Magnetic racing sheilds
If you plan to road race the magnetic Rondels would most likely blow off the car. If you autocross most of us used to do magnetic rondels with our numbers in vinyl on them. Size is normally just a minumum size for the numbers so the rondel can be almost whatever you like for size and shape. If you do vinyl and stick them down as long as your paint is well cured and was properly applied it should not come off when removing them. Also you can ask you vinyl shop about the quality of vinyl as some may have an easier to remove adhesive. Very high quality vinyls will last 5-7 years and are what is being used in the new BRE decal packages. Also the magnetic rondels may have trouble sticking if your doors have any bondo on them. To check to see if they will stay go get some of the small magnets off your refrigerator and see how well they stick to your doors in different spots as they will have similar magnetic qualitys as the materiels for the rondels.

Pantera look a like Rear Lid
Hey guys I had no idea that there is interest in the pantera style hatch for the z car. Many years ago I bought the original Hatch mold for the Pantera rear hatch and i have never made any. But if there was some interest I would be willing to blow the dust off the mold and do up some high quality rear decks and provide rubber and mounting brackets all built in. The price due to the style of part and work to create the window etc would be $450 plus shipping. Les

Show me Pics of Butterscotch interior with replacement seats
Chris You are correct since it seems to cost a bundle to ship anything overseas and i assume just the bottom seat cushion is what you need so it would be $50 US for half a set and that could be shipped in a smaller box than the set. But when i break up a set it is hard to match them up again. I will help you if I can. Les

Show me Pics of Butterscotch interior with replacement seats
I see that there is some discussion about seats and covers etc. Thought i would let you all know that yes we can make the tan/butterscotch color for you and now we can do them in a matching leather as well with the correct vents and all. We now can do leather in White, red, black and the butterscotch and we have just sent the new white leather to florida so there will be some new seats to see down there pretty soon. We also offer the under seat webbing kits for those of you with early cars and they are $45 for both seats. If any of you have asked us about buying just one foam the reason I recommend against it as the technology of foam has changed and your seats would come out completely different feeling if you only did 1 I can do it but it is a different feel and thanks for those who have commented about liking our products we try to only sell you what we use in our restorations and what used on the Z car program cars which is where most of this came from to begin with. When you re-web the seats and use new foam your seats will be better than they were brand new due to the denser foam. We will be posting some shots of the white seats and some of the blue ones soon. and the new butterscotch leather is really cool looking. By the way I have just made up the paint /dye for the matching butterscotch rear plastic panel kits so there will be no more excuses not to do your car back original now that you can get the whole package again. By the way we are going to introduce a complete gray interior package for those of you who wish to have something that looks original but is a custom color for those different paint colors. Also if you are running Miata seats I can custom do covers to match your correct interior colors and I can do leather for those as well and install vents to look more correct.Thanks again for your business and time.

Series 1 Engine Paint Plan - Details Please
Someone maybe it was Chris said that we sell Tower Paint but I do not we make and sell our own Mix on all our paints custom made for us by Sherwin Williams and where needed the correct additives added for heat or flex or flattening the color to get them right. May cost a little more but the quality of real automotive paint sure beats the cheap bomb cans in most cases. never had any complaints on our engine paint nor air cleaner paints. Take care! Les

Front end 'spook' options..
I very seldom get time to reply but I thought this may be a good chance to let you all know about some new stuff we have been working on for your Z cars. To keep the guys who race from ruining the 3 lower front chin pieces I have recently finished a high quality 1 piece replacement that fits the same and can be used on a street car as well as a vintage race car. It is so fresh we have not even finished the block off plates for the Turn signal lights yet. I believe this piece would be a cheaper alternative to the original 3 pieces if you cannot find some for a reasonable price. The other Long awaited new part is the Series 1 rear hatch panel which like all our plastic replacment panels will come in the various colors. Now this new piece is also so new I have not experimented with adding all the internal vent parts so I will post photos of the new hatch piece tommorrow on our site and you can presently see the one piece chin with the correct BRE spoiler in our 240Z section at www.classicdatsun.com Thanks.
