December 1, 20177 yr Author comment_536378 Not a lot to report lately. I have been working on a lot of small part refurbishment and powder coating. Which means a lot of sandblasting and detailing... I did find a set of Interlouver louvers on eBay that I ordered. Used and partly stripped with missing hardware, but alas, beggars can't be choosers. @zKars has already hooked me up last year with the trim mounting hardware so hopefully I can make a functional set out of these. Not sure how they will look in the end, but I am very nostalgic towards having these on the car. This is how I remember seeing my first 280 back in high school!  Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=138#findComment-536378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 1, 20177 yr comment_536384 My 77 had them when I bought it back in '85. I like the look of the louvers on the stock or very lightly modified exterior.

December 1, 20177 yr Author comment_536385 This is my second set now. The first are the ones that drill into the hatch. Those are not going back on .

December 1, 20177 yr comment_536386 Hell, I wish I still had some of the parts I got rid of. Like the stock hood . It was a phase I went through. Wanted my Z to look different from everyone else's. Now I can't find a hood descent enough to put back on my car. Or if I find one it's located on another planet. Oh well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=138#findComment-536386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 1, 20177 yr comment_536390 I like the louvers. I know some don't but they make the car much cooler when it gets hot outside...although in the Great White North, that may not be an issue Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=138#findComment-536390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 2, 20177 yr comment_536424 Mark, are those mounting pieces sliding under the rubber seal, like between the glass and the rubber then clamping on to the rubber?
