Here is my 1976 mostly-stock 280Z.

The project begins

Classic bronze, welding, body work, yellow primer, gray primer, sealer, paint, and then clear coat. WOW, it is a lot of work, I never knew it was so much work, time, and costly.

It is a project under way with the body work started and the rest to follow. Currently I have shaved marker lights, pulled dents, shaved radio antena and some badges, and got it in a first coat of primer.

I'm liking the seats... I was thinking about getting the same ones for my zx... how well do they fit? are they comfortable? and how did you mount them... stock seat brackets.. the floor?

I like it man! That color is just what I've been considering for my Z. Is that an MSA air dam or some other brand?
