280z1975

I once fought a bull$hit ticket (a noise violation) where we were cited for waking up a neighbor laughing duing a slide show my friend put together for another friends birthday party. We went to court and had the $160USD ticket reduced to $100 bucks (a small victory),but for required to pay $80 in court costs! Stupid court system. But I would fight it and bring in some proof that you were working on the car. A signed affidavit or your father in court would be best. Then prove that the cop wrote you a ticket for no other reason that to "get you" because he thought you were someone else whom he couldn't ticket earlier.

I have used Por-20 (a por-15 product) thier high temperature paint and I liked the look of it. They have three different colors. I would suggest you have it sprayed on after removing all the rust methodicly as per thier other two products (Marine Clean and Metal Ready). If money isn't to much of a worry I would powder coat it. The look is great, color choices are a plenty and it's a tough long lasting coating.

This link was suggested over on classiczcars.com http://www.powerbear.com/october2k2.htm It's close to what I want to do. I think I am just going to find a modern car with the side marker style I like and mod my fenders to fit. It will take some work but will look good on the car. I saw some nice flush ones on a Corvette today! -Gregg-

If anyone knows of a post that has covered the idea of running the side markers on an early Z car ('75 is my year) let me know. If not, anyone have any ideas or suggestions of where to start? I really like the curves of my 280z but really feel like the turn signals take away from it's appeal (and a fraction of aerodynamic drag ). My idea so far is to use the existing hole and fill in the screw holes and use some sort of back mounted system with a custom done rubber outter seal. Anyways, any ideas would be greaty welcomed. -Gregg-
