Door top mouldings - Am I missing a piece here?
Thanks Jim. It's unfortunate that these pieces lack anything to finish off the ends. They look like a hand injury waiting to happen. I guess I'm going to have to look around for original pieces. Once again, thanks!

Is there supposed to be a piece, some sort of end cap, on the rear edge of the door moulding strips? Thanks!

wheel alignment shops in SO CA
Will do, Ron! I’m hoping to get my Z on the road by July. Excluding the road test, I’ve put a whopping 2 miles on my car since I bought it just over a year ago.

It wouldn’t be emissions exempt in CA. Only 1975 and older. But other states might exempt it,

My dash skeleton is sitting in my garage awaiting the new dash cover from VD. Oh well, I have plenty of other projects on my Z to pass the time.

I did this mod to my ‘75 280Z. I hope to test this out once I get the new dash cover and reassemble/reinstall my dash!

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
I bought my ‘75 280Z in NorCal (Petaluma) and rented a truck & trailer to bring it home to SoCal. The car was driveable, but I didn’t want to take a chance, hoping it would make it home without drama. Towing it home worked out perfectly. Good luck and congrats on your new Z!

The 280Z VIN tag is riveted to a bracket that's on the metal dash skeleton. The new dash by Vintage Dashes is just the pad that screws onto the existing dash skeleton. No need to mess with the VIN tag.

Absolutely. I took all of my lock cylinders to an automotive locksmith and he keyed them all the same.

That new dash looks sweet! My dash is out of the car with the old, cracked pad removed. I cleaned up some surface rust on the metal skeleton. I still need to implement the wiring changes to go from an ammeter/fuel gauge to the later voltmeter/fuel gauge.
