Sleeper-Z Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 HybridZed'rs: Well, recieved my calling once again. This time i'm keeping her for good. As for those who don't know me, i bought Jason's 9.90 silver Z, played with it, but then couldn't afford it and couldn't justify it at the age of 18, sold it to Whiteboy. Now i'm 19 and have since missed working on a project and dreaded the day ever since i sold the old one. Let's see... specs on this one... 75/76 280z (no vin plates) nascar style cage done right (roof cut off, cage dropped in, roof back on), fuel cell, race-type steering shaft and removeable steering wheel, ATL Fuel Cell... and the good part... fiberglass everything! 2 hoods (one with vents one without), a pair of front fenders that are flared, 2 pairs of rear fenders one flared, and the other flared alot more (look real awesome), 1 pair sealed headlights, 1 pair of doors (very awesome, very lightweight; see pic of my brother holding it up with his pinky), and one hatch with lexan window (if it is found). as for the plans, not releasing yet as i haven't decided, but i will try to get sponsored. POR-15 please! *note, i'm the one with the long hair which i will be doing all of the rust handling as well as driving, bald guy is my brother and mechanic. Thanks, Steven M.

TheNeedForZ Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Wow the body/panels looks very straight which is rare for a FG car. Keep this one bro, seeing how it is all FG it could be a very fast Z when it's done. Do you know where the FG parts are from? They seem to be very well made to be all lined up(my aftermarket steel replacements doesn't line up at all) I am interested in finding the source for those parts.

Sleeper-Z Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 yeah man, i'm so excited about this one. as for the FG parts... not sure where they are or what source, the buddy of mine that sold it to me had it for 12 years, and those parts are older than that. They are amazingly straight and are not even warped! Sorry couldn't help you out, would have loved too though. this will be a great project for me and my bro. Mike, just message me or whatever and stop on by. Maybe we can have a BBQ at my place when it gets colder. (us houston hybridz'rs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 freggin' nice man. Looks like a good amount of cancer repair though. fun fun fun. ...and you're hair isn't THAT long. 'I' have long hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper-Z Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 oh yeah, she's on the rotisserie for sure. just gotta make or buy one. i've had a shaved head for 6 years so this is long for me . thanks for the comments guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper-Z Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Update: Added daytime pics (see first post). Also added pic with the e30 (customers car) and my bros mini. Plans for this month are to blast to bare metal and prime with aluminum based primer (weldable primer), build a rotisserie, and replace sheet metal. Bought a Miller 175 with tank today just to take on the project, also to do more work and get more money! Hopefully by the end of the year she'll be prepped, then to Fab the subframe, hopefully be able to afford a tig to fab control arms, and to save up for brakes and suspension. The drivetrain, including motor and/or transmission on this part will be something totally new on Z's (as far as documented ones are) but will be a secret until it is in and running. I'll also be updating you guys on the process in their right sections on this forum. Thanks and happy driving! As far as purpose of this car, SCCA Solo 2, Unlimited class bumper to bumper racing (possibly NASA), and maybe drift events for fun and to get recognized (business-wise). Looks like i need to polish up my driving skills, driving a truck for a year+ isn't the best thing to strengthen my techniques! Going to take this day-to-day as money is tight and going to college to be a pharmacist is really killing me. Hopefully be done with everything minus drivetrain in a year.

Lunar240z Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 it'd be cool to see a jag rear end... like on this 510. http://www.bryanf.com/510/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Wow, that rear end is NICE. Definatelly for peope who want to run ULTRA wide rims but don't want them sticking out too much. I wonder how well it performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Very nice, question is, "Why can't I find a Z like this?" I'd pay good money for something like that! Oh well, someday... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
