Good luck man. If you start getting pissed off because things aren't going your way, just remember how cool it's gonna be when you are done.

lets just hope that works, im just afraid there will be exaggerated amount of welding. and btw snwbrderphat540 im pretty close to you. im in chicago, it's good to know there are other Z owners around, of my whole life ive lived in chicago i havn;t seen one 240 -280z

good stuff. hybridz aint to freindly so dont be surprised if you dont much feedback from them. btw do you weld?

looks like you have a little money pit but should be good. that rear bumper guard bars gotta go. looks like that needs to be on a off road truck or something. so what are you plans for it?

krakerjak

ya hybridz is deff not that friendly, and to answer your question yes i do weld ( since i got the Z) and the rear bumper that is gonna go, im gonna sheet metal the back and smooth it and curve it down, if i find a picture i'll pst it up of what it'll look like, and as for money pit oh yes but i estimated i need 2000 more to get it to where i want it before the final step

i know all the crap you are going through. iv been down that road and more.
