Does anyone know anybody who sells aftermarket chrome bumpers (just center bar) for the 280Z? I bought a rear one but all I can find for the front are OEM and they are about $1000.

I am having a perplexing problem. I pulled the window frame out of the driver door on my '73 to install something or other I don't recall now. I have been having trouble getting it back in place. I have tried a variety of window up, window half up etc... What's the secret? I have ruled out stealing the door of Bill Madamba's car and having the paint matched. He's too nice a guy and would notice the missing door if he ever did anything other than go to dog shows... :stupid:

Well I decided to go the DIY route on everything i have done to my car so far. Hence it only seemed logical to go DIY on the car paint itself. This is the first time i am painting a car and hopefully i do a good job. Please feel free to share any painting tips /advise or pitfalls from you DIY painting experience. I have finished all the body work (a real pita) and an in the process of creating my garage paint booth for painting my car. I keep this thread updated i i progress through the painting process through the coming week or so.

Hi Guys. I'm a new member of the site -so far I have spent a lot of time reading and learning but this is my first post. Also, the proud new owner of a 78 280z. I decided to clean up / detail the engine bay but wanted to get some opinions on some surface rust. It seems to be in just a handful of places, mostly near the radiator and on the bottomside of the hood. My thoughts were to hand sand the rust spots, apply a rust inhibitor and touch up the paint. Based on the pictures I have attached, does this seem reasonable? None of the rust spots seem to be anything beyond surface rust. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I've been looking for a fiberglass airdam like the one shown here, but I'm having a hard time finding this type without the blinker holes. I have the fiberglass shugar scoops and I want to eliminate the bumper and glass the whole front end together, no seams. I'm finding them all day long in ABS, or with blinker cut outs, but this is the one I want, without blinkers, with the rectangular ducts. So far I'm having no luck. If anyone has one they are looking to get out from under, I'm looking to buy. Don't care if it is damaged, I can fix the fiberglass while I'm moulding the parts together. I do have a reasonably clean front bumper with all the brackets & trimmings (th…

My 72 240 large mouth gas cap has a chain hooked to the inside of the cap. Where on earth does the other end hook too? Can't seem to come to a logical conclusion. Thanks! Leonard
