I stopped by Thunderranch yesterday to see how my buddy Tom McBurnie was doing. He has a super sweet GT250 in his shop that belongs to a customer out of Nevada. The kit was done by the owner and it looks awesome. The car is a 77 with a LS1 in it. The interior is tan leather with a full race rollcage and Autometer guages. The reason Tom has the car is to sell it. If you are interested and need photos contact Tom or Jeannie McBurnie at www.thunderranch.com Tom also has a half completed car on a 77Z that the customer pulled the plug on. It has a 350 crate motor in it and Tom is looking for a buyer for it as well.

Well, the picture you've taken is of a finisher strip that sits atop the weatherstrip and carpet. That's not what you should really be worried about... It's what's under that, under the carpet, under the body... Pull the carpet and padding up and check the floor pans. Check the bottoms of the doors, dogleg, spare tire cavity, frame rails and sheet metal underneath the car.
All replaceable parts. I would be all over that car for the price of tow off. Good luck and her back on the road.

Both motors ran when pulled. Both are smog passed motors, that is the reason for the N47 heads. Shipping not really something I want to do. I really want them picked up. The N42 is bone stock. For the price a trip to San Diego is worth it.

Im in the SF bay area (CA) and im looking to buy a decent running l28 engine for my 1977 280z. Long blocks in good shape may also be considered. Post if you have any sort of L28 engine that runs (or long block). Thanks
Alex
I got two in San Diego. Both are long blocks, complete with all fuel injection parts. One is a N42 Block with N47 head, the other is F54 block with N47 head. The N42 is out the car ready to be picked up and the F54 block in the car. The N42 motor will be cheaper at $250.

That wing is the JDM version in the picture and a little differenct than the IMSA version. I do have the JDM version and might have an extra. zccjdm might have the JDM version.

Got two in San Diego. IM me and I will take care of you.

his guy is out of las vegas and the kit is really nice. For the price its not that bad either. I don't have it yet but a few friends do and they went on nicely.
Does the kit work with the parking brake?

Montezuma, I know of the company that you are speaking about. There work is top notch! I sold a Gnose from them and it was a big chunk of change. The fitment is about as good as OEM. I bought bought a rear set from them and had a company made a mold for me.
I had 16x12 -65 and had the Work over fenders and it tucked in nicely.
My friend got a front bumper from the company for a G-nose a few years ago. The 16x12s you used to have are now at my house. My friend bought them from you.

I'm going to order new rims, probably from the group buy.
i already have original ZG flares from Japan.
If I find that the wheels stick out too much, I'll order the set.
Hmmm...any 17x10's out there?
We are running 16X11's using the Works style over fenders, the wheels fit nicely under the overfender. We had them in fiberglass, the set we have came from Japan. We commissioned a mold to be made so that we could get them made in CF. We are using Thunderranch for our parts. www.thunderranch.com
There is a company in Japan that makes all these parts, I know Alan from Great Britian knows the website of the company. I used to have it.

Got a nice Urethane air dam for you. It is painted grey and came off of a 78. Drop me a PM with an offer and it is yours.

John is right, we replaced a pan gasket using a lift. We emptied out all the oil, removed all the bolts and then carfully slide the oil pan out. We used something tacky to put the gasket on so that it would not move. It worked out great, just need to have a steady hand.

Let me know when the dash board is complete I would really like to stop by and see it. I hope the fit is good because I know for sure we will be buying one. I would be most concerned about how the guages will be installed and anchored. Maybe a simple CF dash cap would sell well.

If the pair from Oregon does not workout I have two sets of taillight bezels in great condition that I am willing to sell. Leftover has first dibs on the sale.

Sent you an email.

Hit me up on the IM with a phone number or email and I can send you a picture and we can talk price. Willing to make a deal, no problem.

I have a set of harnesses, they are blue Luke brand. They are ready to ship.

Shoot, I called them and I guess it sold over the weekend.
I couldn't make it down for the trip sadly.If I had known that you would want it for sure I could have bought and left for you to pick-up. Too bad.
-
Look forward to seeing the new pictures. This is one super nice build and it appears that no expense is being spared.
-
I know they are expensive. We had 10 total at one time, but traded four away for a brand new interior for a roadster. I am more than willing to sell the five lug pair that I have. The gold center on them is real sweet.
-
We are going with Panasport 3 piece 16x10 and 16x12s. I do have an extra set of Panasport 16x13s available for 5 lug. The 5 lug is the Chevy bolt pattern. The centers are gold. These are light weight racing wheels. The 16x10s might be made available later, but not at this time. They are 4 lug of course.

I was at the MSA Garage Sale on Saturday and they had a returned cowl induction hood there for sale. I believe they wanted $50 for it. It had 4 holes in it, I guess the guy who returned it was intending to use hood pins. I talked to one of the guys about this thread and he said the main reason for not carrying the hoods is because of quality and fit issuses with the supplier. He said customers complained that the cowl hoods never fit right.

I got many parts and I will be at the Z bash on Saturday morning, see you there Joe.
I couldn't make it down for the trip sadly.
Would you pay $3600 for this: Vela Rosa Car???

That car is a steal at that price regardless of its problems.
