Griz Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 The yellow Z reincarnated from my initial purchase in 1978. I found the BSR spoiler and put it with the G nose I already had. I used PPG Vibrance Yella and it really jumps in the sunlight. As soon as I get it roadable, I'll post some outdoor picts. More photos in My Photos.

Griz Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 I like the color, too, but I paid for it. I really want to get to Heartland sometime next year. We also have a group at work that is planning to rent Hallett for a track day, so I'm in with that, too. The car was at the local paint shop, so I don't own those cars in the background. Oh well. They do high end restoration and hot rod stuff, so I went there for my paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-ya Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Nice! What flares are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yeah those flares look really good. They dont stick out and look cheap like some. I also love the color. Is the Gnose all one piece along with the fenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Davy - Thanks for the kind words and the bigger pic. The flares are from back in the days (1977) when I picked up the Gnose, hood and other glass parts for $125. I thought it was a good deal, even then. I do not know the vintage or history of the flares, but most of the parts were from Bob Sharp racing Advertizement from Car & Driver, Article on "When Stock Won't Do", 1977). The original nose and fenders were seperate, but this time around, I had them bolted, glassed and bonded together. The entire front clip comes off with about 18 bolts. Not a simple removal, but still relatively easy to do. The front spoiler I managed to salvage from Motorsport Z and then fitted to the nose. NKC_280Z - I'll be in Olathe sometime over Christmas. If I take the car, I'll let you know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
