Hey HybridZ members. Long time lurker, first time poster. My name is Logan, and I work for a company called THMotorsports. Been through 50+ cars and a handful of different motorcycle projects, and I finally found the chassis Ive been looking for. A 10 year love affair with these Z chassis came to a realization for me a couple weeks back. Im going to chronicle my build here.
First, a picture of my drag car project
1989 Mustang Lq4/TH400/S475/Air2Water
Needs a lot of buttoning up, exhaust is now twin dumps at the fenders, and the air to water sits under the fender-well opposite the turbo!
And my new baby; 1978 280z, 5spd, 106k miles
Was originally a california car, owned by a truck driver that used it as a cruiser on trips out west. Paint is a pearl white respray, and the entire interior had been restored. 106,000 on the clock, zero rust/rot, and drove from Chicago to Kentucky and didnt miss a beat. Forum member "curly" works with me at THM and found it on craigslist. Drove out, test drove it for 12 seconds, handed him cash and hit the road. Naturally it will be getting an LSX/T56 setup, as those are plentiful and cost effective for my goals. Going to be building an autocross/weekend warrior. More pics to come of progress!
