   Is there supposed to be a hole here?

   Anybody know if the 73' 240Z is supposed to have a hole in the rear quarter panel in the center of the bumper indentation? The bumper indentations were Bondoed over on my car and after 30 seconds with a screw driver I was left with this. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/big_daddy_nismo_4x4/detail?.dir=/df68&.dnm=adf3scd.jpg Both left and right sides are the same. I am guessing that the 73' bumper has an attachment point there?

   Request for Product Reviews - Body Rubber

   I'm about to start reassembly of my early 77Z and I need to purchase all the body rubber and seals. The list includes windshield, rear glass, quarter windows, door windows, doors, rear hatch, hood, and fenders ( inner and outer ) - literally every rubber seal and bumper for the body. Now, I know that there are probably others that I don't know about, but I do know that MSA, British Victoria, and Courtesy all have various OEM and after market parts. So, I am interested in hearing reviews from those who have actually used parts from those suppliers, and other suppliers as well, to include durability, quality, fit, and cost. It would be nice to see reviews on the complete k…

    I am preping my 77Z for a new paint job and in the process of sanding I have cut through the original paint and exposed bare metal in some places. What should I do to protect the bare metal from rusting. It will go to the paint shop in about a month for a Base Coat/ Clear Coat paint job. It is stored inside my garage. Thanks

    Has anyone used a product called Zoop that is a final top coat/sealant for mag/al wheels? I've seen it advertized in Grout's and Eastwood for about $140. Before I spent that much I'd like to hear from someone with real life experience using the product.

    Rust Mortal - Is it any good?

    February 18, 2006 by Trudge

    I found another "Rust Neutralizer" called "Rust Mortar" from SEM. It netralizes rust and leaves a Zinc Oxide type finish. Similar to Metal Ready from POR15. It has the same active ingedients as Metal Ready. It is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased from you local SEM dealer. However, I am not sure how good it is since I have not heard of anyone else using the product. I am planning to liberally spray it into unreachable areas such as the door sill, inside the lower fender wells, inside bottom of the doors, and the cowl area. It seems to do a good job neutralizing surface rust and is supposed to prevent rust. Anyone have any experience with this product?
