I brought my red 240Z back home this afternoon, following the successful re-skinning of the roof to eliminate the sunroof. Here are some before and after pictures. I don't have pictures of the process itself just yet, we couldn't get his camera to download to my laptop (bad USB cable, I think), so I'll have to wait for him to e-mail them to me before I can post them. Soon, I hope.

Looks great! Looks like a guidecoat of primer on those pics? Whatever it is, it gives an unfair wavy appearance on the pics...I'm sure it's nice and smooth. Looking forward to seeing final paint!

Yeah, guidecoat. The real surface is near perfect.

very nice job!

once you get some paint on there no one would ever know that it had a hole in the top.

now it's time to graft the sun roof skin onto the yellow Z haha. jk of course

I wish I had a set of those slotted mags for my Z

How much did it cost for the labor etc. and how long did it take????

thanks,

Carl B.

Congrats on a successful operation, glad to hear (and see) the patient is doing well! I'll look forward to seeing the pics of the surgery in progress! :classic:

Looking good! Can't wait to see the finished product.

........now it's time to graft the sun roof skin onto the yellow Z haha.........

Nah, the yellow Z is now a Z roadster candidate.:classic:

Hey Arne,

Looks like the plan is coming together. Really looks great. Just a thought. Maybe thats an easier way for me to get the headline glue off for that new headliner

very nice, I prefer the Z's without the sunroofs

Very nice Arne! The new paint itch is going to get more intense now. Did your metal man give you an idea of the level of difficulty or any problems doing this transplant? Before you reinstall the headliner, it would be the perfect time to research a good spray on stiffiner to apply to the underside.
