HA HA HA HA

Thanks Alan, I needed that today.

Underpants doesn't rhyme with France where I come from.

Cheer up everybody! Carchaeology is supposed to be fun!............ :love:

...snip....pictures of the individual metal pieces.

Pretty nerdy, huh?

Not at ALL!! Do you realize what a help those pictures would be in a complete restoration that involved disassembly? Wow, THERE's a CD I wouldn't mind paying for.

That's for sure! I haven't worked on my 240Z for a while, but the last time I was doing some welding on her was on the rear dogleg underneath the rocker panel (rocker removed). I was doing my best to figure out what the original panel arrangement looked like, so I could exorsize the rust demon and rebuild the panels in their original configurations. There must be six different panels coming together at the rear dogleg/wheelwell/floorpanel juncture. Kind of tough to figure out from just the fiche! A "panel map" would be a godsend!

Oh Geeze! This “collection” isn’t anything extravagant. I just nab pictures I see every now and then. Mostly from eBay. I don’t have enough to cut a Cd or anything. Never really thought of it. Remember that conversation we had going a year ago about when a car is “born”? Alan was contending that any specific chassis is “born” when the serial number is stamped on the firewall. Do I have that right, Alan? Anyhow, through those conversations about how the actual chassis / body shell / unibody was constructed, I set up a separate file for pictures of individual sheet metal. I’ll attach some of my better ones:

Just a thought but you know how everyone says these cars were made in a strange order. As in never in 1,2,3,4 sequence more like all over the place.

What if S30-00002 was started in 69 but sat in the production line till 72? Perhaps she was forgotten for a while or put on hold for quality reasons? Being #2 there could have been several quality issues to take care of.

Then with the popularity of the Z someone probably said hey we have this car sitting around let's finish it and sell it. Doesn't exactly explain the welds but could be an explanation.

*JUST A THOUGHT*

I still have S30-00144 and am going to start restoration next year. If anyone wants any pics to comapre any parts to this car (S30-00002) just let me know, I can have them posted in 24 hours.

so what happened to this car?

its probably beer cans by now.

I think that's very unlikely.

I hope you are right, but that car sure looks rough.
