Howdy, My drivers door on my 1970 z is starting to be pain, and it seems to be getting worse ;-) I pull open the handle, and sometimes it opens!!! It always works from the inside. Before I tear off the door panel, thought I would get some ideas from you!!!! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, Bob

so after much searching, unless someone can prove me wrong, I don't see any companies making anything other than glass flares for our cars. I just wanted to gauge some interest on ZG flares made of either ABS plastic or urethane, they would be much more resistant to cracking and also would be easy to reshape w a heat gun. Throw up a price you might be willing to pay if I have a bunch of these made.

Hey guys, I'm currently stripping all the undercoating off of the undercarriage of my '78 and I'm finding areas of rust in the seams. Whats the best way to get at this corrosion. I'm digging out as much of the seam filler material as I can. I want to get to every last area of rust before I POR-15 and re-undercoat the the bottom of the car. All suggestions appreciated. Brent

Ok, here is a pic of the installed banner. Went with the "DATSUN" vs. the "240Z" logo. Took it to a local window tint place that charged me 30 bucks, (and I got what I paid for...). They didn't do that good a job and messed-up the tint between the S & T, so there's a defect. Not that bad, but enough to bug me. Still, it looks pretty good and I really like it! The strip is wider than the home-made, non-logo strip I put on my previous Z. While it's somewhat transparent, the lettering does cut down on vision in the top secton of the windshield.
