When my 240Z got painted the headlight cowls were off the car. During the painting process the cowl bolts got a good dose of paint. What is the best method for cleaning up the threads ? Thanks, Jay

Well, my body shop just finished blocking and priming my Z. Looks pretty good, he had one sag that he will cleanup when he scuffs it. I can't wait to get this back together and start driving it!

Some of you may have sen the thread on hybridZ about this but I am interested in what others would like to see. I have made a LOT of sketches and here they are: I call this one "maverick" I call this one "La Belle" this one is just for fun this one is a bit E-type-ish I would like to hear what you think and would like to see. Maybe some people could show some of their own sketches of what they would like to see in a new kit. OTM

This weekend was able to get the car on the lift for an exhaust tweek that turned into a new system from the header back, but that is another thread. Here are some photos of the underside of my car as unmolested 37 year old patina. The only thing done has been a cleaning with a hose. Everything else is mostly all original, including the diff & tranny leak. The garden hose quick fix has been repaired. Bonzi Lon

I picked this picture off the Arizona Z Car web site. I really like the front spoiler and am trying to identify who makes it. I'm pretty sure the car belongs to Will Robertson in Scotland. I've left a couple of emails for him, but so far no answer. So if you know who makes this spoiler, I'd like to know! Thanks.

Hey guys: If you're sitting in your Z and you have the window rolled down, it's nice to put your elbow out the window, right? The stainless strip that your elbow would be resting on pops off on my car, on both sides. The resto shop didn't notice this, but I have no idea how to keep them on. When I shut the door, I have to hold onto them, pushing down a bit. Any ideas? Jared

http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ I bought a can of 901 silver spray paint from this company. I wasn't expecting much but I got a pleasant surprise. It's a perfect match. Just thought I'd pass that on.

I am interested in having a set of Zap decals made. The original owner of the zap I recently purchased had them taken off before taking delivery from the dealership. I've found a couple pics of the zap online but would appreciate anyone who has access to one getting some measurements and sharing them. Thanks in advance!

Well the car is starting to come together. I still need to high speed compound and buff the paint then add the emblems back and then add new rims and tires once I decide on something. got the twice pipes installed sounds pretty aggresive and the tips dont look bad I kinda like the look. Still have to install new windshield and seal. Let me know what you guys think so far. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v202/jlnuna/cars/260z/ Jonathan

so after much searching, unless someone can prove me wrong, I don't see any companies making anything other than glass flares for our cars. I just wanted to gauge some interest on ZG flares made of either ABS plastic or urethane, they would be much more resistant to cracking and also would be easy to reshape w a heat gun. Throw up a price you might be willing to pay if I have a bunch of these made.
