  1. Any chance they are trunk handles? I found this page. item 30 and 35. http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29052 I think this link will work. Is this what I want?
  2. WOW, great, thanks. I'll go looking for them now. thanks alot.
  3. hey 250Z I can give you a list of reasons to use the Jag rear, but to be truthful it is just an exercise in engineering futility. Thought it might be cool to use complete Jag drivetrain. I did hung undecided till the chrome axles and swing arms came up on E-Bay. It has a 3.31 gear, posi, and disc brakes. Also has the 5 bolt chevy wheel pattern. But really, I just wanted to do it. The little things Speed ask about are the details that really set off your car. After looking at yours, I'll go with the door pulls like you have. I have the stock Z handles on mine right now. Have my body hung for fitting seams, wipers,and misc. Hope to get moving a lot fastter now. Where did you get your door pulls? She looking good post more pictures as you go. We all are looking for it.
  4. Thanks Speed. MY rear will be the same width as a Z, but my front offset is a little bigger than yours. May be trouble there. Bought all four wheels for $235. Were on a show car and don't have a mark on them. Have to get adp. yet, they're $65 each.
  5. Nice, real nice. I'd be proud of the job your doing on that GTO. What rear clip did you us? The front looks like a Vella Rossa, right? Oh by the way the gentleman that was on this post John Washington, has vr and is back in the game. Check his web site. I've lined up all my parts to start mine. Stable front Vella Rossa rear, but I'm doing a coupe. Jag v12 drive train, 6 webers, and the jag irs. Got the rear fenders cut open and welded,but I want to put a full frame under it. I'll start that this week.
  6. Hey I got my Dayton wire wheels today. I just wanted to ask Speed if he had it to do over again would you buy the same size tires? They look great in the pictures but in real life only Speed would see little things that he might change. I also got my Jag axles and swing arms. they were on E-Bay narrowed to the right size and chrome plated. What a steal at $200.00 . Time to start building a GTO.
  7. Hi, need to know how far it is hub to hub on the rear end of a Z. Don't have mine here and a set of Jag axles is coming down on ebay. I need the drum mounting surface from side to side on a 72 Thanks
  8. try a zinc spot weld primer most paint stores carry it.
  9. HI, I need info from a hollanders interchange man. I cann't work on my "GTO Datsun Jaguar " till I get my sons 93 Dodge stealth back on the road. He knocked the tranny out (too many nuatral starts I think) It came out in lots of little peices. Found lots of trannys, but nobody knows for sure if the electronic controls are the same. So can someone please tell me What years work with a 93 stealth auto DOHC Thank You,
  10. Hey Dan, This is the first I've been on since the switch. The topic invalid session got me thinkin' (that's bad) I have a cheap MSN that came with my cable hook up. Gave it a try and I'm on. AOL was my problem. AOL worked great till the forum switch, now it doesn't cut it. You by any chance on AOL?
  11. Hi there, Just wanted to ask you some questions about your GTO. How much ground clearance do you have to the floor? Did you lower it? what size tires are you using? I tried to find your old web site without luck. I plan to put full frame under mine. Thanks, Staledale
  12. On e-Bay two days ago was a 6.0 that was buy it now $950, It didn't last long. Now there is one at $850 n/r right now under engines complete. They come up at a good deal and good away as fast. My 500ci cad was bought for $235 and should be easier to put in. I'll freshen it up first, but I want to get the car on the road this summer.
  13. All Hell with it!! Just bought a Caddy 500ci off E-Bay. THANKS Grumpyvette.
  14. I'd love one! Shipping is the problem. Could it be made in peices for shipping. I think the original was 5 peices. I've got your Vella Rossa and I know the quality will be first class.
  15. Thanks guys. I checked out the LS1 forums that DRK brought up. Looks like the bell housing bolt pattern is the same as the SBC, so the trans will swap too! The 6.0 might be the way to go.
  16. Are the truck engines worth messing with? Tried a search Know one seemed to talk about them I've seen a few sold at a good price, and wondered if they'd be O.K. In a Z? They are based on the LS1 aren't they? Iron block, but what else is changed? Good street engine?

    V12Z

    Hey dot, welcome! I sent you an E-mail two days ago about some info on your swap. I've got my Jag v12 ready and waiting for my hybrid bastard. (72Z, 62 250 GTO, Jag drive train, and American Hotrodding) I'd love to get some tips from someone that's be there.
  18. Trevor, I'd say ALFA http://www.alfaclub.org/index.htm Check out the grills on some of them, they always had that little heart shape in the middle.
  19. Speaking of Chinese, have you got any good recipes for Chinese food? Now that I'm Mr. Mom I need to improve my cooking skills. Just can't get that taste right! Kids call my sauces "spuge" when it cools, you can pick it up in one peice like cured putty.
  20. Thanks a lot RacerX knew you'd come through.
  21. Does anyone have a picture of the rear end of that car? I love the sides, I've seen the front, but gotta see what rear end treatment he gave it. Who's car is it?
  22. Got a car that was stripped, but someone got carried away with a grinder. Have some low spots in the lead seams. Does it need to be treated with something, or can you put plastic filler right on the lead? Thanks guys.
  23. Hey Stony, Can you get that 5 peice G-nose overseas? What does it cost in USA dollars?
