Custom Interior

['71 zcar]

Getting a little farther along, getting sizes mocked up. Heal plate and foot board will ALU dimpled died and a shorter plate behind the heal plate for the carpet mat to sit on and be flush. Tunnel and rocker will be blended into the foot plate to seal up the area.

Interesting, is there a reason you are removing leg room for the passenger, something behind the footboard that needs the space?

It's actually only about an 1.5" away from the bottom edge. I'm going to push it back about .5" more, the top will be about 1" away from the wall, need to have some angle on it. With the seat all the way back it's about 43" to the seat back, I think there is some room to spare. I'm 6'2" and can still straighten my legs out.

As a Porsche owner I'm really digging this Singer style interior 2nd skin! Gorgeous can't. Wait to see the finished product, would you consider making me a kit?

The Singer is what everything is being styled around, I've been reproducing parts for Porsches for a long time and thought it was time the Datsun got some love.

I haven't been working on it for awhile, had to sell off a bunch of stuff to make more room and it's been too hot in the garage to do clay work. I'm doing the metal work on the seats next to get them to the trimmer. The weather is starting to cool off here so I will be getting back to the clay work.

I'm going to try and make the molds more production like to get multiple parts out of them. But some parts like the wheel housing in back I'll probably just wax back and lay up the part on the car since they get wrapped and A side doesn't matter. But we'll see how things progress.

If Singer did a Z car I would consider robbing a bank just to own one. ? They are the best 911's I've seen. Light weight too!

The 911 aftermarket  is fantastic. 240Z values have to get near 911's though for some of that stuff.

Local built Singer clone attached. Notice everything drilled out.

Getting back to the Z now. Getting seats ready for the trimmer.

 

[wheee!]

Interesting. Are you building racing replicas? Nismo headrests?

['71 zcar]

Yes, it will be a nismo styled head rest. I like how light and easy fitting the stock seats are, they just need a little more style.

Simply wow, very big fan of what you're doing here! 

Always been a big fan of any resto mod style modiciations or builds, I've subscribed and will be following with great interest ?

I know someone who is going to start producing “Singer” style 240Z’s. Should be very interesting to see how radical the mods are.

Seat frames are powder coated and off to the trimmers. Haven't had time to get farther along on the interior though.
