Starting floor pan repair (pretty good sized areas) and frame rail repair directly under possibly this holiday weekend. Should the car be blocked up in the middle or something while the material is removed and welded back in? Could the car 'sag' in the middle while this area is out? Flip side: When the new material is going back in, would it be possible to jack the car up in the middle and build a bit of 'pre-load' arch into the frame? Like truck trailers and laminated beams. Ignorant, inquiring minds want to know! steve77

Hello all, just purchased a '71 240Z in good shape save for one thing. This: Another view: This spot is located in the vicinity of the red circle: Can anyone provide some insight into the seriousness of this encounter with a foreign object? It does not look like the rust has spread too far, but my opinion is definitely not an experienced one. Thanks again for your help. Ryan

Hello ClassicZ forum members, My name is Matt, new here, just turned 16 and just got this black 72' 240Z for $3000. The previous owner worked at a body shop and just painted the outside of the car and looks gorgeous(sucking me in to buy it because it looked so nice outside), but the interior after looking under soaking floor mats(floor pan rust of course) is lime green:( I want to match the color of the outside of the car or just get rid of the lime green altogether. Ive started striping the car totally.This is my first project car and right now Im focused on just getting the rust out and cleaning it Today I took out the seats, carpet, body panels, etc. I was wondering …

How is the chrome window frame attached to the door On the passenger side of my car, the top, front of the frame (where it bends from veritcal to horizonal) is too close to the roof gutter and the weather strip pulls out when closing it. I can shut the door and then push the top corner of the window frame in, and it fits great. its just about 1/8 too high at the front edge. The rest of the door gaping looks ok, so I don't think the door is out ot whack. It appears that the chrome frame may be held on by several bolts/screws in the front and back. Can it be adjusted?I would just take them out to see, except I've done things like that too many times and caused myself unto…

I keep seeing pictures of Z cars on this site with elongated noses and the radiator under the front bumper. Sometimes they have rear view mirrors mounted on the fenders and sometime they don't. What kind of Z cars are these? They look pretty cool but I've never actually seen one in person. Were they sold in the USA?

Referring to the stuff at z car creations . Looking at the prospect of drilling out a number of rusted/broken body screws, I'm considering using stainless for the non-mechanical (i.e., not suspension or internal engine) portions of the car, especially body panel stuff. Problem: while z car creations has apparently gone to a lot of trouble to match the bolt threads and lengths (which they really have to), the bolt heads are not the same size as stock. They are still metric, but the guy says that the are usually "one or two sizes larger than stock". Given that I won't ever get to a 100 percent stock car (the car has headers, and I'll probably keep that and I intend to u…
