battery tray, eaten out.. needs replacing.. frame rails are good... floor boards will need to be welded in which is no problem... quarter panels and rear hach and everything else just has signs of begginging exterior rust.. i think it will be fine

yeah youre right, guess im just a little anxious, it is probably best for me to stick with the stock engine. but its been sitting for 14 years... sooo im not sure if sparks and gas are going to help much. rebuild? i have all the equipment to do so. and mechanically? im not so sure yet havent look much into it. but exterior wise im going to add a front air dam, and a little wing on back.. nothing very gaudy, dont want it looking like a ricer. @ sparegolfer- any suggestions?

thanks man! are there any other places you use for parts that you would recommend?

Recently my father game me a 1973 240z to build. this will be the first build on a Z for me. so i need a much information and resources as possible. if you know where any restoration, performance or miscellaneous parts are sold please let me know.any information will help me very much. Im up for suggestions on the build again any info will help.im thinking about painting it a burnt orange color, any suggestions on rim type/color? also would there be anywhere that sells nut/bolts/washer kits for specific locations on the car? im debating whether i should keep the stock inline-6 and rebuild it. or to put a turbo inline-6 from an older 280z. my father also talked with me about putting a skyline engine on the Z, any opinions on the skyline engine? there is a place not too far from me that sells import engines called "JIS" its in arlington, TX. im pretty sure they would have one. any suggestions on the engine? i also pulled my fuel tank yesterday and it had rust in it, its been sitting for 14 years, how could it not? would i be better buying a fuel tank used thats not rusted? or is there a place where they sell them new? what about a fuel cell? do they sell those? or would i have to custom make my own? thanks, alex
