That is badass!
That I can thumbs-up that post but just once will haunt me in my dreams for eternity. Bless the beautiful crazy that inhabits this glorious place. Let us exault his name, he who wields both welder, and insanity, in equal measure, and doles out his just righteousness in the form of wrought steel and octane.
In reply to jstancel:
Seems like you can channel a lot of the parts to get the proportions correct. For sure, that front fender to raise the bottom up.
On the cab, you could almost do the channel right off the bottom.
Something to play with on a picture edit program....

It is my friend's truck. It is basically an S13 240sx. It has 240 front and rear subframes, an SR20, and a full cage. He has it for sale if you know anyone that is interested.

As a child I thought the only fast cars had part of the engine sticking out of the hood. That logic makes me agree that no hood is better.
And now we have a name for the project. I don't know why, but these body swap builds fascinate me and make me want to take a tape measure to every car I see.
I really like where this is going. One question tho. That seems like some very heavy body parts going on to the chassis that normally carries some very light weight body parts. Are you beefing up the suspension any?

It has coilovers with stiffer spring rates. I don't think it will be too terribly heavy but for sure heavier than stock.
I would need a boom on the back to be Miater. I think that's a great idea...
But really, even if you don't go that route, keep it up! This is going to look great when you're done.
