fusion Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I am preparing to paint my 1976 280z. I am doing panel alignment and fitment while the body is still in primer so I can make adjustments if necessary. I am looking for some panel gap numbers from people to get an idea of the ranges. Even better if you have done your own panel fitment and adjustment. A maximum and minimum if possible for each spot. Looking for gap measurements on: Fender to hood Fender to door Door to quarter panel Hatch to body Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Before I disassembled my Z I measured a few and took some pictures (this one was edited so you could actually read the numbers). Between the door and fenders I found my panel gaps were all falling around the 5.5mm range, and the hood and rear hatch gaps were a little smaller in the 2.5-3mm range.

fusion Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 I put this off until now doing other things. Would appreciate any additional measurements people have. I plan to start from the back and work forward.
