd is fun to drive out there in hamilton lot of turns just if u dont know the road u cant be a superhero or ull end up offroading.

Hahahaha fackno superhero'n it those hills can be dicey if your car isn't grippy enough!

Thanks guys! Got a ways to go until im content with this build, that rb20 might have to happen sooner as my valve guides may be pooched:(

nice car and nice story! can't wait to see it in person!

Thanks G! Its definitely taken a down turn in the past 2 weeks though, was perfect runnings but valves/headgasket may be gone, exhaust has 2 leaks and my tie rod definitely needs to be changed.:(

All work no wrenching make zack a angry boy.
