Guest Widebodys30 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 This isn't mine, but this guys Z is AMAZING. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/645045 The custom work that has gone into this is staggering. Well thought out and well executed. Inspirational to see others out there still believe a custom car is more than a paint job, a set of tacky rims, rattle can exhaust tip, and a gaudy wing. Or opening up a catalog and pulling out the credit card. And, makes me miss my tools, compressor, and welder that I sold to re-locate even more...

blue72 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've been following this build for the last 2 or 3 years. He is one of only a handful of people crazy enough to chop the top on an S30. The LS7 doesn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 wow...the amount of work is INCREDIBLE!!! and he's not even done! O_O i can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmettoZ Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I feel embarassed to even have my car on cardomain website after looking at this guys work. Unbelivable, especially the trick exhaust flanges that he fabricated up. The window and roof mods look really really good, it totally changes the look of the car. This guy is giving Blue Oval Z a run for his money for fabricating skills!! Think what these two could cook up together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batou Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Lol I've been looking for that. Thats the Z that got me interested in these car to begin with! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Widebodys30 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Count me in on that handful. You are right, that exhaust collector IS beautiful work. I would love to chop the top @ 3-4 inches, myself. I halfway mapped it out in my head already when I bought the car. Still might, if I ever again get to the point I can replace my sunroof-cursed roof, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filmjay Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What is it about the Nordic areas and cool cars? I've come across quite a few really awesome rides from that corner of the world lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun40146 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Been checking that page for a while now, that man has some real talent. I can't wait to see that car run down the road. Reminds me of mull in a sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 where can i find the other crazy people who chopped the top? Okay, so we have Henrik aka chevyz240 jack280 aka yourself and boodlefoof That's all I've ever seen personally, just you three. I can't really count myself, but I've just chopped the top on my 240Z 3D model. I'll post a render or two when it's presentable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joela Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yikes! Another zcar dead at the hand of the torch. Wouldn't a tube frame and fiberglass have served better? ...I wonder how much you can pick up one of those awesome flared out 240z sorta-scarab clones with super-cool custom brown/yellow/tan striped paint and wings that were so popular in the '70s for these days -- oh wait, they've all been crushed... Whoops, sorry... *stodgy old guy*... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Widebodys30 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Z car dead at the hands of a torch? Only dead if the project is given up on. Would you say "Another dead '61 Galaxie at the hands of a torch" to Troy Trepanier? All Starliners MUST be 120 percent restored, down to restoring the assembly line Grease marks? Or maybe all of our Z's should look like we all opened the same catalogs, and whipped out our Credit Card? Like 95% of them do, anyways? My build is fairly radical, but honest, low buck hot rodding. Very much true to what REAL hot rodding WAS ORIGINALLY, when it didn't involve a $5,000+ order through S^MMIT or J#g"s, or a set of Strombergs going for 1500 bucks+. Or opening a M$A catalog, for that matter. I think quite possibly the only 100% new parts I will have bought will be in the engine overhaul bits and MAYBE tires. Sorry to ramble, but these guys are putting a LOT of love and investment that SCARES the SNOT out of MOST Folk. AND, I'm JEALOUS I can't do the same, myself, investing more time, love and thought, than arbitrarily throwing huge gobs of money a catalog or fill-in-a-blank-here tells you that you need to spend. THAT'S RESPECTABLE, and I Frigging SALUTE 'em for the efforts. BTW. Some of the famous radical Z's are still around, just in hiding. On certain California one is here, and very much alive.
