Great shots Mike and what a beautiful subject! So you weren't satisfied with just shaking the gifts under the tree huh?

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!

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.

I like the battery cover...don't see many of those.

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.

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.
