my RUST FREE baby 1973 240Z

[carguyinok]

Well, after 8 years of looking I found A real rust free 240Z.

Now let the fun start.

I just put the motor back in a few days ago now and just orderd her A 8 point cage. Then out for paint.

I have had three vettes in the past and sold my last vette just to get the extra $$$$ to do this 240Z the way it should be done.

Now to pick A color.

my fav colors for cars: black and bright green

Why not just clearcoat the brushed steel bodywork? Give it that old aircraft look..?

Hey, if carguyinok just clear coats his '73 over bright metal he could designate it a P-40Z. All that's missing is a Merlin 12 cylinder engine and machine guns.

I saw a P-40 Mustang fly over last Sunday - big slow revving V-12 with a brutish supercharger whine...tasty! So... you could clearcoat it, fit the brownings(?), longrange droptanks, airscoop for the blower, variable pitch prop... Ahhh hang on, this it a car we're talking about... Just stick with the clear coat, I saw a XK140 Jag that had it done and it looked fantastic!

That sounds quite interesting actually.... pics?

[carguyinok]

I need color in my life. :devious:

Sorry folks but the P-40 known by many names but made famous in the USA (the colonies) by the flying Tigers in South East Asia had an Allison engine. The early P-51 Mustangs had the Allison but we in the colonies :classic: could not get the supercharger to work correctly the Brits came to the rescue :rambo: , the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was substituted and the rest is history. Yes you are correct the Rolls-Royce Merlin is a sweet sounding engine. Another item of note is that the Mustang was spec'ed by the Brits to replace the Spitfire.
