The Nissan 350Z was always a car Chris Brittingham wanted. He bought a 2004 Nissan 350Z in 2012, owned it for 2 years then wanted to start modifying, but he wasn't particularly fond of the automatic transmission. "So I traded it in for a manual one to get a good base," mentions Brittingham. He's always been a builder and creator from a young age, and cars are a great way to express it. "I've owned my Z for over 4 years now and have been slowly adding and making parts for it," he states.
Coming from a CNC career, Brittingham tries to make whatever he can. "I try to make it my own, as well as to save money." The whole theme behind what Brittingham's doing is building as much with his own hands as he possibly can. "I may be a little different than most," starts Brittingham, "because I really don't have much inspiration or major help with the build." He enjoys watching Chris from BisforBuild, "I guess you can call that inspiration." His friends help out here and there but he puts in the most of the work on his build. "That's how it's supposed to be," states Brittingham.
