   Can anyone tell me if body parts from a 1969 240 are the same as the 70 -72 240? I'm especially interested in any bumper info. Thanks!

   I have looked at a ton of pictures but have not seen any emblems on the left hand side of the rear hatch. My car has a 12 year old paint job but the emblems were never put back on (and some are missing). The holes look identical to the right side. I attached a picture maybe someone knows..? Thanks

   ok on my z i have a problem. over the years and of some obvious neglect. a rust spot has develpoed at the point where the windshield meets the roof of the car. and well i was in some rain recently and i noticed that it is leaking. so the question is should i replace the whole roof or find someone that is really good with sheetmetal work. my first choice is to find someone that is good with sheet metal. but than the question is how much is this going to cost me??? so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Jason

   Hood to Windshield Valance LHD V RHD?

   Would it be correct to say that the valance, hood to windshield, for a LHD and RHD are the same or are the holes shifted for the wipers for the RHD. Thanks

   I am getting ready to paint my z and I had a couple of dumb questions. I am going to take the windshield and hatch glass out and I was wondering if there was a trick or easy way to do this so I don't break them. Also do you have to drop the gas tank to get the rear bumper off? Any help on this is appreciated!! Thanks, Mark

    Front Valance

    Hey guys, my front valance is pretty banged up from the previous owner. Before I even got the car, I was planning on putting on an aftermarket front, so I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for the front. Are there any air dams out there that don't need to be attached to the front valance? Any kits other than the ones MSA has? Thanks for your time guys, this board rocks. Chris

    Ok so im still looking for the right colour, ive thought about canary yellow to metallic orange to gold to green to silver etc.... but now im realling giving blue a go, i work for a company that makes bodykits for fords so i get to see alot of finished parts with all the different colours, the colour thats really caught my eye is the ford blueprint... its one fine colour from a distance to up close. So now i want some opinions good or bad about the colour and if its suitable for a zed (260z) i really wanted to play around with the blue so i photoshopped a pic of a zed,played around with it and came up with this.....

    Ok, so now I've got the left rocker off (mostly). Drilled out the spot welds, and it wasn't too hard. I haven't, however, removed the part of the rocker that goes under the rear quarter dogleg. I cut it off with an abrasive cutoff wheel as neatly as I could. General picture attached. My question deals with the picture attached to the next post...
