Welcome to ZDriver!

Just an FYI... but that's a 280Z hood, not a 280ZX.

The PrimadonnaZ has a setup like that: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?showtopic=53266

Since you are asking, I assume you are a professional auto body man?

Then as a pro body man, you should know what to do... so get to work!

Sorry... gotta give you crap, though it really wouldn't be hard. Just weld up the hood and fenders, weld in some supports, add some bigger hood hinges, and wa-la! The headlight buckets will be a bit of a task on a 280zx since they are fiberglass (the S30's are metal).
