Why don't you just ride shotgun with someone else? No sense in injuring the Z.

Can you try to type proper english? Why consistently waste our time with these questions just to get a rise out of people here? Ask about adding wings next time.

I think welding it to the hood and underside would be the best way to do it. Z's are famous for their reliability so you shouldn't need to open the hood for a really long time. Believe it or not but the Z hood is one of the strongest hoods ever made and should be quite capable of handling any load you might put on it. As far as paint goes a good exterior latex house paint because the outside of your house is always outside so that paint is really good for outside stuff. Home Depot has lots of it and can mix any color you'd like.

Or maybe not.

my buddy said i wont need a brush bar after all because the bumper on the 280 zed is long enough to work as one

Obviously your buddy knows best, so run with his opinion!

Well, you could start with something like this, but why stop there?

Maybe you should find yourself an old datsun 4x4 truck, yank out all the guts from it and throw them in/on your Z? Slap on some mud tires and off you go!

Or better than that, just get yourself an old datsun 4x4 truck and use it...

well maybe il just by urs since it alreaty has the bar on it

Glliw - is that your 69 Cougar or your neighbor's? Has the Eliminator rear wing - is it an Eliminator?

just wondering...

If it were me I would take the bumper off and bolt on a brush guard from a police car or even on from a ford ranger. Then go and get some paint from Wally world and paint the hell out of it. Make sure you get the special cold weather paint cause its fix-in to get real cold there in minnesota. You might want to look into a winch for the brush guard just in case you have to pull a big'n up a hill or something.
