1974.5 260Z ATLAS build

[A to Z]

On the hood for my 260Z project. I will give some clarification. It is meant to be a picture frame. I want an open engine compartment. no hood at all looks unfinished. this is mean to close off the stuff that is mundane and let the engine shine through. black but blue underneath and a fully polished out engine. So, maybe once done you will understand what I am going for. The Behemoth at Z Car Garage has the same deal.....but the blue engine compartment, shaved, will really contrast with the black picture frame.

thanks.  It's a very expensive hobby I have.

12-06-2025.  I have boxes and boxes of stuff I have bought for the car, and today was the day to start throwing all the stuff on and make some room back!  First, I had the mobile welder stop by and weld my radiator support back in, and while here, I had a thick steel plate welded on to the top.  It is stronger now than it ever was.  Then it was time to start installing parts on the engine, getting the hood on, rear suspension back in and all 4 new wheels.  I took the dash down from the rafters so I could start on it on very cold days indoors, and it is a lot heavier than I remember......I am going to swiss cheese the frame and lighten it up a bit......I don't need that weight!  Pics:
