Correct Color Of Tailight Panel Nd Grill?

[hls30.com]

The NOS hubcaps I checked with were "D" type.

Jim, I don't know what to tell you, but some time next week I am going to take all three pieces and a later hubcap to the PPG store here and get them read by their machine-all are new old stock and have been in the box since first packaged by Nissan. If the Prophet II spectrometer at PPG is convinced they are all the same color, I am too. Maybe this is an example of Nissan using what was available when what was called for was not?

Hey Gary, I haven't updated pics in years. Our local club memebers have been on me about that. Here is the link to my page from our club's website which shows a few of the cars.

I'll try to get some posted especially Vin # 52 which is now under full restoration and is in the reassembly phase.

Jim, hello.

After reading this post, I immediately clicked on you user name, and then the photo gallery link...and was disappointed to see no photos of these incredible early Z's. Will you consider posting some photos? It would be a treat for all of us!

This could be true. I'd love to hear what you find out.

Here you go, Burt. This is a crop and enlargement of the 1970 dealer brochure showing a match in color. I am in negotiations to buy the original art work for this brochure. I remember using this information during a conversation about the color of distributor caps. Makes it kind of hard to argue the different color thing. BTW, Burt, if you aren't Burt, prove it. Lets see a picture of your car Burt. I thought you were kicked off this site and I will thank you to not send me nasty PMs in disguise as your crack.

Thanks for the picture. I have seen that brochure on Ebay a few times in the last 6 months I think. Unfortunately it doesn't help the cause very much because of the angle and the clarity.

As for the other comments you made for the sake of this forum I am no longer going to respond to this stuff you are saying because I have no idea what in the world you are talking about and s far as I'm concerned I didn't find this we site to have to prove myself to you.

I'm sorry to everyone else for my comments but I think enough is enough with whoever this guy is making them and this is becoming less and less enjoyable.

Hi Chris:

Is the original artwork - something other than the original photo's taken/used? I thought I was receiving the original negatives from the photog. Has something/someone else turned up?

BTW, Burt, if you aren't Burt, prove it. Lets see a picture of your car Burt. I thought you were kicked off this site and I will thank you to not send me nasty PMs in disguise as your crack.

See the car? If he's here in Florida - why not simply list Name, address and phone number... like many of the rest of us have.

FWIW,

As long as this Mckrack who is supected of being Burt or Bert behaves himself, maybe it would be best to leave well enough alone. I don't know why this Burt or Bert is banned but I am sure he earned it. Just my 2 cents worth, I like to come in here for information on my favorite cars, snipping at each other is not always fun to read.

Hey Steve,

Please read my last post. I am not going to prove anything to someone who I think is some sort of stalker. As for Carl Beck I have used his web site for valuable information. I have heard he's knowledgable. I don't know him, have never met him and I have no idea what he has to do with this.

You know if you folks want me to move on and not use this site then just ask. If not I would appreciate you asking this lubatic 26 why he continues to stalk me.

This is the last time I can remark on this. I would prefer to use the site to help with topics of inyterest.

If the moderator wants to chime in I would appreciate it. I am not the problem here and I don't know why I am being picked on.

I don't think I will ever get to the 300 point gold medallion however the closest color to correct is Arne's panel

. Why are you asking these types of questions in a public forum. Why not ask the judges themselves and be done with it. They will make the final decision one way or the other.

I am absolutely positive that the rear panel and grill are the same color a medium to lighter gray in a fuzzy texture. It's interesting the grill on my Land Rover Sport is almost the exact color of what it's suppose to be so I think I'm gonna go with that minus all the mettalic.

So, if you are going to change the color any way who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since those of us whom have owned these cars since new don't know who will in your opinion.

There is no need to go any further with this thread as you have already made up your mind so stay with it makes no difference to me.

PS bought my car from Carl Beck

I'm not changing the color just trying to get it right. So why not ask here? Isn't this the place to ask questions like this. What a bout Mr. Frederick do you think he knows. Do you know that guy.

[Mckrack]

No problem it's better if we just enjoy our hobby Stepehen that's what it's about anyway. I'll get it as close as I can. With all the time and effort and money I have spent I just don't want it to be too off.

Hi Guys,

Here's a link for a 38,000 mile series one 240z Car on Ebay. It was brought to my attention that maybe one of the reasons the right side of the rear panel is lighter on this car just as it it is I think on Anes car or someone else who posted a response on the paint colors is maybe because the exhaust fumes overtime on the drivers side of the car darkened up the panel.

The car is nice I think if you like Automatics. Afew things that need to be attended to. 50 cent size chip on door that would be real hard to fix without refinishing the door and then you would have to get some acrylic enamel paint unless someone can do the job and get it to match with a base coat clear coat which is almost impossible. But all in all probably worth the money.
