Anyone ever seen a source to buy these new?

Holy cow, I've never seen a two door Honey Bee! Is that the facotory colour? It looks very...bright.

Really? That's all I've ever seen.

Yes, it is. Almost all of the B210 colors are very "bright". B310s were quite subdued by comparison.

Maybe the ones I've see are all faded to hell. :lol:

Is that your yellow B210 in your avatar, DF?

I know these guys make repros of American muscle car graphics... they could prolly do your B210 Honey Bee graphics, if you provide them with a few pics... and the measurements of an actual B210.

Afterall, they do the Dodge Super Bee, so the Honey Bee can't be too much of a stretch. lol

Not yet.

Mine is sort of "turquoise", and its waiting patiently on some boxes to arrive from Japan.

I'll post up a build thread when my parts get here. :tu:

Suffice it to say, it's a dead ringer for blownB310's car:

I was hoping to avoid that...

Already went through that battle once to get these reproduced...

Heck, I have entertained the notion of just getting the Super Bee decals and making that work... :mrgreen:

I like those side decals on your 510... I'm thinking of going with those when I repaint my 200sx... maybe paint the car, black or dark blue, with the white Datsun side graphics like yours(to give it the nostalgia look), to go with my Nissan White w/polished lip SSR fins.

Give me a shout when you're ready. I can put you in touch with the guy who made mine. He can crank them out in any color. :tu:

Thanks, Jon... I appreciate that. I know my car was a full fledged Nissan in 87, but I like the nostalgia... that the S12 chassis(along with the 84 300zx and 1st gen Maxima) was one of the last TRUE Rwd Datsuns, sold in the states.

Usually, most guys put the JDM emblems and JDM version model's name on their cars... but I wanted to go with the 1984 Nissan-Datsun 200sx decals on my car, plus the lower Datsun decals(like your car) on my S12 after I get it painted. I was also thinking of putting the JDM Silvia symbol on the nose, and a Silvia emblem on the rear... but I don't think they had a Datsun Silvia, did they?

My sky blue S12 coupe had these stripes in navy blue on it.

Only for about 20 years. :mrgreen:

Although I can't guarantee any were badged "Datsun" in any markets, but since they date back to the late 60s, they were certainly built in the "Datsun" era. :tu:

No way!! That musta looked COOL. Can you please post pics of your old S12 with the Datsun stripes? That way I can get an idea of what my car can look like? :shock:

I wish I could, but I don't have any. :cry:

I bought a printer/cutter recently, so I can potentially reproduce any decals if someone can design them.

This is my B2slow Honey Bee. I have been working on repro decals, still interested?
