you would happen to have the guys number would you or some kinda' contact point? i would like to buy in state, because you know all to well about shippinf large items like these to alaska

you know anyone that has some front fenders for sale in anchorage, or in alaska for that matter?

AK z where do yyou live in alaska? I live in both fairbanks and anchorage and I thought i was all alone, with having a z! i seen a few around here, but nobody execpt for me has made any effort to restore one. BTW I know what you mean on the SHIPPING!

I broke a cam tower bolt as i was torqueing it down, to the minimum torque spec at 25 ft pounds! So i had to take all the rocker arms and mouse traps off and go order a bolt for it, so it should be in within the next couple day and I can go ahead put the head back together. Also i was wondering if anyone has any tech tips on how to realighn the cam journels with the cam towers? New info on this might prove to be useful!

these are the newest pics on the motor. I've had a few problems with realighning the journels on the camshaft, does anyone have some tip on how to do so?

I got all these parts sandblasted for $180..i didn't think that was a real great deal, but it turned out pretty good and should have it powdercoated pretty soon.

roll down the window and take the door panel off. Look inside the door you will see a little tab in that you with i a little whole in it and take a screwdriver or a long pair of needle nose pliers and put it in the hole and push down. let me know if that doesn't makes sense

i put the rings on the piston today, tomorrow i shoud have the head on and working on the the cam...Not to much left.

I should have some more pic in a couple days.

unfortunately i couldn't tell you if its durable, because this is the first time i've done it. I've heard both good and bad things about undercoat, but it all depends on the preparation before putting it on just like everything else.

just stupid

this is was is what the parts looked like before sandblasting and powdercoating.

This is what the motor looks like right now. Painted it high temp chrystler red. The head is not bolted on the block it was just sitting on there for the picture.

ill have some more pics shortly. What do you think about undercoating the engine bay?

in with the new

out with the old

I just thought i would show you guys what ive done to restore my car... sorry i didn't have any pics of my body work in progress. I will continue to post pics of the progress

come on guys there got to be one person on here with decent front fenders that what to sell them, right?

I have a 1977 280z and i need two front fenders for it right now... i would be willing to by some fenders off anyone regardless what the paint looks like just as long as there is no rust.... I anyone what to get rid of the fenders i would be willing to buy it however they what...Let me know, the first person who writes me and sends me some picture proving the quality will be my seller

i unercoated my engine bay..i turned out pretty nice... i think it looks better than the herculiner, but still has the same pricipal behind it,

i took the stock bumper off and welded all the holes and then put fiberahair to bond with the metal...then sanded it down 36grit and put a light layer of bondo on top of that.

so i thought i would put some pic up here on my rebuild process..feel free to pick on the work...the only thing i regret doing is undercoating the engine compartment

Ok thats pretty easy to understand...So what do you guys think about my tire setup on this? i was reading a couple stickies and some people think that ia a good tire setup others dont!? OLDERTHANME, you were saying that i will understeering issue...front a smaller front tire? My thought on it was i simply didn't need a 235/60r15 in the front or a 215/60/r15 in the rear, so i mixed it up and im guessing thats not such a good idea?

OK, im retarded guys from everything ive read on here i still cant figure out how this works. ok, this is my situation i want to run 235/60/r15 on a 8.5inch rims with an 4.5 offset in the back and 215/60/r15 on a 6inch rims on the front with the same offset. the problem i have is when i put on a 2inch wheel adapter(or whatever size it maybe) converting it to a 5lug how do i play with my offset. Now i will be have a set of tokico hps front and rear so i don't know if that will make a difference at all. Im going for the muscle. the street/ autocross racing. man your guys comment back have been alot of help...sorry if i ask stupid Q's sometimes i just don't want to make a mistake. thank you joe

thanks ma ou guys are great.
