Floor plans are not cost prohibitive. It seems to make sense to just buy them versus the amount of time it would take to make substitutes

Mint '71 240Z - More Fun Coming to BaT
It's a double edged sword! It's great if you're ready to cash out. Not so great if you want to drive them and enjoy them. Harder to insure and you have to start thinking like a Ferrari owner. Is it safe, is someone going to vandalize it or hit it in the parking lot. I sort of miss the "it's a cheap car" thing. It made it very low stress to "drive it like you stole it" and to park it anywhere. The flip side of rising prices is the availability of new reproduction parts that wouldn't exist if the cars didn't have the underlying value

Mint '71 240Z - More Fun Coming to BaT
Yes, but it's not an R. A nice rare car but still a 240z. Didn't take as long as I thought it would to get to six figure cars. I think before too long you will see less rare cars appreciate towards this level.

Bodywork Issues
Yes, you can remove the shims under the hinges. which will move it forward, but you have to be very careful the hatch lip doesn't contact the roof! It will remove the paint really quickly if it does. The hatch looks like it might still be a touch lower than the roof which will add to potential interference

It looks really good! Was all the sectioning of the rear bumper done with a plastic welder?

Alternate grills
I was looking at a couple of grills for my 240z project. One is the Skillard grill that fills the whole front end. especially when running an air dam. The other is a similar grill I found on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-Billet-Aluminum-Grille-2-Taller-Then-Stock-Grille/192931904057?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I was wondering if anyone has tried either of the grills? Any comments on fit or appearance? Are the bars similar in size to the factory grill? Thanks, C

Bodywork Issues
A guess on the hatch roof line is the hatch bracket is bent or the weld is cracked I have to stretch my tail light finishers just a little to go over the slam panel
