I had a 1957 Beetle, I was rear ended by a drunk driver. Long story short, his insurance company gave me quotes from JC whitney for a my parts, came to about 400-$500 bucks! If any body is familiar with Vintage bugs, just the deck lid alone can be $500 or more. I was in a daily shouting match, real shouting, on the phone, and basically had to tell adjusters that "they were not going to win". In the end, I was able to get almost everything I was asking for. I had to provide actuasl costs for vintage 50's VW parts, but it worked. Please do like me, dont take any crap from the people.

Thats pretty nice dude! I love the lights. Are those home made? Also, did I see the front side lights also doing some turn signaling when you were pulling in the driveway? I have only been around 240's, is that standard on the 280?

Thanks, this key is the one that matches my ignition key. Will the door key look the same as the ignition on the 73?

I am looking for a nice replacement key for my door locks, founf these on ebay. Can anybody tell me if these are original for a 73Z? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310176692297&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I have my original ignition key for my 73, and it has a round shape by the key ring. The one on ebay has sqaured edges on the ignition. Thanks

I have a 73 Z I need to have paint & body done. Any suggestions in JAX, FL? I know there are plenty, but I dont want to just hand it over to just any place that just does insurance work, not that I'm knocking that. But I kind of get the feeling from talking to some that there just really not interested in do my car, and I'm affraid the work may suffer. Any suggestions? I also wouldnt mind taking it out of town if there is a reputable place, in reason of course.

did you keep the front seat mount in place when you put the floor in?
-
Thats what I was hoping to see. I also figured i could leave the front seat brackets in place as well. Thanks alot.

Thinking of replacing floor pan, are there any measurements for welding in seat mounts after new floor pans installed? The Zedd floors seem the way to go, do they offer any replacement measurement?

I have a 73 Z, anybody know of a reputable restoration place that will do the Z right?
-
Sounds like someone put the kybosh on you, that blows.

I took mine out, cut it in half(long ways) right above the weld seem. I had it sand blasted, welded, pressure tested, and powder coated, for around $250. Looks better than brand new. If you do this, just make sure you take compressed air and run a nozzle in one of the holes to constantly have fresh air running throught it. It may go boom if you dont.

The reason I brought this up, is I have a white 73Z, and I saw a die cast model of a white Z with a black hood, I thought it looked pretty cool. There are lots of late 60's muscle cars also with flat black hoods.
-
Does anybody know the significance of a flat black hood with rest of car painted? What paint would I use to paint it, or clear coat?
-
What a thread, Im just about to start the conversion. I had a guy who claims to be a Z expert, say I needed to cut the drive shaft to get it to fit in between the manual gearbox and the diff. I guess this is not the case since no one has mentioned it. Thanks for all the info
