280zex Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I got this car out of the junk yard like this....I paid 700.00$ 4,000.00$ and 7 months later It looked like this... Then I decided to do some low speed aero "mods" like this:sad: After 6 months and some realy bad twists of fate in my personal life I got off my ... and did this as of last night...actualy it took 6.5 hours. And while I was at it I painted and rewired my engine compartment. That took all of saturday.. I think I'm gona go with a pin-on fiberglass cowl hood as I plan on installing a 350 and 700r4 trans this winter. I just gota sell off the straight 6 and 5 speed first!! I only have 60k on the engine and 8k on the trans. 60mm TB, Cam, Megasquirt and Innovative WB O2 also. I want more hp at the wheel. Either I install a turbo or swap the engine out for a V8. Once the car is fixed up(again) It will not be my daily driver any more. Olliver at Z-Specialties(Snohomish, Washington) hooked me up with an original old-school whale tail:icon6: for the rear. Whale tail mock up.... I have been thinking about doing a checkered flag pin stripe decal about 7 inch wide from the front all the way back. My little brother has a plotter and can make me any decal I want!!!!!! any size too!! I should post some of his work as I know he's pretty amped in doing my decals. Anyway if any of you have any questions about how I did my body kit-MSA type 2 and 3 mix- feel free to e-mail me I have lots of pix..Yes I did All of the body work myself. The entire kit is foam filled as well. 280zex@comcast.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Nice deal from the junk yard. I'm moving to Washington. If you haven't found them yet, to to http://www.up22.com it's a place called "Unlimited Products" here in Southern Cal. They offer fiberflass Z hoods from $209.00 for stock hinge mounts, up to $559.00 for full pin-on race weight hoods. It will take them a good 6 weeks to get it together, but it's good stuff.

Guest Ron Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I agree. You can just put it on the stock glass hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Glad to see you stuck with it. I remember when the "aero mods" happened and you contemplated throwing in the towel. Lookin' good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
