Teardown and evaluation process continues on this project. I am a bit unclear on whether the front floor pans and front frame rails seen on some of the suppliers websites will fit on a 2+2 model. Front fenders seem to be the same, rocker panels and doors I believe are different, but not sure on the other body parts. Passenger seat mount is near perfect, driver side is a bit rusty, but front floor pans are definitely bad. Rear floor pans not nearly as bad but I have not seen those on any supplier catalog. Helpful advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, John-Lugoff, SC.

Does anyone know where to source this front valance for my 1971 240z? Were they made of fiberglass back then? or urethane? I'm interested in keeping it as classic looking as possible by avoiding the big motorsports lips....any help would be appreciated.

So on Friday I sent emails to about 7 car restorers and body shops in northeast New Jersey to get informations so I can choose a shop. These places ranged from auto body shops that do new cars and collision repair to antique car restorers that specialize in porsches and American midcentury stuff. So far everyone is refusing to give me an estimate, even ballpark, which I kind of understand but kind of don't I work in a field that is prone to scope creep and schedule slips due to unforeseen issues (digital experience design), so I get that people don't want to get locked into estimates that are wilding out of line, but I also know that once you've done similar proj…

Hey everyone, I just got done watching an episode on the development of the 240Z on the Moto-Man YouTube Channel, which includes an interview with the designer. One of the things in the video is the rear hatch strut shock absorber, and I noticed the one in the video seems to lift on its own (see the 14 minute mark) and I realized mine has never done that. The shock absorber does hold the hatch open, but I have to pull it up. Maybe I need a new one? MSA has them (http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02o03b01/30-8303) though they seem kind of expensive ($49). Has anyone tried these or other solutions? You can watch the video yourself, her…

Good evening, can anyone tell me what the pocket (notch) is for in the 240z floor pan in front of the seats along the rocker? I have seen this on most floor pan kits and a couple that don't have it. I have a series one and two. The both have the pocket, but I do not see what purpose it serves. Please let me know. Thanks, Scooter

Does anyone know where to locate parts for the 240z body kits for Zisizit of Nevada, any brochures or information. The company was in business from 1989 and 1990. They were located in Las Vegas Nevada. The body molds were sold to Dave at Arizona Z which he sold 15 years ago and does not know where they went from there. I'm specifically looking for the hood and leather door panels.
