Advice on this 1980 on CL
Or, do what that lady would recommend and put it in the oven to keep it dry. Dennis

Advice on this 1980 on CL
Only a slight insignificant difference. Kind of like the story I heard on the news yesterday about the lady who thought she was lighting a candle during a recent power outage and it turned out to be a stick of dynamite. https://people.com/human-interest/connecticut-woman-blows-off-hand-mistaking-dynamite-for-candle/ Dennis

Tempted on removing, cleaning and reinstalling hitachi original distributor on my 240z
Hold that thought, laminate it and post in on the refridgerator door, and refer back to it often. Dennis

Advice on this 1980 on CL
Looks like a little delamination on the trailing edge of the left rear fender flair. I'm sensing "lipstick on a pig" with this one. Dennis

Advice on this 1980 on CL
Good move. With CL cars, always establish the seller's insult level. Looks like the perfect car for a guy who goes by the name Johnny Danger. Dennis

Reverse backup light switch for 280z 5 speed tranny
Several reasons.... The expensive one has FREE shipping. ($8.48 shipping on Niles) The expensive one guarantees delivery by Sept 11. ( Niles delivery by Oct. 25) Niles is from a non English speaking country as evidenced by the use use of the made up word "Equipments" on the box. Equipment is a non-count noun, or a noun that cannot be counted and does not have a plural form. Like all things in life, pay your money and take your chances....kind of like why it hurts when Cliff pees. Dennis

new lock set
My 4/71 build has the double edge cut key that works on all locks as well as the ignition. One key does it all. Dennis

ZG only went for $53K
Less than I had expected. I wonder what kept the price down - right hand drive? Dennis

Reproduction headlight covers
If none is included with these covers, the Big Box hardware stores sell narrow foam insulation on a roll that works quite nicely on earlier versions of the cover metal trim produced by others. Dennis

Reproduction headlight covers
Nice! A bit pricey, but I'm sure worth it for those who have been waiting for years for good reproductions. Dennis

Well, you are in the correct general geographic area. But, probably not rural enough to get full credit. You may need to move outside the city limits, drive an old Ford pick up, and have a slobbering hound in the truck bed. to become "Fully Qualified".. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck Dennis

California Fires
We're getting some of the fire haze from Lake Elsinore Holy Fire out here in the desert, too. Evacuation from the fire area impacts 20,000 people. Here's a link:https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6106/ Dennis

California Fires
Actually, more to burn than you might imagine. I live at the base of an 11,000 foot mountain which is covered with combustibles and with lots of farmland surrounding the base. The fire was/is higher on the mountain. It's been about 30 years since a big fire made it down the mountain to the edge of Palm Springs. Folks who evacuated from this fire are returning home. Many buildings burned and a total power outage still so lots of spoiled food for those who left. Dennis

California Fires
The fire has burned over 13,000 acres and is now about 90% contained. We were downwind for a few days and got a lot of ash even though the fire was several miles away. Not as bad as the fires in Northern California, but still a loss for people in the community that burned. All safe and good here, just ashy. Dennis

We've all heard Z headlight nacelles referred to as "Sugar Scoops" due to their unique shape and similarity to a large commercial sugar scoop.. I think mine qualify as "Ash Trays" in light of the ash fallout from the local forest fire over recent days. It looked like it was snowing, but the temperature was 122ยบ and the flakes were ashes from the nearby blaze. Dennis

Has anyone used MSA's Z flare kit?
I have the ZG flares from MSA.. They are "bolt on", so you will have to drill some holes in your perfect fenders. You don't have to cut your fenders, although many users do in order to use a wider wheel and tire without fear of fender rub. Not sure how the ones in your picture are attached since I don't see fastening hardware. Must be bonded. Dennis

Help pricing
Can't see a rear hatch glass weather seal. Is the window bonded in place? Glass or plastic? Dennis

A week in Japan
I'm a sucker for for spending on watches, electronics, and dust collectors. My travel experiences there are from many years ago. I'm sure you'll have a great time, just remember that Tokyo is a bit pricey. https://nerdnomads.com/expensive-japan-travel-cheap Dennis
