Vintage

It's not really difficult, most people use MS Paint to make them, although some people use Photoshop. There are forums dedicated to them at http://www.pixelcars.com if you want to try it. I've been doing this kind of art for almost 3 years now I think. The squished ones like mine above are called Kuru Kuru, or KK for short, while there are also proportional, larger ones, referred to as scaleds.

Just thought I would share alittle bit of my artwork with you fellas, even though I dont post a whole lot (lurker). It's a form of artwork known as pixelcars. I did everybit of it, except the intercooler on the tuned one is by Twizm, another pixelcar artist. I didnt make a stock 240z, just a stock 280z, and converted it to a 240z when I tuned it. Just thought you guys might like to see them. Edit: Oh, and this is an older peice by me. I remade this stock Z32 from Sawb's (another artist) original, which was vastly outdated.

Motorsport sells louvered access lids like that, but if I recall correctly they seemed a tad expensive. Shouldnt be hard to find a shop that can just louver yours for a few bucks.

Thats pretty good for a '78, most of which crowd the 2700-2900 lb range, I'f I remember correctly.

On my '75, I didnt have to mess with the exhaust at all. Just dropped the tank a few inches, and removed the nuts holding them to the rear deck. The driver side one just dropped pretty much straight down, but I had to squeeze the passenger side one out beside the fuel neck filler hose.
