Car looks very good from here though and the color is nice. Are you gonna take another 2 yrs to get it on the road? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-tom Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 I know I spent way too much money on it, but I wanted it to be perfect. Its just going to keep going back to them until I'm happy with it. I hope to get the motor ordered in the next week or 2 so It should only be a few months until it is up and running around. SEZ Shootout maybe?

t-tom Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 The main thing is I only want to build it 1 time. I dont want to take it apart and change stuff down the road, so if it takes a little more time and money I can deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-tom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 After looking at the vin it is s30-05087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason4300 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 you're right, it is a pretty odd color, sort of a borderline between yellow and tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 After looking at the vin it is s30-05087 Ah right, I thought as much. If it does not have the 'H' prefix then its not a 'Fairlady 240Z'. Ｉt'll be a 'Fairlady Z' or 'Fairlady Z-L' for sure. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-tom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 The car was imported from Yokohama japan in september of 1983 by an Air force Captin. I have all the original paper work for the car from the first bill of sale in 1971 to the japanese Title for the car. The car is alot more yellow in person.

veritech-z Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I can relate to the car that looks better in pictures, my camo zzzap! has always photographed better than it actually looked. I'd have to say that from the pictures, your car looks very good, and the color is very unique. I would use a dark colored wheel, and possibly some black accents to make it jump out (mirrors, power bulge, if you are doing flares, maybe the tail light panel, that kind of thing).

t-tom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 The ZG flares and tailight panel are pepper gray (the same color as the elanore mustangs) and the wheel centers will be dark gray as well. My Fender mirrors are chrome as will be the bumpers and trim. Here is a picture of the tail light panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 The original elanore was an all yellow 1974 mustang, I guess that's the shelby reproduction like from the Nick Cage GI60S? Hair splitting aside, I like that color a lot. I think it's going to look serious once it's all back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusPuppis Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 That is a great color scheme you have planned out. Your story about the paint job is awful though.. 14k and the car had RUNS in it? I paint cars for the COST OF MATERIALS and wouldnt even CONSIDER turning one out with any blemish in the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 wow.... 14k on body. I've seen an utterly demolished 100k roles royce that was fixed to as good as new as you get for around 15k... And that car was terrible. I don't say this so you feel bad about spending so much, I just want you to have justification for calling them up every week when you find another problem in thier work. For that kind of price it should have been 110% professional and only took a month. Sounds like your body shop is an art shop, not a buisness. EDIT: Oh yea, car looks like it's gonna be awsome. Nice color scheme by the sound of it, different but sounds like you've got taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
