I recently purchased a set of factory six spoke aluminum wheels (14X6) off a 280ZX, which I’m going to mount on my ’72 Z. The plan is to replace all current rubber bushing with urethane ones and install a set of Tokico struts and spring as well. What is largest tire size that I will be able to mount on these wheels without worrying about anything rubbing? I’m hoping to go with 60 series rubber like 195/60s or even 205/60s. Am I about in the right ballpark given the wheels and suspension setup? Thanks! :nervous:
I had pretty good success repairing a hairline crack on my ’73 console by using Testors contour putty I purchased at a hobby store. I applied it using an applicator I cut out of a plastic coffee can lid. I wiped off any excess while still fresh with a damp paper towel. Once dry, I finished it off with a coat of semi-gloss model paint. You’d have to be looking for the crack to notice it.:sleepy:
The vehicle was recently purchased in Kansas, and shipped to California. It is rust-free with 41,000 original miles. No cracks in the dash and the clock still works! Full restoration will have to wait for completing my last 2 years of college, home renovation and paying off some bills.
Oh well, someday…
A question for the CCZCC folks: I’m in the process of purchasing a ’72 240Z and would like some recommendations for a good body and paint shop in the SB or SLO county area. I found a car with no rust, low miles, but a lot of door dings. Thanks!
