74_5.0L_Z Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Last May 27th, I wrecked my 5.0L powered 74 260Z. I demolished the front unibody, fenders, hood, etc... The suspension, engine, and body from the firewall back were not damaged. So I decided to cut the car at the firewall, and installed a complete frame, cage, and tube frame front end. I just finished. Pictures of the chassis are in my personal album. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Looks pretty cool!! Have you figured out the attachment for the fenders and radiator yet? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 That the next task (after painting the frame rails and the welds). I plan to install the engine and fenders, and then mount the radiator (ala Terry Oxendale) and fenders using 3/8" 0.032w 4130 tubing.
