I need to give a shout out to a new Z friend of mine. You know there isn't a lot of us out there that are passionate about our cars -especially Z's. This past year I found out there was a guy with a 71 just on the other side of town and was doing a full resto. Ever since we have been sharing stories, work and a drink every once in a while. I have a lot to learn and Steve(great name too) has some stuff to share. 

We are both trying to get our cars done in time to go to Memphis while both of our wives laugh at our efforts:) Steve has the ultimate garage with a lift(I'll make good use of that) and a true passion(like let's start a z salvage yard) for the Z car.

He really floored me  when he gifted me with this dash from a parts car he recently purchased. His dash in his car is perfect( I mean perfect), and he said he wouldn't need it. He said he would work it off of me helping him out, which is a debt I would be happy to pay, but i'd be there anyway. 

Anyway, the pressure is on for both us. He's where I was in 2010 when i was getting ready for ZCon. I had an untested car, barely finished and driving many miles for a show. I just need to put an engine together-.

Wow. That is fabulous...

Pretty awesome!

Thanks for sharing!  

Another great example of how the car hobby brings good people in to our lives.  Congrats on meeting another Z enthusiast and the awesome gift of the dash.  Is your new friend here on the forums?  If so, we would all love to see the progress of his restoration.

He doesn't here as far as I know. He has a nice project to share
