My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

I have that same box, plus two others, in that same sale at Christmas. Another reason to love my wife! I've just gone through your whole resto- great work - I am about 10% on the way to where you are headed, and doing it much worse...

I let her see some sunshine today. Took her to RallyeSport here in Denver to get the carbs properly tuned for the elevation. He's also going to dyno it so I will have some wheel hp numbers. Next stop is the body shop to have the hood and fenders installed and aligned.

My son got one of those tool cabinets for his clothes. He likes the industrial look for his dresser...

Cheaper than most dressers!

Its been awhile since I was back on the club site, had lots of other stuff(not good stuff) and got involved in wood turning to raise money for cancer treatment for my oldest son. Haz you're doing a great job, if you ever bring her up to Pikes Peak give me shout, Id love to see her in person and maybe enjoy a ride up to Cripple Creek, we'd turn some heads for sure.

Sorry to hear about your son, Mike. I f'n hate cancer. I will definitely be making it up to Pikes Peak soon, I will let you know.

Well, since there was no seats in the car he didnt want to put it on the dyno. So he timed it and synced the carbs as close as he could. It sounds a whole lot better. Its at the body shop now getting the fenders and hood installed. In the mean time I ordered my seat covers from MSA and will be working on those while the car is gone.

Hi HaZmatt,

I've got a 78' 280Z that I've starting striping down to do what you've done. This thread is my guidebook on how to do it right. You've done an amazing job.

 

Cheers,

Matt,

Quick question, what type of sheet metal are you using and where did you source it from?

 

Thanks,

Jason
