geezer Posted December 13, 2009 Share #13 Posted December 13, 2009 Great shots Mike and what a beautiful subject! So you weren't satisfied with just shaking the gifts under the tree huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zup Posted December 13, 2009 Share #14 Posted December 13, 2009 are a perfect match! You were both blessed when you got together. How long has it been? 2 years? Very, very nice work Mike! Those LeMans look GREAT! I know tastes vary, but to me a Z looks BEST with a 4 spoke pattern on the rims. Lemans, Libres---and to a lesser extent-- Iron Cross, Swasticas Pictures are very good too---best pictures I've seen yet, since the repaint. Are those the original emblems on your car? New decal on the restored radiator? Keep it all coming! It and you are a source for correctness and inspiration for many of us. Thanks for the post---I will eagerly wait for the updates! Jim D.

Mike B Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks guys. I am trying to get it as close to original as I can. Rich, I know my engine bay work isn't on the same level as yours yet, but I will get there. I'm just not ready to pull the engine on it yet, so this is just a temporary measure.Ron, my daughter had a dance recital yesterday, so that was my excuse I used to convince my wife to let me open my camera present early. I can't believe that worked!Jim, I agree, I love the look of four spoke wheels on the 240Z, if you are going for a period look. The LeMans wheels are definitely my favorite, but I like the Libres alot too, and have them on #237 now. All of Five&Dime's pictures have inspired me to finally get a decent camera to see if I can learn to take better shots. You have a good eye for detail, yes that is a new radiator decal from Banzai Motorworks and those are the original metal emblems on the car. I repainted a couple of them before putting them back on after the exterior repaint.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted December 13, 2009 I like the battery cover...don't see many of those.Gary S.Yeah, I think they give the battery a nice clean look. I actually found one of these at the Z convention this year for $5.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Enigma= Posted December 13, 2009 Share #18 Posted December 13, 2009 Wow Mike, nice job. You and Rich have inspired me to tackle this job myself in the near future. I only hope it turns out half as nice as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
