While cleaning the firewall with a wire brush I uncovered a bit of bondo which I scoured out to reveal THIS!! There is nothing but superficial rust in the other classic rust spots, side drain boxes,fender wells ,spare tire or floor pans, just a bit under the battery tray, the tops of the fenders and this. My qustion is how to deal with it. It is not positioned in a place or big enought to be a structural problem, it is situated right on the seam of the cowl drain box and the upper side of the passenger foot well. So, POR15/cut and weld a piece or cut and braze a piece. Also the tops of thefender wells have a vee shaped configuration that seems to trap water at the for…

I am in the process of refinishing my engine bay and was wondering if it is possible to find Datsun 903 blue in rattle cans. I know Classic Datsun Motor works makes block,air cleaner and back panel colors in cans but don't know about body colors. Thanks, H Houghton

OK i am doing the body work on my own car.The thing is i was going to take it down to bare mettle. As i do i find there is some minor bondo work. Know i don't have allot of experience with that. I am changing the color from white to blue. I'm wondering if i just give it a good sanding to take off the clear coating. If the primer and paint will take and if you think it will show threw

Gnose auction This is an auction for a G-nose conversion in CA. Bidding was @ 185 when I posted this. It looks like a new unpainted part. Item number: 360137766594 What you are bidding on is a Custom Fiberglass G-Nose. It is still in good condition. It has a little fiberglass work to be done on the light buckets, but otherwise in good shape. There are no major cracks

I had taped up the outline of my upper hood release so that after I took it off I could put it right back in the exact same place. When I reinstalled the mechanisim, I then went to pull of the tape. Well, it also pulled off the paint under the tape. Bummed. So I found an outfit on the internet, Automotivetouchup.com that said it will custom mix a can of spray paint for me. However, I asked for single stage paint. The fellow there responded that he can only mix "basecoat." What is the difference? Will it appear different on the underside of the hood next to the original paint? Thanks. I know I will have to prep the area, primer, sand and then rub out the paint if…

Hello, I am new here but an old friend to Z cars. Great website with lot's of help - nothing like restoring during the late 70's early 80's- . Yesterday, I brought my 72 240 home from 23 years of commercial storage. Cripes I could have bought the building it stored in for the rent paid! Back then, I replaced every body panel but the roof, floors & frame rails,- the engine, tranny, brakes etc were aok when last shut off. But alas, the corrosion caught up to me making it undriveable. If I remember, it was all of 12k 1984 dollars. The front fenders and valence are fiberglass- whatever became of that company?? I thought they made a pretty good product. Can I replace th…

I took the rear bumper and the rubber...(what’s left of it) off my 76 280. The front shock absorbers come off easy but it looks like the rear shock absorbers are nearly impossible to take off with out removing a lot of other things. For those of you that have done this what all do you have to remove to take the rear absorbers out???

So yesterday we went paint shopping for a friends motorcycle and picked up some house of color candy red paint. We have a paint booth at our shop and shot the first few coats lastnight. I must say it has me thinking about a candy red Z It just looks so deep We will be putting a few more coats on today after some wetsanding. Then a few coats of clear. So far I am in love with the color and cant wait to see it with the clearcoat on. Sorry about the fuzzy photo's. I couldnt tell that was the case untill I had them loaded up on my computer at home. I will get some better pic's today. Started out black Then the silver basecoat After that was the candy red …
