JoeK Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Will you be making fiberglass also, or just the CF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Stuff looks awesome and I'm not much for CF. Edited May 9, 2015 by chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone apologies for sort of (okay, totally) neglecting this thread. Thank you for the kind words and the continued support! These projects continue, behind the scenes. I haven't flaked out yet Lots to update, but I'll make this update a short and sweet one. First. We are in the process of finishing a website, so we will actually have a venue to market our parts from. I'll update on that as it happens. Second. In addition to the projects you've seen here. I've since made some door panels. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out. Still finalizing fit on the one piece versions but the two piece (using your existing OEM top piece) panels are lovely and what I'm personally going to run with alcantara, mimicked below with Jo Ann's Fabric faux suede. Third. Console ash tray delete (would allow for cup holder insert - as mentioned a long time ago by Madkaw) Finished the plug today. Keeping busy. As always.

RebekahsZ Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 How do we install the screws at the back to secure the console? I'm planning to spend some cash with you when you give the green light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) EDIT: Doh! misread. I haven't cut those holes to allow people to fine tune the mounting location. Personally, I'd stick a screw in the OEM holes. Put a dab of neverseize on it, carefully drop the console in place. Drill out the dots. Everyone's car. and project is so different. I want to drill the least amount of holes possible. For the door panels :Nut inserts. I used 1/4-20 inserts, the same I used for the fender flares. You can install inserts in whatever OEM holes your particular model of door has. Here's an insert installed next to an untouched OEM clip hole.

madkaw Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Door panels look fantastic. Still hoping for a console that blanks out the shifter holes so I can move mine forward. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one either. Sure glad I started this thread- lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88dangerdan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Door panels look great. I'm in for a set of the 2 piece when you're ready to start offering them to the masses. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I want door panels, and console, and eventually I'm betting you'll make a dash. And I'll want that also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgsheen Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'll want a set of two-piece door panels as well. If you build them, I'm assuming we're using our own uppers and covering them as we please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The door panels look fantastic! Anything new happening with the clam shells ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The door panels look fantastic! Anything new happening with the clam shells ? +1. I just bought a nice running 240z to replace the fargone 2+2 that I had been hoarding parts for. Installing my custom quick release and MOMO wheel was step 1, but gauges are in the not so distant future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 speakers in the panels and a dash, ill take all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the support everyone. Website is "done".... Albeit a work a progress. Finally a place interested prospective buyers can go to contact the business directly. www.palmcomposites.com Currently building inventory. All appears to be going well. I'm infusing the newest console mold tomorrow as well. And the clamshell project has now become my personal project. I brought the tools home and will continue to come up with an acceptable solution. It will happen. Oh yes.. Edited June 1, 2015 by OldAndyAndTheSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddler Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hello, I signed up to Hybrid Z just so I could get the posts of this thread emailed to me so I can keep up to date. I have '78 280Z that I am trying to get collector plates for (dirt cheap insurance, some rules may apply). This means it has to look stock. Can the console be made to be painted on, possibly with a little less weight? My goal is to buy two pounds of weight loss on the car for every pound I lose all the while keep it stock looking. The door panels make me want to toss the stock look idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
