I posted this in the fabrication topic and thought it might be better off here in body kits.
The question is, Does anyone here know of anyone who has seperated (cut loose) the rear quarter panels and moved them out for a wide body affect? I have looked everywhere on the net for this and cant find it. Maybe know one does it because of all of after market wide fiberglass fenders that are out there. I am wanting to widen a 260z without fiberglass. Any help would be appreciated.

I sold mine for 18K to a guy in Guam. I had 16K in parts. Drove it for 2 years and had a blast in it. It was a RB20 swap. Starting a new build now w RB26. Just thought I would post this for your own info. The Zs are worth alot of money if they are restored properly. Just throwing a motor in an older unrestored car shouldnt bring much money. You really should be paying for the quality of the restoration.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Would this include then cleaning the frame and putting a layer of sealant/epoxy or is the price just for blasting and dust off alone?
Oh and I did a bit of searching and what people seem to be using to clean the baking soda residue off, without having flash rust come back is just liquid metal clean, and using a pressure blaster.
I have some links if you want me to pm you them, but basically using some product called holdtight 102 (never heard of it), or aquaklean by kbs that sorta thing. The other companies names escape me.
Not sure about aquaklean and the others but holdtight 102 said that it was reviewed by sherwin williams so more than likely it is compatible with sherwin williams paint system.
You did a good job on your homework. My distributer sells holdtight 102 so I can get it for you or you may be able to get from Sherwin Williams. I'll find out in the morning. The #s I quoted would not include any sealants. And if time allows I may be able to blast some of the engine compartment. I do blow off the dust. Blasting averages about $150 per hr. and is well worth it. It all depends on what existing paint is on the car.

RE: RockChucker
Not sure what soda blasting is running at, but I know that companies here in chicago will sand blast the frame of the z for under 1 grand.
Maybe they're charging more because soda can't be re-used? IMHO sounds pretty high. Did you strip all parts off so just metal is left? Are they going to spray it with epoxy or some sort of coating when they're done?
On a Z I can probably strip the outside of the body and all of the jambs for about 500 to 800 as long as the paint is just one layer (basically factory) paint.

Tony did you get the soda from Harbor Freight as well? How much did you use just out of curiosity? I recently purchased a 240 that needs to be cleaned badly. it has been sitting under a tree for who knows how long and has nice green funk on it. the car is supposed to be white lol.
You might as well call me if your going to strip an entire car with soda. The little HF unit would take weeks for an entire car. I can strip a Z for around $800.00 and it only takes a day.
I go all over the Southeast.

Hey Z Guys,
I posted this yesterday in the parts for sale area. I should have placed it here. I have a mobile Soda Blasting Unit. I got into this business because I couldnt find anyone to strip my car with Soda when I was restoring it. Please check out my website. I cover the Southeast. It is definitly a huge time saver. 1 day to completely strip a car to bare metal and will not hurt the metal, glass or rubber. Includes all the jambs and seams. Give me a call 706 897 0316 or go to my web www.gatorsodablasting.com
The cost to strip a Z depends upon what paint or how much paint is on it.
Let me help you do the job right.

Kjones,
Thats nice. I would like to see how you did the wide body. Did you take pictures throughout the build?

Hey Wedge,
These seats are the best. They have low bolsters on the seat bottom. Makes it easy to get in and out. Upper bolsters keep yu in the seat. Havent been to the dragons tail with the car yet. Seats are 289.00 ea at Saferacer.com . Come in Black, Blue and Red. Yes they are comfortable. They are hung off the frame just like the factory seats.

Here are the seats Im using. They are Sparco Steel seats. Its as if they were made for the older Zs.

Not to difficult. I can get you some pics but not until next week. Let my son barrow my camera until the end of the week. Flip up cap is just a marine flip cap. Small but looks appropriate on a small car. You can get original cobra caps but will cost you a fortune. I basically just piped the fuel fill to the original filler hose postion.

Yea thats to much. You can get much more for 10K.
