Looks like he was using a digital camera with the flash turned off. I have that problem a lot with the small digital cameras, they just don't have enough light gathering capability.

I'm very happy with the buy. I just ordered "How to Restore Your Datsun Z-Car - by Wick Humble" on amazon.

Any other good books on Z's you guys could recommend?

"How To Restore Your Datsun Z-Car" is a good start. The Haynes manual for the 240Z is also a good book to have near by as you start your project. Keep us updated!
