RAP260 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Lol, yea I must be getting old also.... Went the same path, Triples > 4 Barrel > New SUs Out of interest, where'd you go for new SU's?. I went for the Midel HS6 conversion kit. Love them, but took about 3 needle changes to get the AFR spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a set of 240 round tops if anyone is after a set. RAP260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you black out the chrome bits? What colour did you paint the tail light finisher panel (the light grey / silver colour)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint is Grey/silver metalic. rubbed right back ater three attempts and used plastic clear primer/4 top coats and 4 clear. Tried gun metal but was too dark on the dark green for my liking.

I actually like them blacked out, I find the chrome a bit busy and fussy on the 260z tail lamps. Not sure about the white face gauges however, it's a bit 90s for me. Keen to see how the Skillard Grilles look on the bonnet once installed. As I contemplated getting them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
