Started to gather the parts to reupholster the seats.

Insured it for the year, and had a friend video tape a 2nd gear run so I could hear the new exhaust and carbs do their work.

Polished and Waxed her.  Too bad the image upload completely distorted the shot. It was a gorgeous shot.

 

Oh look it snowed lsat night.

I'll just go across the deck and get the shovel

so that I can get to the snowblower in the shed

Maybe then I can go to the garage to think about dragging a Z in?

Or maybe I should snowblow the driveway first.

Still snowing.

Hmmm....  It looks like Al Gore's global warming has had no effect on eastern Canada.

 

Reminds me of my days in upstate NY,  best of luck with that white stuff Blue.

That's hillarious Blue!

 

If sarcasm melted snow... ::

I'm like Jimmy Buffet......I'd have to start shooting the refrigerator!!  LET THE THAWING BEGIN!!

When I was in the dash area doing my lighting refresh, I noticed the foam seals on the vent diffuser were shot.

Picked up some 1/2" window seal at Lowes, has nice memory foam.  Cleaned & replaced the seals.

Another "while I was in there deal".

 

Installed the new Futofab sway bar I bought for the green 72. Easy installation and really helps in the corners.

I read a lot of posts claiming these cars handle better without a rear bar. I'll be putting mine on next week hopefully. Did you need to drill any holes for mounting (assuming it wasn't equipped with one, prior)?

You have to drill two 3/8 inch holes. I bought a 9 inch drill extension to drill the holes. If you go on the Futofab site, they show the directions in the add. The whole installation only takes about 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks, my bar(s) were ordered by Silvermine, but shipped from MSA. Will need to compare notes with the Futofab site. I don't recall any documentation coming with my set.

Went for a 140 mile drive (round trip) to the east bay.  The Z ran great, even staying cool in the stop-n-go traffic thru San Francisco and the Caldecott tunnels.
