Hi Guy. So, did you decide to paint the orange 72? It still had its original paint, right? What made you decide to paint it?

Hi J.....Every panel on the car either has dents or some imperfections. The tailgate has screws in it from the louvers that came with the car. This car is going to be really, really nice. Trust me.....Chuck will make it perfect! Just as nice as the 71 he did for me.

I am certain it will be fantastic.

Have you been pleased with the L28 block / L24 rods and crank combo engine you did? Can you feel anything special as a result of the r/s ratio?

Absolutely the best combo I've built.....I'm building another one just like it right now. It is smooth as silk and extremely quick to 7000 rpm....a joy to drive!

Hey Guy, I thought you were done with the restorations after the last one?

I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Thanks Jeff.....can't leave well enough alone! This car is going to be off the charts! The interior is perfect as well as the underside. I'm not sure how long Chuck will keep her, but hopefully not as long as the 71......he's just amazing...looking forward to posting some good restoration pics. Hope you and the family are good....still waiting for you to come through Richmond. Guy

Chuck started dissassembly today.....he's also working on a couple 356's.

Guy - Keep it rolling and keep us updated - looking forward to some pics. If you get to Western NC to get out out of the heat of Richmond give me a shout. Just jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway and keep on going South - you'll be glad you did!

No doubt.....sorry you couldn't make the show in Wilson.....you N.C. boys have some nice cars and good folks....I'm going back again next year and will take a car instead of riding with Eiji. Guy

Next year you need to make it to ZDayZ and take best of show!

ZDayZ 2013

Most people would be overjoyed to get their finished Z to your starting point! I can't wait to see (and drool over) your progress pics.

I promise I'll let you know if I ever get down your way. I'd love to see your fleet in person.

Help me out here---

What is the relay in the lower right corner?

Is this the stock location?

Ny 7/70 240Z didn't have this as far as I know---was it peculiar to automatics or 72's?

Thanks!
