17: Failure?

In this episode of the datsun 510 build things are starting to take shape.  Much to go but, I'm into the assemble phase and uncovering some new paths to take this retromod track tool!  Enjoy the Drive Dante @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine [email protected]

Hello Hello!  In this episode I sit back, crack a bottle of whiskey and break down the latest developments of the business.  We will walk through some real time JDM auctions, and as always, ask questions.   Enjoy the Drive Dante @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine [email protected]

The steady climb of JDM car value and will they plateau any time soon?  I'll go in to some detail and thoughts regarding the influence of car prices and some sources that contribute.  Detailing side of the business has surpassed expectations for year 1 at the brick and mortar and on the search for a new car to import.

Alright, here we go!  As if there wasn't enough on the plate of this solo business owner, family man, enthusiast, loon.... I'm starting a major build.  This is a car that has occupied my daydreams for multiple decades and now, inexplicably, I have one.  This is not going to be a series of me bolting on parts and reporting back.  This is a series of me exercising some old skills and mostly, learning as I go.  Expect triumphs, that are over celebrated, fails, that are completely transparent, and hopefully an insightful listen.   This will be a 10 part series covering the car in its current state (totally naked chassis and some boxes of parts most of which, won't be used) to completion.  This goal is to make this my rolling business car with a track duty focus.  Datsun...SR20...Racebits...lets go!   [email protected] @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine -enjoy the drive- 

And Yes, I've changed up the intro due to feedback Have some big news, maybe not the brightest but, it's a decision none the less.  Should add to the content moving forward.  Also, we get a little personal of a major...terrible event that recently happened in my life.   As always, questions, concerns, comments: [email protected] @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine

What's up all?  I'm venting/sharing about my time management struggles.  It's real.  Update on the business, importing and detailing, as well as talking a walk through the less common JDM market.  Hope you enjoy!  As always, Enjoy the Drive!

Oh Yeah....win!  I was getting hammered with bad news but, persistence prevails.  Business update, struggles, and status.  Then take a stroll with me through the current JDM market on popular Honda and Nissan models.

yooo.  getting back to a normal schedule so, stay tuned.  In this episode I discuss the new space, hoops jumped through while bringing a car to Texas, and what my next car might be.   As always thanks for the the listen!   questions, concern, hate, love: [email protected] @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine

This is turning into a bad habit....Too long in between podcasts!  So, a ton has happened since the last episode and I will be back on track.  If you've been following me, this is a big one. JDM talk of course, on the back half I get into one of my favs...the Toyota Soarer.   As always reach out to me @elusiveautoco @elusiveautoshine [email protected] Enjoy the Drive!

In episode 17 I uncover some realizations about starting this business....completely transparent realizations. And no, I'm not stopping. If anything stronger but, for anyone interested in the game, or in the game, this will be a good listen. Time to keep pushing! As always I enjoy your feedback!
