Custom 280Z


Recommended Posts

Ive got a partial 1975 280Z body and want to build it up with either a fiberglass or carbon fiber panels.  The problem is the condition of the core body.  The tail, 6" or so, was cut off the car.  Part of the firewall was pulled to help restore another Z.  The radiator support is missing as well.  The firewall and radiator support are available from K FAB as new pieces.  I have not found a method to recover the rear of the car. 

 

Should I plan on replacing this core body?

The left and right rear quarters are available from KF Vintage, and you can get a beaver tail from ZCarDepot. You'd be missing the underlying structure and floor pieces. If you can find another shell for a good price, you might end up money ahead by time you're done, not to mention the time difference. 

 

If you're attached to this shell, you could always find another Z in a junkyard and cut the back end off like someone did to yours.
