wickiewicked240z Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 from MSA airm with license plate In the last picture does the headlight bucket lower bracket go over or under the air dam were the turn signals go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 great progress. way more than i can say about my own car. i would imagine the headlight bucket bolt holes go over, as when they are bolted to the fender, the turn signal indentation sits over the bumper, so you'd have to do some weird cutting to get them to squeeze behind that little slit and overlap infront of the headlight buckets, simply because the headlights are attached to the fender pretty tightly at that particular area where they meet, and the indentation is.

sir_daniel Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 might missed it in the thread, but where did you get the flares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 How come I cant post the pictures just the links... Try this: use "img" instead of "url" when you link the jpg. Hmmm, I'm wondering if the link needs 'jpg' at the end. Try what I suggest and see what happens. Otherwise upload the shots to HybridZ and link from there in what I just said---it should do the trick. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8260 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 very cool. Im doing a similar grill for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 You could ram a brick wall with that grill on the car and it'd still be intact. The grill I mean : ) Looks mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickiewicked240z Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Installed the zg flares with some m6 nut inserts and som stainless steel 14mm m6 allen head bolts and some stainless steel washer. the bolts were not long enough so i order some 20mm which would grab the nutsert more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mull Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Coming along nicely! : ) I'm growing more and more fond of the ZG-flares Why use allen-bolts rather than rivets though? Just curious... Oh... uh, and I... eh... been thinking about the grille. It kind of reminds me of those BBQ-racks that public cookouts have available. Since they are virtually indestructable I guess : ) Are you going to paint it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I gotta say, that is an absolutely beautiful restoration. Kudos. On the flares and bumper, very awesome. It looks amazing. I am not quite sure why, but the grille was kinda jarring to me. Methinks the horizontal slats, thinner, would be quite "in scale" with the rest of the car. Again, totally amazing!

wickiewicked240z Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm going to try to get it chrome If i can afford the price if not powdercoat it....allen bolts look nicer it fills up the space on the flares were you mount them to.
