I am now the proud owner of a pre 73 front bumper but I need the mounting brackets. I have seen them and of course I think I could make some if I had the layout. Does any one have a drawing with dimensions that I could use. May be if I had a template on paper that I could use to get the bends right I could mark and drill the holes. The width of the bar i use will be dictated by the bumpers attachment point. Glen

Does anyone have any thoughts on what window visor / Vent shade might fit on a 1975 280Z? I have tried many search combinations in google , amazon, eBay . Nothing comes up other than "sorry we have no specific recommendations for your application at this time". I am lead to beleive that nobody has ever needed to drive their Z in the rain that was either not equipped with A/C or it wasn't working.

Can anyone tell me if the door window frames are stainless steel or chrome? The magnet test was inconclusive as some of the lower grades of SS are still magnetic. My window frames are badly scuffed and scratched in places and if they are chrome then I'll just let the chromers deal with it but if SS then I can start some heavy buffing. Thanks, Chris

First post new member today. I,m sure this has been asked before. I'm restoring a 75 280z and have some areas that have to go to bare metal ( some rust, some rust through). Most of the body is in pretty good shape so just needs sanding. I'll probably go with the original orange for the final color . Do I used epoxy or regular primer?

The very first car I ever owned was a gift from my parents...A 1972 240z ; White w Red and had Auto and AC. I have just acquired a 1972 with 78,000 mi from the original owner...it has Red interior with Auto and AC but is Silver Grey original paint. My feeling is I would love to paint it White to sort of have my first car. Good or bad idea ? Am I destroying the value ?
