Dropped of my head for work at my friends place. Always a nice place to visit.

Thanks, Jim.  I have a spare early radio in need of a faceplate that I, too, need to check out.

Looking forward to seeing how yours radio and chrome pen checks out. 

thanks again Jim.

Dan - Here's the update on the Molotow Chrome Pens:

I thoroughly cleaned the lettering area at the top left with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, most of the silver Sharpie and any prior chrome came off.  Used the 1mm pen to cover the text.  Cleaned the rest of the plate - note the silver Sharpie did not come off the long lines.  Finished the text at top right with the 1mm pen and the long lines with the 2mm pen.  I'm well pleased with the outcome - a very shiny chrome finish.  I highly recommend this product, will be using it to update other areas in my car!

Bought a parts Sept 1970 240z to help with #147 resto.

 

Seems to have early radio and antenna switch. Fingers crossed on the 2400 Valve Cover. I have not seen the engine yet and Sept is the final month of the 2400 cover.

I maybe interested in the radio if you don’t have plans. I need a front cover plate.


72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

I hope to do the same today. It’s been a long winter up here in the great white north!

After washing the 260Z on Saturday and going to a Georgia Z Club dinner, Wendy and I hopped into the car again today to go to a wine and cheese event at a friend's warehouse. It's always a good day when I get to drive the Z. Of course, visiting the warehouse has me looking forward to Mitty week 2019 at Road Atlanta.

Saturday was Zup's Birthday.   Some friends and neighbors stopped by to wish him well.   Great food & a very special desert.

Happy Birthday Jim!   My best friend ever!

 

Happy Birthday @Zup
