Covertable 350Z project.
 

Here is a little project I started this morning. I cut the roof off of the 350Z. Then I cut the rear deck from the S2000 which matches the 2004 350Z convertable lid. I shaped both to fit nice and snug and attached the new lid. All that is left is to clean up the edges and paint the new lid to match the car.

Here is a pic of the 2004 350Z Convertable...

Here is my version...(Work in progress...)

That's looking real good so far man. I can't wait to see her finished.

Nice!

I must say that is quite nice keep up the good work

wow

Nice work so far, looking good!

sweet , i imagine when you fill the cracks and stuff it will look like it is made that way:)

Thanks guys! Yeah, I am in the process of filling the cracks now, then I will sand and smooth, then paint it silver to match. I might go ahead and paint the seats and interior tan like in the pic.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ok ok but WHAT THE HECK that is one sweet convertible.....

its so awesome

Really well done! You're gonna have a very close match to the actual car there.

Ahh5hit = zip genius

i dont know how you do it... amazing


btw, did you get my envelope for the exhaust pipes yet?

Nice work!! That looks like it was manufactured in the factory than a home made job. That is really professional.

Yes I did. There was a little accident involving the envelope, a glass of juice and a 4 year old. I sent your stuff in a new envelope the other day. Hopefully the 2 stamps cover the weight, if not, I will send another.

Thanks bjv5....My intent is to have as factory looking as possible. I am waiting for the filler to dry so I can sand and paint it. I am trying to replicate the 1st pic of the real car. After that, I will throw some custom wheels on, I'm trying to find something new. I may wait for the wheels from Germany I plan on ordering.

Yeah, I heard those rims are worth every penny. I would also buy them if I had the privlige of buying stuff off the web. Good luck!!

Ok, I've made a little progress today. I still have to do some wet sanding, clean up the body lines on the sides, and hit it with another coat of paint. Any suggestions where would look the best to run the antenna thru?

That's looking excellent so far. I'd run the antenna out the center of the trunk lid just behind the piece you added. But, thats just me.

yea i agree... out the center of the trunk

Like this? Oh, and I couldn't resist putting the shiny wheels on. These are my favorite wheels.......until I get those wheels from Germany.

yea thats where

haha, as the peeps across the pond would say:

bloody good job mate, bloody good job!

you cease to amaze me:D now, bring those rims, that body, and those skills to my house whenever this mod project becomes a solid thing...:D

I have a set with your name all over them. We have to do this thing up right. We are gonna go all out!

hehe... hooray for me:D

Double :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: AHHHH 5HIT that is hot!!!!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! This had been one of my favorite projects I have done. It was my first major body mod other than lowering. It has given me the confidence to attempt more. I just want to thank everyone that has helped me in the past. This forum is one of the most helpfull and friendliest places to visit.

That thing looks like it was made that way.

Wow!

AMAZING job on the 350Z... makes me want one...

AP

:eek:

amazing as always dude.

put the antenna under the top, just wrap it up adn stuff it in there, it looks so cool that way. that is a sweet car... you do some great mods

Your work is Phenomenal! You always please us with your mods and your making us all want one!

incredible job dude.
Although i do have 1 bad feed back

the seats look weird, you should just have the back instead of the bottom of the seat above the winsheild.

other than that it's great.
to makeit perfest i'd fix the seats and put it n a zz 2.0

That's the only place the seats can go due to the PCB. The cover is already removed too. The only other option would be to leave them out altogether.

just use the back of the seats.I'm trying it too, only electric blue

good job
 

thats a really good job u did there, how much u want for it, or a similar one, if u could tell me a price, then make one for me, i will send the money ASAP:D
