Bad A$$ 72' 240 Drag Car

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I am new to the sight. I am giving my Z a facelift. I am a lifelong fan/participant of drag racing and I bought my Z as a cheap way to go fast. After owning a particular kind of vehicle, you take more notice when you see others like it. I havent seen many Z car drag applications where they didn't go crazy with huge rear tires or sheetmetal dashes...so my goal is to represent the Z car in the Drag community with a stock looking interior appearance and super nice exterior in the areas that are possible to do so. I wanted to share my progress

Practicing for the launches? :-D

Don't mind blake, he's always really, really, really, really hostile to all the newbies to the site. It's a good thing we took away his police baton.

That is a great looking car.

Not true at all, at least not with that many 'reallys', but my response might have also been a bit caffinated....:)

Darrel,

Haaa Yes I hope it doesnt leave like that!! I am changing the gear from what it was with the old combination. It used to leave about half that high and that was plenty enough.... Thanks for checking it out. I am glad you like the car so far. Blake's cool I am just a smart a$$ so I was picking back at him. Didnt mean to come across hostile.

it's all cool, my dry sense of humor doesn't come across well when typed. Just giving blake a hard time. ;-)

Yes! I am misunderstood in person frequently let alone in typed communication LOL. Where?? can I find a High quality pair of Tail lights? Looking for the whole assembly. Everyone I talk to gives me the run around.

classifieds or you could try and restore the old ones yourself. I am sure there is a thread about that here.

I know you can get the lenses and the gaskets. The mistery is the center trim strip. How do they Chrome Plastic? I know it can be done...look at the various toys that have plastic that has been chromed. hmmmmm? If I knew the cost assiocated with reconditioning that strip, I could decide whether to just pull the trigger on some high dollars ones or refurb my own..
