June 1, 201113 yr comment_357444 What do you mean when you say frame? 280z's are unibody cars and there is no seperate frame. The suspension,engine, etc is all hung off of the body. Can you be more specific?Charles Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39752-frame-help/#findComment-357444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 1, 201113 yr comment_357459 Pictures would help, but as mentioned earlier there is no "frame" to replace. There are "frame rails" that extend under the engine compartment which is the link that SteveJ posted I assume.

June 1, 201113 yr comment_357515 Word of advice, this is no easy task. I just did it on my car, about 25 hours of labor in total. - Frame rails completely cut out - Floors cut out - Frame rails replaced - Floors replaced - POR 15 everything - Ran permatex RTV sealant accross all seams - Followed that up with Fiberglass infused roof tar (this stuff dries rock hard) It is ALOT of welding, we used about 3lbs of mig wire Here's a couple pictures so you understand whats ahead of you (aligning frame rails in this pic) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39752-frame-help/#findComment-357515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
