the wife keeps telling me i need to go to work. she needs money
Besides, if SHE needs the money, SHE can go get some. Women are allowed to work in our free society. Suffrage was a long time ago. All we need is car and beer and Taco Bell money. Hell, they need all kinds of things.

Oops, I didn't know that. Now things are changed since she's the one buying the parts beer and food. I think they get mad when you ask them to get another job so the can support your habits better.....so, don't do that. Better just hurry up, get it done and go to work.

i thought about side pipes how do they work out on your Z. do your wheel get dirty from the exhaust? my headers were about the biggest pita to fab. The headers i bought had 8" or 9" from the shortest one to the longest one. i got all tubes with in about 1" in length. if i remember right they are 1 5/8 by about 31".

starting out slow and work your way up to full speed is always a good plan
the problem is once i weld the fender flares in place it would be a major job to lower them. with on registration, lights, windshield or seat belts to name a few. i live in the country so i have took it for a drive a couple times. the fix-it ticket aren't so bad but the seat belt tickets are not cheep. seat belts cant go in until i do the roll cage. i have non opp now because i don't want to pay insurance and reg. when it's taking os long to finish this project. the wife keeps telling me i need to go to work. she needs money

Start repairing cars & trucks for a living like I do.
Feed the kids & wife 1st.
Otherwise all women around the world will kick the living chit out of you somehow.
Yes its true.
Hotrods , Vettes, TA's and other toys come 2nd.
Have to get a job soon yourself.
I was self employed 2005 to 2007.
It was fun.
When work was there.
No work sucked badly.
I repaired everything already...........
No fun going hungry.

No, Wheels are fine. The only problem with them is they get HOT. If you have to wear shorts and you forget that they're there your skin will stick to them and leave your leg. About 8 square inches worth. That will only be once because as they say, experience is the best teacher.

I was reviewing this post I noticed it looks like you forgot to put the clutch in your 280 but than its probably easier driving that way.
finally got my truck painted what do you think. the odd white color is cloud reflections

Cool looking project!! I like the creativeness that went into it. Something different.
