Nizm0Zed Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 FARK ME!!!! That looks tough as.... It needs some small round lights hidden behind the grille, next to the main lights, pretty much in line with the holes in the radiator support panel. You can sort of see what it'd look like in the first pic where the hole is semi visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z for XC Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Sorry to resurect a thread, but I thought that posting in thhis thread rather then starting a new one would be better descision. I am the new owner of this 280z, yea the one with the fiberglass on the front=p So It's going to be a month before I get to do any actual work on it. This summer (since I am a college student) I am going to put an interior in it, drop a 400 sbc in it, and finish off the bumper and misc as necesary. Overall plans for rthe car is a mile long list, but next year I am going to do more significant work I hope, like manual trans swap, power steering, and new power plant with obx rear end. So right now, where I need the most help, would be the fiberglass. If you followed the thread you will notice that MasterMechanic never made a negative cast from the mold. currently, the fiberglass is attached to the car via self tapping screws into the fender. What would I like to do? well I'd like to take the mold, add round foglights in it, bevel that lip back. Going to put an aluminum lip spliter from the radiator support forward to add stregnth to the bumper. I was thinking about maybe adding some brake vents as well. So I could really use some information on the types of glass to use, and the steps I should go through to do this. My dad and I are both fairly good glassers, but we have never made a cast of something. Thanks in advance, you guys have been an excellent source of information.

Z for XC Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am not certain if I am going to actually sell it. Chances are 50% right now depending on how my glass experience goes. Plus the fact of having a one of a kind is cool. I will definately be keeping the mold in case I get people who back into me or something. You could expect to know if I have these availible for sale by the end of Auguest. If they do go for sale, it will be a limmited offer and only a few productions.

Neverdone Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It's the last of the V8's Max! Look at the Blowah!" That thing reminds me of Max Rockatanskies Falcoln to no end. You need a big ass blower sticking through the hood though. NEED! ...and an angry dog and a shot gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zsteelman Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I am debating attempting something like this myself, some of you may have seen my build thread that documents the front end damage that my car has taken before I purchased it. I believe that I am going to probably start with a 08-10 Challenger front fascia and modify it from there. the Challenger is wider than the 280z but I believe that it could be sliced and spliced together. This would also allow use to use the Challenger headlights as well to keep it nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z for XC Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yea, I am still considering my options with what I have. It's hard to try and dream up game plans when you are a few hundred miles away from your car @zsteelman- If I had started with a car with front end damage I might consider the same, but the last pictures you saw are what I started with. I might end up going that route if I see it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
