vuk Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Man thats even the color I want on my Z, man there isn't much I'd do different aside form fitment on the flares and type of fenders, its not bad, just not the way I'd do it. I always wanted mad max zoomie style headers coming from each side behind the rear tires on the side of the quarter panel, always though it would look badass. i am 132% sure he had doooouble stack zoomie headers. 1 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Takes a lot of balls to try and rag on any of these Z's considering the bullshit you two have done to poor defenseless cars. Neither of you have ever owned a z 1/100 as nice. Matter of fact you both tend to go the opposite direction with z's lol. In Syncros case with like every car your family has ever owned. "stolen" ideas, that laughable... Stop dreaming and go actually finish something. Your doing some quality work from the looks of it so far VUK, looks VERY good. I been down that FULL resto road and know how hard it is. Post an update to get back on track from kids hating on hot z's lol. Quote Link to comment

Ever heard of sarcasm? the guy is half way across the country from me, why the hell would I of been serious? Your right man, I'm just gonna make everything I need appear out of thin air. You actually think I was complaining about the car is the odd thing, I said I like the car, there's just stuff I'd do different if it were mine. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ya there are things you'd do dif alright lol. Like hack it up and make it look like shit. Stop talking trash, you dont have the credit. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah cause ive hacked up all my z's, whatever you say man. Quote Link to comment
vuk Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Can't decide... shaved or not? Is this a dumb idea ( even though i like the look ) ? It would defiantly suck to have to put all the winder parts pack in after stripping them. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I actually like the contrast the wipers give the cowl area. That on top of the practicality of actually having wipers lol. A few years ago there was a guy who did a pretty trick set up. He shaved the holes then lifted/molded the top and modded the wipers to sit behind. It was done pretty well. Think his reasoning was the drag it reduced. Had I the means, like an english wheels and such I would try it. Quote Link to comment

I have a couple extra cowls, so I was thinking about shaving it, just to see what it looks like. I mainly drive her only once a week on dry days, so im not really worried about the drizzle, but I cant remember if you can just take out the rotating part that sticks out or if you have to take out the whole unit. If its the whole unit, might skip the process, as I really only have time to show love to one Z,,,, haha I think @rustbucket did it on his black beauty too Quote Link to comment
vuk Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Got some new-ish *old school* fiberglass headlight buckets.... Solid ones are for sure hard to come by, but every early 70' needs them. The rattle can is up next... Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I've been pulled over for no wipers, so check your local laws before you make it permanent. Quote Link to comment
