Hello! Does anyone have experience with universal fender flares on eBay? I see a few listings with Z's in their product photos that look decent but who knows if they're real product photos. They're a fraction of the MSA ones so it's a tempting cheaper alternative...

Long time lurker turned builder. This thread will be slowly updated and the build may not be the most interesting, but I'd like to share/document. I've used this site for ideas and daydreams for about 8 years, so thanks everyone! My canvas is a 1970 series 1 240z with period modifications. Today was the first day I actually started work on the car, previously I was just trying to get the car running a little better by cleaning and rough tuning the carbs. I started by removing the previous owner's attempt at making a floor.... This left an even larger hole in the floor, perfect for cooling you down on a hot summer's day. The floors were cut out when I bought it and 2x3 frame tubing welded from the TC bracket to the rear rails. Unfortunately the rails were not even close to level, so that had to be fixed. One side almost leveled, but the floor and main frame rails are just the beginning... Time to save up a bit to buy an engine hoist.

Bought these for my Z with 315 rear tires, but then sold it without ever installing them. They should fit any 1970-1978 and are the bond on type with plenty of lip to blend them into the body seamlessly. If I remember correctly, they are about 1" wider than the BAMF ZG bolt on flares (which are what I had). If you want to bring your Z by we can test fit them to see. Don't remember the exact name for the style of these flares or how much I paid for them. If anyone can pinpoint it that might help me out some. Looking for $300

For sale is a 1971 dark green 240Z. Asking 14,000. Mechanically, this car is great! Transmission and engine operate properly and the suspension is nicely upgraded. Not much in the way of extra noise from the interior. Speedo stopped working a bit ago. It was jumping around and then quit. My guess is that the cable needs to be cleaned of oil that was leaking from a now replaced oil pressure sender unit. Nothing needs to be done to this car to enjoy it every day. It sounds great, runs great, and feels quick and planted. It's got a JDM look with the fender mirrors and flares, front air dam and rear hatch spoiler. New wheels and grippy performance tires round out the aggressive look. All the work was done by Art, the owner of Sunrise Z in Glendale, CA. The paint is ok. It looks great just looking at it, but on close inspection it has some chips and has orange peel texture. Previous owner got it painted cheaply at a shop. Original paint code used. Its a single stage paint job. Interior is great except missing stereo and the bezel that would hold one is broken. It has the controls for, and the majority of the A/C and heater parts, but these systems do not currently work. I'll add more pictures of the interior next to show all of that better.

I have a 72 240Z with 6 liter LS2 and T56 6 speed. After the engine/trans install (by Dave - (Viperredls1z), we did a 4 wheel Willwood disc brake setup from Arizona Z Car and while I was doing that, I opted for the package with 5 x 4.5" lugs which gave me the option for larger tires and wheels. I got a set of wheels (11x17 rear and 9x17 front) and mounted Michelin 335/35-17 rears and 275/40-17 fronts. The car originally had hand built flares, but they were poorly done and in any case did not cover the larger tires. This gave me the perfect opportunity to do some paint and bodywork that I have been putting off. The car is in Ralph Garza's Body shop in Roseburg, Oregon for complete body work and paint. Check my facebook page: Datsun V8Z. The old paint is almost all gone,body panels are being aligned and this weekend they started on the flares. I made templates out of 1/2 inch plywood that would be the outside opening of the flares. The template radius is 1 1/2 inches larger than the tire radius. I located the center of the template 1" above the center of the wheels/tires, allowing for a bit more suspension travel. This weekend, Ralph and his buddy John from Portland (who has done SEMA class winners) started mocking up the flares. They are using rigid styrofoam blocks and spray foam to construct a workable surface, then filing and sanding down to a final shape. Hopefully this will be done this weekend, and the fiberglassing can begin. The side marker lights go away, and I'm adding turn signals behind the front grill (yet to be fabricated). No front bumper. Thin black fiberglass bumper? in the rear. It will be painted with many layers of Kandy Tangerine over gold metalflake with a black stripe down the center. This is my preferred daily driver, so we are adding some comfort touches: Lots of sound insulation, Honda S2000 power mirrors, leather reupholstery on the existing 350Z power/heated seats. Also adding a small overhead console for rear-view camera. I've attached a photo of the car before bodywork and a few pictures of it as it sits in the shop. I'll try to post every few days to keep everyone updated.
