I am putting a small-block Chevy in my 72 240, I also read that heat build-up under the hood could be a problem, so Ihad planned to put hood vents from a 260 on the 240 hood. Before I hack-up the good 240 hood, I wonder if a 260 hood would fit on a 240???? Figure someone has tried, any luck??:bandit:

Has any one put 280zx electric mirrors on a early z. Does anyone know or think they will fit onto the body flush? Do you think they will require fabrication? I think I can wire them and put swicthes on my center cousole, but I wonder how well they fit. I forgot what they look like on the mounting side. Has anyone seen it done?

I'm a HS student considering to buy 240-280z. A big problem that seems to keep popping up is the rust problem(s). In a pretty bad situation, how much would it be to fix that?.. or, can you do it yourself in any way? Thanks.

I was working on getting my diff. out this weekend so I kept looking at the back of the car. I thought to myself it would look a lot better if the bumper was left off and the mounts patched up. Does anybody have any pics of this and/or the front bumper removed?

Just bought this set of sexy mirrors for the Z. Can't wait to get them on but they are not on my priority list. Need to get the car on the road first. What other mirrors, other than stock, do you guys think suit the 240/260? Cheers

I have a '72 240z which needs paint and minor body work. The question I have is concerning Bondo and the effects it has on the value of the car. I understand large areas of Bondo are not good, but is it acceptable to use Bondo on door dings approx. sizes ranging from 1/16" to 1/2" in diameter? The other question I have is: Does anybody know of a trustworthy automotive shop/mechanic in the Houston, TX area that can "refresh" the engine and auto transmission? Any info would be great! Thanks, Bill

http://zdriver.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4857 Personally I find it very hard to believe it does wonders, I'm wondering if anyone has heard seen or experienced what this does? I personally have used McGuires car polish then Canauba wax over the top of that. I do it all by hand as a orbital polisher I find leaves alot of swirl marks. Anyone got a product to share or tips to make your paint look stunning. I find my red car lots of hard work to keep shiny.

Ok, looking for some thoughts. I'm going to be doing at least some of the floor pans and frame on my 240Z. (see http://www.csar.uiuc.edu/~mdbrandy/240Z/240ZRust.htm for some of the worst of the rust). I've been talking with Charlie Osborne and will be getting some stuff from Zedd Findings to do the worst of it. So, I'm going to do as much of the teardown as I can, and get a pro to do the welding, since I've never welded before. My question is, how much of the floors can I safely remove myself (if any) before having it towed to a shop? I have plenty of air and power tools to cut about anything I want. If I removed pretty much the entire drivers side floor pan before…

Are the brackets that attach the front bumper on a 240Z straight or curved. When I bought my 71 it had been in an accident of some kind and the front bumper was missing. I assumed that the bumper brackets were bent in the collision, but now I see the following for sale on Ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2413188378&category=33640 and those look just like the ones that I have... except that mine are rusty of course... I do live in Indiana. Are they supposed to be that shape?
