Really looking forward to the activities during this week. Will most likely have 2 Z's in the show. Now I have to work on getting some pictures out.

Thanks,

I took some pictures today of my 10/69 and 5/72 production cars for the Brocks to deliver to Mr K on his 100th birthday. I put the stock wheels and hubcaps back on #32 (HLS30-00032) so I could have both cars looking completely stock. I wore my vintage Datsun windbreaker and had my two assistants help hold up a couple of old Datsun dealer flags in a couple of pics. I'm submitting the first four, and attaching a few more from the photo shoot today. Did any one else send in pictures? If so, let's see them.
