  1. My wife, who is a psychologist, taught me that lesson over 35 years ago. She told me that we each live in our own reality. Keeping that in mind has helped me in dealing with many of the foolish things I've heard people say over the years. Enjoy your reality, but realize everyone else has one, too. Dennis
  2. Welcome!! As the owner of a '71 since '71 I can assure you you're in for good times. Looks like the previous owner really liked white paint. Dennis
  3. So, all good! What's the next adventure? Dennis
  4. Parts for your new purchase shouldn't be a problem - except maybe the cost depending on your level of replacement. There are enough sources of new, reproduction, and used parts that you could probably build a '71 from scratch if you had the time and bank account. Any particular parts you're looking for at this time or just anticipating need? Dennis
  5. Perfect for tailgating before a football game. Dennis
  6. Can't go wrong with new spark plug wires, points, and plugs. You'll want the ignition system to be in good condition. If you want to get really thorough, add a distributor cap, and new rotor to the mix. Then, head out on the highway looking for adventure. Have fun with your "new" Z! Dennis
  7. I'd buy one if they decided to build it. Dennis
  8. Great looking Z and it appears the bidders agree. Dennis
  9. Well, that looks easy. ? Dennis
  10. Visual proof that your Hoover sucks. ? Dennis
  11. Their web site ( https://szrpro.com ) lists social media links. You may want to post your experiences on those links as well as on Yelp. Not a lot of options, unfortunately. Dennis
  12. Canadians...everyone likes Canadians. When on a military project in Peru, we would usually tell the locals we were Canadian if they asked where we were from. Seldom mentioned that we were USAF. All was good because everyone likes Canadians. Dennis
  13. Thanks for the kind words Cliff. Keep on babbling. And all those years I thought I was just keeping the World safe from Communism. ? Dennis
  14. Is there a state licensing board to complain to? I’d be interested in seeing the service procedural checklist and summary sheet. If they have one it probably looks something like this: Replace plugs, wires, points, rotor, condenser, & cap Set timing Check brakes for wear Check brake fluid Check tire pressure Adjust clutch Change oil & filter Top off radiator fluid Check to see if owner is in the waiting area Drive it like you stole it
  15. I've printed your comment and passed it along to my mechanic to use during my next maintenance interval visit. It's good I still have the tie down hooks on the rear so he can easily attach the chains. Dennis
  16. Be thankful they don't run into stationary objects to test the seatbelts. ? Dennis
  17. As a follow-up, drilling a "stop crack" hole was done often by my C-130 maintenance guys during the SEA Conflict last century. Seemed to work well as long as the crack wasn't on a fuel cell area. ? Dennis
  18. You may want to consider drilling a "stop crack" hole to stop it from getting longer. Dennis
  19. Some have reported putting a Zip Tie around the cracked plastic piece and pulling it tight to make it fit snuggly. BTW, did the rear brake noise clear up? Dennis
  20. Totally agree. Tacking on a panel that large and matching the roof curvature is probably not something easily accomplished by a beginner out behind the garage. Lots of grinding, smoothing, shaping, and hoping nothing warps from the welding heat would be quite a task. The Celica roof panel Ant worked on looked perfect when finished. I don't remember them saying, "Your results may vary.". Dennis
  21. Nissan may be putting the Datsun brand on ice, again. Read more about it at the link below. https://tinyurl.com/y5dnmjjg Dennis
  22. Gotta love the stringback driving gloves in the video. Dennis
  23. Here's a tune I used to enjoy listening to on the AM radio in my Z when the Datsun was new and AM radio stations still played music. Dennis
  24. Please refer to my response from when you asked the same question a few weeks ago. Deja Vu all over, again. Dennis
