So Buck and I were kicking around ideas in the garage the other day when lighting struck. Let me start a few steps back, So Buck has been going crazy trying to figure out the weight of the car ( I have to admit that I have been to) so he brought home the scale they use for weighing boats at his work. If our measurements are correct the shell including ,suspension ,brakes, front bumper, is around 1500lbs. The engine and transmission should add in about another 550. but most of that weight will be up front. Even once we get the cage and a full tank of gas (20 gallons x 6.25 lbs= 125lbs) we are gunna be a little light in the rear. THIS is when the lightning struck, obviously we need a wing but it need to be chump worthy, and thats when we saw this siting in the corner of the garage!!!
Yes that is a tailgate of a old Datsun pick up, and since technicaly the 280zx is a Datsun that makes it even more awsome. You cant realy see from the photos but it says DATSUN in big black letter across the gate. I cant wait to get working on this. Oh and we have full coil overs to adress the hight of the rear suspension yikes!
