jvb5577 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Currently under the works of restoring a '73 240z wood steering wheel. Also just bought some E30 ellipsoid headlights on eBay. Is there a write up on here on how to install the headlights? I have a spare bumper so I am thinking of painting it black. Just not sure if I should go with a flat or gloss. Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yesterday I was driving and a guy pulled up next to me asking if I would be interested in a camper shell. Gave him my number and told him to send me some pictures. This is what I got. He is asking $200. For some reason I like it. It is completely different. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Should look vintage as hell on your truck :cool: Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 :) you wacky kids. Not sure of what "look" you want in the end BUT this would go perfect with your old fender flares & sun visor add some air shocks in the rear & to round it off I've got a set of 15" slot mags. You' ll be creep'n super 70's style proper :) BTW I think dude is high, the smoking kind, on $200 for that shell. Just say'n. Check that top pop-up vent it was probably added on after the fact & they are NOTORIOUS for dry rotting & leaking. Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I thought 200 was high too. I havent looked at it yet, thanks for the heads up on the pop up.. I'm not sure what look i am going for either lol. I just want a shell to have one and this just seems very period. Quote Link to comment

jvb5577 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have a spare but you live so far away! Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Still have some more coats of oil to put on the wood but here are some progress pictures. When I bought it. Sanded and painted the spokes. After about 6 coats. Going for around 12 so half way there. The horn button cleaned up nicely too. Some corrosion on the chrome parts but I am thinking about painting it a different color anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment

Dawa Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 nice. i got a z wheel on my truck. didnt clean it up proper like yours but it was in ok condition. not sure if you knew this but the posts or whatever that cancel the turn signals are in a different location than stock. one location is vertical the other is horizontal i cant remember which is which but its rotated 90 degrees after the install and so if you turn one way it cancels the singal right away, and if you turn the other you gotta cancel it by hand.

heretic Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 how much dish does that wheel have? Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Never thought about that Dawa. Will look into it. Do you have a picture of yours? It has about a four inch dish. So the wheel will be closer for sure. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Will You be putting the fender flares back on and did You purchase that camper shell? Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 i dont have the pads for the wheels though. my Z did but this and the other spare wheel that came with it didnt include the pads. which is fine that thing is ugly. gives you a lil shock though since its not covered. im workin on a "low pro" cap.

I hate how it looks too. I was thinking of ways to make a "low pro" cap too. Something that wasn't soo bulky. What I had in mind was a 3in pipe (aluminum or something else) or a wheel center cap (since it can be rounded or flat at the top) with the mold of the inside of the original cap in it. From my measurements the inside cap that goes over the button on the wheel is 2 3/4 in. Enough room for a good fit. This is the cap I had in mind. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-ss3195c/overview/ Would just need to be cut shorter and then painted black with a datsun decal in the center. Would like some more thoughts on this. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 i was trying to think of something i already had. a lot of guys at work dip so i tried an empty dip can and it was too small. then i thought about an empty shoe polish can first i thought of the top of the can, doesnt fit well. but the bottom (brassish color) fits very well. sadly it isnt a tight press fit so it needs help not falling off. one could use double sided tape, i might use the 3 screws to attach it my plan right now is to sand it, paint it black, attach it, and probably put a sticker on top of it :) Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Seems like you have had more thought into this then I have :) Post a finished picture up when you are done. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 i do think a lot... but i am very lazy. when i eventually go through with it ill post photos for ya :) Quote Link to comment
