so ive been workin on my 76 280 for awhile now and i have finally gotten around to the floors and i started cutting them out.... little did i know the damn fuel lines were underneath them ... so hear i am cutting away and i notice that it was gettin rather difficult to cut... look underneath and realize i just cut through the fuel send and return lines... just another thing to add to the list... anyone know the size of the fuel lines in the 280z? i suppose if im replacing one, why not do them all! Ontop of it all i went out and bought all new brakes for my Z and i went to look for the wheel lock socket and its gone missing.... it seems to always be the small set backs that make these projects take forever... Anyways ill have some recent pics added to my profile soon if any of u are interested.. right now im doing body work and partial pre-assembly before painting to make sure everything lines up properly.

, little things like that are always such a kick in the pants when youre trying to tackle bigger, more important problems. Good luck and dont forget to post some pics of your progress!

Yes, the $2 part that takes three weeks to get, that you need and have to wait for because you were wearing blinders to get the job done that allowed you to miss the fact that you put the $2 part on the saddle of the floor jack that is now holding the car up so that you can replace the $2 part that you found when you put the car back on the ground, after waiting three weeks for the $2 part, is the stuf a three year restoration is made of...not that one of these small setbacks has ever happened to me...

WIll

I was into restoring motorcycles for awhile and ill tell yah... everytime u split the crank cases ur bound to screw SOMETHING up and have to crack em apart again... this takes on another 30minutes to the job and by no means is it fun...
