      With filming, a couple days off and on. I also haven’t filmed in a while and was using a new camera so there was some issues to dial in. But this car was stripped down in the first season, that took WAY longer since I was trying to preserve parts thinking I was doing a full blown restoration lol

    Brad, I'm happy that you're back on the 240z. I found your channel when I picked up my 280z last fall when I was looking for inspiration/info. I almost copied your rollover jig but ended up fabricating a rotisserie. Check out my videos of you want a heads up on some of these rust repairs you have to do. I've done all of the areas you pointed out on your 240z so it could be helpful to you. Can't wait to see more!

    The diffuser thought reminds me of starroad/ some BRE racecars. BUT BUT BUT DO NOT SAND BLAST THE CAR, SODA BLAST IT. Ive done that before and it warped the metal pretty bad since the sand get too hot, soda blasting is much cooler and has a lower chance of warping the thin metal on Zs

    • @Minebiowerz
      @Minebiowerz 8 днів тому

      You might be able to get away with sand blasting since its on the engine bay which is pretty thick metal, and the interior is usually not TOO rusted, but just be weary of warping

      If he was doing large flat panels I would say don’t but he is doing areas with lots of bends and bracing. Plus areas that won’t see anything but carpet over them. He’ll be fine. The only thing I would caution is too little air compressor. Sand/media blasting takes a ton of air. I have a 5hp 80gallon 2 stage compressor and it does ok on small stuff. And it will take wayyyyyyyyy more sand than you think especially since you won’t be collecting and reusing it. Just my 2 cents. Not trying to nay say, only help as I too am happy to see your triumphant return!
