I want to add my wheel under this request page. I've got an early 260z with Tokico struts and AZ car springs (not coilovers) I'm going to put on ZG Flares and cut the fenders. Is 17 x 9 with a -13 offset good so the wheel will fill out the ZG flares? Also, whats the HUB mean on the website? I don't know what size to put there. Thanks, Joe

I got mine at Home Depot, Random Orbit Palm Sander for $50.

Awesome! Congratulations! I remember a couple years ago when Cal Poly: SLO accepted me when I was in HS back in MA. Hybridz college students represent!

He's in Florida. And the car is a numbers matching original car, so money-wise its better to keep the emissions on. The car hasn't even been resprayed! You can still see the bond lines in the fiberglass! If we had another, the same style that wasnt original we'd have a monster engine in it.

My 260z runs, but has a little excessive backfire. Its on the jackstands now since I am starting to tear down to do bodywork, and a custom interior. After that, professional tuning to drive around until I get enough money for a sbc350, 5 speed trans, and r200 lsd.

haha, no. Don't think Dad woulda liked me doing that. Also, doesn't really burnout that much. Its a 72 so emissions kicked the crap out of the engine compression, and its got low gears for good highway mileage.

Please post some pictures of the wheels on the car when you get a chance please. I've been thinking about getting that same wheel.

Hey guys, I was just browsing the craigslist and saw this. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/266819964.html It might be decent for a swap.

Just wanted to share some videos of my Dad's '72 Stringray. 454 Convertible w/ air.

Awww, it reminds me of The Cape when I used to tear down the back roads! I miss my East Coast. Oh, GO RED SOX! Found an old video of me and some others up in NH mountains cruising. Anyone like Spec V's? I loved mine, it was soo much fun to drive.

The new z06 is very nice, much nicer than the old. And the GT2 is pretty cool too..

Marino's not part of this argument...

How many rings does Manning have? How many does Brady have?

Yes, email Ross, he is very helpful in getting you just what you need.

those rails on ebay ARE Baddog's rails. Read the description Ya, I noticed...

Hey guys, I just ran across this ebay posting of 260,280 frame rails. I was going to buy some through bad bog parts, but this might save me some money if they fit. What is the difference between bad dogs 240 and 280 styles? I have an early 260. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-260z-280z-NEW-Frame-Rail-reinforcements_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33644QQhashZitem290073021922QQihZ019QQitemZ290073021922QQrdZ1

Hi rdsk8ter, Check out http://reactionresearch.com/pricelist.html for some cowl hoods and some other nice stuff. Also 280zone I think sells a nice looking cowl hood that has a front opening like the camaro. As for cowl area panels, check junkyards or http://www.zparts.com/home.html ///////// or http://www.datsunzparts.com/ ///// or I think theres a place that usually advertises on here in the classifieds that has a bunch of old Z's. -Joe

Thats what I was thinking about doing. Would having someone who has to shape the metal and weld it be cheaper than just buying a new panel and having them weld it?

Anyone ever replaced a whole rocker panel? Whats the going rate, or a decent price?

Yes it does. I want to lick it, Cuz it looks like sherbet.

Hey guys, I posted awhile ago about the top of my rockers panels and we found that I should be able to patch it up with new sheet metal because the rust is only around those holes on the rocker panel. Well I started taking the car apart and found a new pin hole where the rocker meets the front fender. Here are some pictures. What do you think is the best way to go? The car will get a V8 and be driven pretty hard once in a while for track days, but I am going to put on Bad Dog frame rail covers. Is it cheapest/best to patch both the top of the rocker and the front pinhole, or to replace the whole rocker panel. This will all be done by a shop. Thank you for any input. -Joe

That looks amazing! How big is that antenna?

I got 2 initial replies about the hood, but I've emailed them 3 more times about shipping and stuff but never got replied.

Thanks, it looks great! If its not too much trouble could you also do the ZG flares and hood green?
