Here's an update.

 

Sold the 240Z. awww :(

 

Getting a set of 15x12" hoosiers.

 

Probably going to run 15x12 Diamond racing wheels with 4.5" or 5" backspacing, looking into that further. Also doing investigating on wheel studs.

 

Now that I got the 240Z out of the way, I can hopefully get more progress on getting the cage in the 260Z.

if you go with diamond wheels, i would HIGHLY recommend the 5/8 ARP wheel studs with the tapered 1" lug nuts. I'm also going to run 15x12 slicks with hoosier radials on diamonds with 4.5 inches of backspace to clear the inside of the wheel well.

I have sold the trunion that I built to a member on the board. Look forward to him posting up a thread pretty soon. He's get it blasted and primed this weekend.

 

Today I am getting a set of 15X12 slicks dropped off. Hopefully I will have to to do some welding today.

I did plan on working a lot next week as I have off work.

 

I was going to pick up another bottle of MIG gas, but the welding store is closed.. so I guess I wait till Monday.

 

Currently looking at buying wheels and a set of IMSA fiberglass fenders.
