Anyone want new door cores made out of fiberglass for the vinyl kits?

[conedodger]

I got mine last week from Pete they look great. he dose nice work. mine have the speaker pods. i know not what you guys like but my son wants this car to thump???? i will get some pics up soon.

It's all about individual expression Kacrow76... If that's what your son wants, that's what he should do. A friend and I are working on a sub-box that fits in the spare tire well... Fiberglass with a wood top. We will be making more than one if he's interested... It isn't that I am a concours weenie. I like the car to look substantially stock but have some really cool undertone. I think what Pete did with that speaker pod is great!

you might send me a pic when you get it. my hope is to put a spare tire in there. not sure where we are going to put the two 12" yet.

Very satisfying when a project turns out this well and is completed. Just finished 'dressing' the passenger door.

Oh Ya! That IS Mr. K's autograph on my glove box door...

I hear that the door panels on the 280Z are slightly longer? Did you tell Pete what year car when you ordered? His brother is handling things while he is recovering. It could be he doesn't know that...

Be careful. There are at least 3 types of 280Z door panels. One fits the 260Z and 75 & 76 280Z. The other is for the 77 & 78 280Z. I do not know if there was any differentiation in the 2+2 door panels for the various years, though a little research of the parts manual could clear that up.

Anyway, if I can remember, I'll compare the door panels when I get home.

Mine came to me as blanks. They were appropriately dimensioned for the 240Z door but there were no holes at all. I mounted them up and made all the holes myself.

just found out that i have to go elec. bummer more money anyone have any tip?

[kacrow76]

Looking at the autolock kit summit sells. or the spal kit . MSA sells a kit also not sure of the brand.

I checked my spare 260Z/280Z (74-76) door panels against the 73 door panels. The window cranks are in the same position and the dimensions look about the same. Why do you think you need electric motors for your windows?

Added: If you REALLY want an electric window kit, you can find them on Amazon and many other sites.
