Guest Zpeed Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 i don't think that it is that hard to do , joining the body panels to make it looks a hell of a lot better, would take some time, and would be a hassle but not to hard just sheet metal sanding, bit of molding, i've been practicing with the mig at home making some crafty artie stuff, might start on the Z ssoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Looks like a great start--smoothing and all does wonders for the cars in general. Please post this in the Body & Paint Forum next time so everyone can enjoy--you'll get precious few comments by isolating it in the 6 cyl forum.

Guest V8wannabe Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 a quick summary of what was done...seam between headlight and fender filled, drip rails over doors removed, rear vents filled, door handles shaved (remote system installed), rear quarters installed 1' wider, all emblems & side molding removed, all inner sheet metal primed and thin coat of truck bed liner for sound deadening....still debating where to hide the gas filler lid. Your right,it wasn't hard just took a bit of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Removing the drip rails really makes a difference, cleaning up the body as you have done emphasises the great Z lines. Good job, I like it As far as the petrol filler goes, as you probably know some cars used to hide the filler under a hinged rear number plate arrangement. Usually spring tensioned to keep it closed, hinged at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzd14 Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 where did u get the spoiler that u have on the front of your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest V8wannabe Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 The spoiler is off a 240 and the holes for turn signals were filled. I got lucky and found it in a wreckers. There are no names or identification on it....not much of a lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
