Spoiler came in today 

from BRE .

super fast shipping! Great service 

the finish will require a bit of rework due to some scratches and gouges in the surface but overall it I pretty darn nice!

Unfortunately, I have been sidetracked on this project. I was dumb yet again and started a big project when I am in the middle of a small one.  Pulling the dash out of my roadster is going to take a while...

 

But I think I can work in time to fit and paint this thing.  I am having a desire for some newer colored wheels as well....Oh well, this is why we have these cars!   I added some racing bling this weekend in the form of some static cling decals.  I am going to call it the summer of the race car.

 

 

 

 

I would really love some 14x7 wheels so I can run some fat sidewall tires and complete the vintage racing look. I think the BRE car ran 14x8 right.  But good luck finding those. Still powder coating my panasports flat black or dark grey would be a good look.  Or I guess I could pick up some rewinds, as that may be cheaper.  Still having fun with her though.   I will post pics of my new spoiler for a comparison.

You can get Rewinds really cheap from time to time from Discount Tire Direct.  I bought two sets of 15x7 for my 260Z race car for $360 a set delivered.

BRE ran 14X7 wheels. The wheels shown on my car above are 14X6-1/2 Minilites painted gunmetal.

I sold those Minilites to a vintage racer in Texas that runs an MGB. Datsun and MGB = same same.

I then changed over to the gunmetal 15X7 Rewinds. I would rather have them all gunmetal without the polished outer rim.

I also want to get the my car a bit lower just like moelk's car.

 

Chuck is adding a rear spoiler on my 70 white Z.....I just like the look!

@Diseazd

Guy,

What rubber is on that white car? The tread is really interesting...

Charles....The tires are BF Goodrich KDW's......size 205 55 16. They are no longer available in Z sizes.

Another option is to fabricate a rear spoiler out of sheet metal.

that looks sweet! im debating adding one myself. i love the looks, but i have read that these cars dont need the down-force in the rear

Just came home from Chuck's....

Wow guy 

that is incredible 

the white really pops 

standing ovation...you have me strongly considering 16" wheels

Thanks Stephen... I just think spoilers add a lot to the look of the 240Z. BTW, did you ever paint your rear spoiler the same color as the car? My guess is you'll end up going that route......just a hunch. The 16 inch wheels are my favorite, but my silver 73 has 15's and I really like them too....just can't quite get the selection of performance rubber that you can get in the 16's. Regards to your family.
