Slow_Old_Car Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a old Z chassis in my garage, ex solo 2 race car, the car had alot of fiberglass fendering which i'm saving, as well as the cage. The car has alot of cancer which is why i'm not bothering to restore it to it's former glory as a racer, but i figured i should at least mention it here in case there are certain really difficult areas of metal that might be clean enough for someone else to use. I've already cut the roof off for a friends car, the tail light deck has alot of surface rust but doesn't seem to go through, the rear fenders had been cut for the fiberglass units, but the curvature section of sheetmetal between the hatch opening and just below the rear fender bulge is still there, edges are rusty from being exposed but overall that metal looks sound. The frame rails looked really nice in the engine bay, but i'm also considering cutting the front of the car off to have a full scale mock up engine bay on casters so i'm not sure if i'd cut those out yet. The floor pans are trashed, but the tunnel itself looked good. The toolbox and associated metal immediately behind it before the spare tire well (which isn't there anymore) also looked decent enough. Rockers and doglegs are swiss cheesed. I'll try to get some photos up, just figured someone might be missing some ultra odd part of sheet metal on a restore of there own to where i could help before it gets sectioned up for the trash can.

Guest 72240Z Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I could use some parts. I will post some pix of the parts I need. How much do you want for the rear part where hatch latches and the sheet metal around the gas fill hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow_Old_Car Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 gas fill hole is gone, thats right along where the cut line was for the fiberglass fendering to begin, so i only have the upper third of that area basically. and by the rear part where the hatch latches do you mean the tail light deck? or literally just the area around the latch, cause that would entail destroying the tail light deck.

BillZ260 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Where are you in Texas, I could use the rear vallance under that tail light panell, or the whole thing if that would be easier for you to cut? Is the vallance clean? Mine is in poor shape. I'm in Tulsa, and may be willing to pick up depening on where you are in that big honkin state of yours. Thanks.

JSM Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The frame rails looked really nice in the engine bay, but i'm also considering cutting the front of the car off to have a full scale mock up engine bay on casters so i'm not sure if i'd cut those out yet. How much for the front clip? Mine is munched and I've been debating on fixing it? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=118723 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow_Old_Car Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Update: Bubbled surface rust on the tailight deck with mixed areas of paint. Wire wheeling could remove it, but the metal is textured and would have to be filled and smoothed with some type of body filler or lead before it could be painted and used. The vanity area below the tail lights is rust free somehow, i don't particularly understand it, but it's a clean sheet from weld seem to weld seam. The front clip had fiberglass fenders, so i couldn't provide fenders since i'm keeping those to make molds of. If you seriously want the front clip though and can figure out a way to get it to florida, i'll sell it. Be warned though the car being an ex race car, it has part of the cage coming through the firewall and affixed to the strut towers. So i'd have to either remove the bars, or ship with them in place rendering your battery tray area unusable? Lemme know, i'm all for helping you out on a clip if we can figure out a way to get it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
