260z Restoration

Thanks rbates!!!

chrome bumber strip - you removed it after the re-paint. Was the strip riveted or simply stuck on ?

-It was riveted in the door for sure but the wholes were plugged in and covered.

I like your wheel/tire choice - what size are they ?

-They are just the a dealer upgrade from '74 that I'm in love with. They were on the car when I got it and I will just re-polish them and keep them as they are, just a little better.

Are you satisfied with the ride height ?

-Yes, I love the height, I have no real reason to drop it down any

Any plans to increase HP & still keep the 2.6L ?

-As of right now, I just want to enjoy the engine. Gary rebuilt, bored and honed the engine, European linkage for the carbs, added a 6-1 header and build me a 2.5 inch exhaust. I already had the racing cam in the car and 240 SU's. With all the emission junk taken off the engine, I'm sitting really nice in the HP department without going crazy within the engine and making it more of a race car vs a daily driver.

I am VERY satisfied with the setup I have now. It is best for what I plan on doing with this car and how I tend to use it

Thank you!!! The wheels still need to get polished and that will come in time. As for the paint, yes that is a stock Nissan color for there 350 and 370z as well i believe
