I was wanting to see sort of an angled view of the front with the rear/side area. I think with the way you've flattened the rear (nice job btw), it should complement the front really well. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Nice job, I wish I had the skill to do something like this.

Would you be able to post some pictures showing a little more of the rear of the z? Your work looks top notch, I'm just curious how the lines will flow. Thanks

What about these? http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/autoloc/details.lasso?itemid=HL1

I'll pull mine out and take some measurements and pics for you if you want.

You could make them fairly easily. The ones in my '72 and just flat sheetmetal thats been cut to fit.

I just ordered a set of those for my 240z.

The 240z's never came as a convertible.

Hmm...didn't know that. You learn something every day on HBZ! lol

I like the turn signals. There's a lot of subtle things here and there, I think that's one of the things that make this car so nice.

I'm looking for an F54 flat-top shortblock. I'd consider a longblock but would prefer just the shortblock. Thanks

I like!

Thats good to hear. I'm planning on using it on my car... that is, until I change my mind again haha.

Lol at least you're getting to drive it again. Hows the blue "metalcast" stuff holding up?

I'm 18, I bought my first z ($400 of saved up $$$) when I was 14 as a project to have done by the time i got my license. I knew nothing at all about the z car, I'd never even heard of a datsun That car turned out to be more rust and bondo than car. I later (summer before junior year, 16 or so) found another '72 in Pinehurst for $1600 (more savings). It was awesome, bone stock but awesome lol. I drove it everyday junior year. The summer between junior and senior year I swapped the motor from the first car into the 2nd one because it was built up and I wanted some more power. Well, I got the "While I'm at it" bug and I've almost got it back on the road after a little over a year in hibernation. Looking back, I've gotten discouraged and thought about selling it a couple of times. But I always knew that if I did, I would regret it. I can't wait to get it back on the road. Even if it isn't anywhere near as nice or fast as most of the cars here, it's mine and I love it.

Oh yea, forgot to mention it earlier but I'm 18. 19 in July.

Any updates? I just re-read this entire thread lol. This was one of my favorite threads back it the day when it was active lol.

Why not? Its kinda interesting to see IMHO.

I laughed because its highly unlikely that he has that head. And very likely that it was a typo lol.

OSG dual cam head? haha

It seems like, for the most part, that's the way it is in the "Z community" or whatever. I think it partly due to the Z not being as mainstream as other vehicles and therefore pretty much the only people in the Z community are true enthusiasts, I like that.

Just an update for any of you guys that were wondering, Rex had the truck, trailer, and everything lined up. He called the seller to confirm and apparently he sold the car to someone else in the meantime even though they had already agreed on the deal??? Not cool lol. Anyway, the search continues...

This is so exciting!

that is something funny lol

Wow, it looks amazing.

Aww, I hope they don't get rid of all the titles. I like 'em lol.
