   My parts catalog and the online factory parts listing don't have the bolts, nuts, washers or anything else to connect the front apron to the lower fender panel. Does anyone have the part numbers needed?

   Replacement Frame Rails

   Anyone got good recommendations for frame rails for a 240Z? I'd like some heavy duty ones that just fit over the existing rails to add strength and rigidity to the car. I know of only one place to get them off hand and that's Bad Dog Parts. Anyone have experience with their rails? Anyone have a better suggestion (i.e. superior product, cheaper price, etc)?

   MSA Weatherstrip kit out of stock till 2011 1 2

   I called MSA today for a weatherstrip kit and was told they have been out since early this year and won't have any until early next year. Precision (the company that makes them) damaged the molds and cannot produce them right now. I have heard that the Black Dragon kit is not quite as good so I am reluctant to purchase it. Any other suggestions for vendors that will be equal in quality, fit and comparable in price? TIA, John

   Ok my z is tore done and I have been working on all the rust and just noticed I am missing something. Under my passenger fender I am missing the part that separates the fender from the door jamb. Not just the small rubber mudflap looking piece but the metal piece with seal that said piece hangs from. Did a quick check on blackdragon and store and don't see the part for sale. Anyone know the name of the part? Need to source one but hate asking for parts that I don't know the name of...thanks in advance

   Hood Closing Alignment 1 2

   Hi All. I notice that the hood on my 76 Z does NOT close without having to pull back the hood latch on the hood. I have tried loosening the bolts that hold the hood to the hinge..and pushing the hood toward the cabin. Does not seem to help. In fact, it starts changing the fit and finish of the hood to the fenders. I also tried adjusting the latch and keep...but remains off enough to still be a minor issue. The pull release in the cabin seems to work fine. The hood pops up, then I pull on the latch to release the hood. Just coming back down...it hits the point of the latch on the latch-keep. This appears to be the original hood to the car...and it has not been in …

   Hello, I am new to the forum. I am 27 and my pops and I are working on a few Z's. He owns them all, but I do all the paint and mods and help with everything else. He has a 71 240z that he just purchased yesterday. I saw the car in someones yard 14 years ago and we have been trying to buy it ever since. It has been parked since 79 and still has the 79 inspection sticker. Oddly enough, as we found the title in the glove box..... The last owner purchased the car 3/22/74. We git it 3/22/74 33 years later to the day and 14 years since we started trying (although not to the day) It is almost perfect with 70k original miles. Practically untouched. His other car is a 72 lime gr…

    My driver side rocker panel is badly dented. Looks like the car was driven over a tree stump. How hard is it to replace the rocker panel. I think the damage is too much to fix. I need to replace the dog leg..
