I have some scratch remover creme in a tube, but I don't think it really works, or I'm not using it right. Is anybody using or know of any magical scratch remover creme or liquid that actually works? thx

I read about this MIG wire on another board and thought I'd try it as my abilities on sheet metal with .024 wire left something to be desired on my less than great days This wire is made by Perfect Circle and is called Twenty Gauge, that's it's name not the wire gage, it is a .030 wire, and a cored wire but you have to use it with gas (75/25 Argon CO2). It makes welding sheet metal down to .015 thick a dream compaired to anything else that I have used. It is priced about the same as any other flux cored wire, $10-12 for 2 Lbs roll. Unlike flux core wires this has no residue and needs no cleanup. The core is made up of ground up metal or something like that, all I know …

i've been tossing around a few ideas on what colo(u)r to paint my car. originally, i was going to go with the original yellow with the black "240z" stripe on the side. then, as i got a bit more adventurous, i decided to toss around a few ideas. though my fave colour is yellow, i've always liked the way green looks on cars. as a matter of fact, all of the non-z cars i have owned have been green! anyway, here is my result: it's going to be a little bit darker of green, probably BRG, but with a gold pearl. i'm also debating if the BRE stripes should be vinyl (to remove them if i get sick of them) or painted under the clear coat (so it looks nice). anyway, i'm ready for in…

I am seriously having a hard time deciding what color to paint my car, I've narrowed it down to either light or dark metallic silverish, black, or a darker blue. I see alot of blue and silverish z's but not many black ones, it just dosent seem to be a popular color so i think i'm goin ta go with either the blue or silver. i'm on a budget (who isnt?) so i dont want anything to complicated but if anyone has some ideas please share.

My driver door lock on the '70 240Z doesn't work. It'll unlock the door but not lock it. I removed it from the door, lubed it, and tried working the key back and forth; but it didn't help. I checked MSA, Too Intense, & VB. The didn't seem to have them. Do you know who may? BTW, I searched eBay and found these (hope the link works, never posted one before). ebay lock I'm not sure they'd fit. What do you think? My door key is shorter than the keys in the photo. The seller says they're new but the clips look rusty to me. Thanks in advanced. Steve

Question for the group... Assuming all things equal, how much would it affect the "value" of a Z if one was to change the paint color from the original brown to a different color such as red, silver orange? In other words, let's say there were 2 240Z's side by side and both were totally restored. One was the original brown color and the other was previously brown but was professionally repainted red, silver or orange, how much more would one expect the brown one to sell for? Does it matter?

Okay, gotta break down and ask... Can't seem to find a source for a rear tailight lenses (240Z) anywhere. I've seen the "euro" versions (steep price IMHO) but I would actually prefer the US spec lenses (all red). It's becoming clear to me that no one has them new, but I cant seem to find a source for used or remanufactured either. Been keeping my eyes peeled on EBay with no luck. Any suggestions?
