Are the Texas people on here still active?

That was my back up plan but I figured I’d give someone on here first shot at them.

Would anyone want to buy these door panels?

Thanks for the advice. This isn't my first Datsun I have had 4 280zx's so far. This is my 5th z car, but first Z car. I have had a lot of ups and downs with the previous ones and learned some of these lessons along the way. My drive behind this Z is I just think they are awesome cars and I wanted to own a Z since my first zx. I did a lot of modifying and body work on that one until I sold it. Then the rest of them never felt the same. I would find rust or something else to discourage me. But this being a Z makes it different. The end purpose of this car is to just have something I enjoy driving whenever I decide to drive it. It will be a weekend cruiser with Im sure some shows and track days in there. It will not be a garage or trailer queen at any point. I just love these cars and want a Z that fits what I think a Z should be. Again I appreciate the previous advice and all the future advice I will be getting. I do try to bag and document everything when I am messing with it so I know where it goes, but I am sure that at some point I will mess that up too.

Maybe I should just change this to my build thread if those are allowed on this site.

Currently I been thinking of going with more of a bare exterior. No funky wide body or anything major, at most bumper deletes, a from air dam and flares. Well of course wheels and mild suspension mods too. As far as the interior I have been thinking about selling most of the interior pieces to make way for the skillard pieces and a small roll bar behind the seats. Just give it a real "period" correct track car feel but keep it streetable as much as possible. Below are all the pics I share on H.Z. Any feedback or input is appreciated. If anyone is interested in the interior parts let me know maybe we can work out a deal. Or any parts for that matter. THIS IS NOT A PART OUT THREAD, but if I don't need/want it and someone else does then why not. And yes I think the blue front air dam will go as well for maybe more of a bumperless stock look.

This is a total newb question and I am anticipating a lot of smart arse remarks honestly. However I am new to the z car itself. I picked my '78 up about 6 months ago and am in the process of deciding what route I want to go with it. I will definitely be keeping ac in it because I live in Texas. My question however what pics and information do any of you have on period race inspired builds on these cars? I want to keep with the l-series motor and I have a cam and dual car setup I am going to run, so I am mostly looking for the interior and body styling.
