Differences in Replacement Sheet Metal

Featured Replies

I am looking to purchase some replacement sheet metal for my 1970 240Z and was wondering if all the metal out there is manufactured by Tabco and sold by various retailers like Motorsport/The Z Store?

If not, what have you found to be the best quality replacement pieces?

 

Thanks!

Which pieces? Some are available from smaller manufacturers like Zedd Findings. All of them require massaging to fit your specific car. A good set of body work hammers and dollies is always your best friend.

Floors, dog legs and upper panel that lays flat where the hatch closes on top of.

Floors: Zedd Findings (best product) but the 280Z pans are not correct for the driver side.

Dog leg and hatch patch panel: Tabco but they will need some work to fit.

I should have said this is for a 1970 240Z. Does the Zedd and Tabco work for that?

You will have no problem with the Zedd Findings floor pans for the 240. The Tabco panels are always a bit of a hit or miss. They will work though.
