I've been doing a bit of research on recip saws and came across a review of a (relatively) new product entry by Ingersoll-Rand. It's a cordless mini (0.55" stroke) targeted specifically for the auto body repair industry... One of its primary attractions is the ability to make relatively tight-radius curved cuts. It comes with a six 'extra-coarse' 4" blades (3 x 14 tpi + 3 x 18 tpi), rated for thick-ish sheet metal gauges, along with with two 12V Li-ion batteries and a charger stand. The blades may use a proprietary locking design (I've found conflicting reports on this) but, in any case, I-R offers a variety of replacement blade sets, including a 6-pack of 32…

Does anyone knows what size and type of round rubber seals go in these holes on the floor behind the seats? Who sells them?

Hi All, I took off the original rear louvers the other day and realized my rear glass trim is completely dried out and missing the metallic trim that goes in the seals. I did some looking around and can't seem to find the metallic trim for the 280z 2+2 rear hatch glass. I found some new old stock seals on ebay for the 2+2 but the trim is missing. I saw on vintagerubber.com that they have "Cal Style" seals that don't have the channels for the trim but they only work for the coupe. If I can get something similar for the 2+2 that would work even better. Any one know where I can get either the metalic trim with seal or just the seal with the channels for a 2+2?

I'm doing the last of the sanding on the primer of the 77/280 and will be starting paint within the next couple of weeks. The car is going back together completely stock and the original paint code is 305 Light Blue with a white interior which is okay I guess, but I really like code 307 Pacific Blue. If I was keeping the car I would go with 307 but like every project this car will be up for sale pretty soon after completion. So, do I go with the original colour 305 or go with what I think is a more popular and saleable colour 307? Or maybe I'm over thinking it. Original colour, or 307,

Hi everyone: I've searched but I can't find any size information for the (2) bolts on the bottom of the fender along the bottom edge of the rocker panel, just behind the front wheels. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Howdy Y'all, Been waiting on this job to get back to me, so I've been attacking the seat support / floor pan on my 260z. I got the seat supports repaired from the damaged sections, but want to approach the floor pan in the easiest manor. Here are some pictures. So on the floor pan itself there is a section thats near the rocker that has a radius curve upward, then a flat section (seen by the space between my index finger and thumb) Im thinking that this is going to be difficult to replicate on a flat piece of sheet metal. I plan to save that Charlie's Pan for my other Z, this car just needs the rear section of the pan. Now I understand that i…

Getting ready to install new door cards and mirrors on my 77 280z. Looks like I have to remove the door glass to fit the mirrors. I would like to just remove the glass but the FSM isn't overly clear as how to go about this. From what I can see there are four screws that hold the window to the mechanism. I'm hoping that I can remove the screws and lift the window out of the tracks, am I correct. If not, any assistance on how to remove just the window would be appreciated.
