I'm getting a 74' 260 delivered tomorrow, not sure why but don't want to see it neglected any longer. Finishing my 72' 240 resto-mod still comes first though.

Thanks Jon, good thoughts to consider.

OK, 72 240Z that I had road raced a number of years ago. I had cut the spare tire well out to accomidate the race fuel cell but saved the piece. The car will end as a resto-mod. Orignal paint, interior, etc but certain mods will stay, ie: alum rad, 2.5" exhaust. Is there such a thing as a street leagel fuel cell that I could route the filler to the original location? Or should I go back to the factory tank, (I still have it). Thanks, Joe

I am toying with some different ideas right now, (even though I am 18 months till paint) and I applaud your out of the box thought process. When I used to race SCCA I would try different graphics using vynil adhesive self paper, it's cheap, adheres well enough to last several races and was easy to cut. I could not always find the exact color I wanted but I still got a longer look at the graphic and some feed back about the style from others at the track. Reg Joe

Cool Beans, So when I get around to re-assembling my 72' it would be more correct not to replace the liners. That equals some 'black' ink on my restoration P&L statement. Hmmmm, I think I can now afford that 280 I saw on ebay....

Here is a bad picture of my drivers side liner and an ok pick of the Nissan label with the part number. The liner is plastic and does attache to a 'factory' looking clip welded just behind the bumper end bolt. Reg Joe

My 72' has them! a few screws mount them to the inside and a bent clip catches the wheelwell edge. Certainly looks factory. I'll snap a picture on the weekend. Reg Joe

Thanks. I'll get down there and look a little closer. When I checked the other night I was probably just being lazy. Regular Joe

OK, I will admit that I am not as smart as I look.... or is it that I am not as dumb as I look...Well whichever, How do I get to the bolts at the ends of the front bumper? There does not seem to be anything there when I reach in from the front wheelwell, am I just missing it or do I need to take out the lights? Thanks, Regular Joe
