March 16, 20178 yr comment_515517 Sorry.. Mark. Mine is (And this is europe..) 22.5 Cm. Yours is 14,5 Cm. Between edge and lock. For the cards, back is in very good condition, as the front is.. only the chrome is peeling a bit... these cards can bring a 100 euro per card. complete. Some dents are on it were the handles come.. not damaged.

March 16, 20178 yr Author comment_515525 Ok I kind of figured they would be the same door cards as North American 280's made after 8/76. They would just use the same door parts as the rest of the assembly line. Your doors probably didn't have the heavy reinforcement bars though. Thanks anyways! I'll keep looking...

March 21, 20178 yr Author comment_516009 Last few nights in the shop have been spent cleaning and prepping for the primer coat. Picked up my supplies today. I will be using the Valspar DTM 2000 series of primer in medium gray. My body shop supplier convinced me it was the best product and replaces the older epoxy primer. It works as a direct to metal primer as well as sealer in a reduced version. Looking forward to seeing how it goes on!

March 21, 20178 yr comment_516019 @wheee! Download the p-sheets. It is a hybrid material. No isocynates so it should be a little safer. Be sure you have the correct reducer and don't shoot onto surfaces colder than 50 F Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=97#findComment-516019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a one-night fling. It's over, really.
