FLC Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Welded a frame in place and set the tank in there i still need to drill the mounting wholes and weld up the rest of the floor. I'm away on a work trip but will be back soon i hope to get everything together before it starts to turn cold. I always wanted a z with a sun roof.

FLC Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Finally back to the grind quite literally! Now that it's warm I can get started again this weekend I finished up my gas tank frame finished fabricating the gas cap mounting bucket and welded up some on the rear section of the floor board. I'll post some pictures tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLC Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Oh also got my driver half shaft in but its nearly compressed at full droop. I swapped out the r180 for the 200 and used the half shafts that came with the 200 I checked them against the 180s and they appeared to be the same length can some one help me with this conundrum!

FLC Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Here are some images of my rear gas cap idea this will be my second one like this my first one had round light this one will use the factory lights. I'll have to find different way to mount my tag but the idea is to keep it look as close to original in the rear as possible. My buddy works at an aircraft shop and he plates all my gold stuff for me. I believe most of the fab work is done i just need to finish welding it solid. I was dreading doing it but once i got started it didn't take long it usually never does just trying to find the courage haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLC Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 More rust porn for you rustophiles. these hole in the rear section of the floor pan was the worst part of the whole car. my rear end is finally all put back together it was suppose to be a 2 week job some things happened here and there and what you know a year later. this is with gas tank installed Does anybody have a set of swaybar busings for an aftermarket rear sway bar i think its 7/8, i lost mine plrease forgive me ive had theses bars for like 5yrs in a box i'm bound to lose something. Powder coated halfshafts good idea, powder coated flanges not so good. GC coilovers with 245/45/17 on 17x10 with a cm.ish to spare oh right. The rear section is almost complete finish up some welding smooth everything out and then can move on to the front and then paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1969honda Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looking great! What gas tank did you decide to go with? That tucked up in there really nice, looks like you gained some room for running the exhaust to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_1291.JPG raft shop and he plates all my gold stuff for me. My son did the same thing with his '73 240Z. Used a 17 gallon fuel cell that centered where the spare tire well used to be to allow the dual exhausts for his LS1. He went to a salvage yard and got a license plate holder off an older car that had the gas cap behind the plate. That was done a lot in the 60's and some in the 70's.
