I think I may have posted this picture in another thread topic. but this seems like a good place to do it again. Northern Wisconsin, November 1971. I bought the Z after seeing one on display in Tokyo on my way home from living out of the country for about a year and a half. I still have the Z and the white leather sheepskin lined jacket from India. But, not the cashmere turtleneck sweater from Hong Kong or nearly as much hair. Gotta love 1971. Dennis

I bought my flares from MSA about 10 years ago and they fit fine. I totally understand degraded fit after making copies of copies over the years - kind of like a bad 12th generation Xerox. I've read several posts from owners had had dismal flare copies from various suppliers. I guess I was lucky. For me, the hard part of fitting the flares was setting them at the right, front to rear, height after looking at lots of pictures of flares on Zs. Too much fun, but I really like the look and always have since seeing a new Z on display in Tokyo in 1971. Dennis

I used the flares sold by Motorsports Auto. Quality and fit are good. As for "easy to install", that's subjective. You'll need to source mounting hardware, figure out correct placement on each fender, decide if you'll cut your wheel well openings or leave untouched, and drill holes in your fenders. I'm sure there will be opinions on other sources, too. Read up on install procedures in the archive. Dennis

Mike, did you post that picture on porpoise? I think our time would be better spent discussing all the fuss I hear about flea elections in China. Dennis

Busting school children, youth in Asia, too much violins, and to top it off, what’s all this fuss I’ve been hearing about the presidential erection? How much longer can this go on? Dennis

Nice job! Hopefully the title/cash transfer goes smoothly. That's always the scary part when I've sold to a private party. Dennis

Looks homemade to me. Not at all like what came in my 4/71 built Z. Dennis

And as if that's not bad enough, the Supreme Court is going to make a decision on youth in Asia! Can't they just leave people alone? Dennis

Not what I would consider to be "Bullet" mirrors. But they are mirrors and it is Craigslist. Dennis

The buyer fee is usually 10% of the sale price. Dennis

For anyone interested in reading a little more about the varieties of headlight covers and trim rings, check this link: There are several more threads in the archive that mention many earlier tries at replicating the rings and covers. Lots of good intentions. But, so far, no results. It's a complicated process. Good luck to anyone who can make it happen. Dennis

Wow! That restores my faith in humanity.....for a while, at least. Sound like you found the right guy for the job. Dennis

Are they taking any responsibility for your labor costs? Sorry to hear about the difficulty. Dennis

OK, single large center hole opening is different than on mine. I didn't know they used the vertical rocker antenna switch on later cars. Learned something new! Dennis

Wrong shape? Looks real close to how the one on my '71 is shaped, including the cut out for antenna switch. Wrong size? Dennis

I suppose we'd need a BIFF and a SOCK, too. Many good fight scenes on YouTube. Dennis

And if you ever have a chance to write a script for a revival of the 1960s Batman TV show.....!!!! Dennis

The only way to determine if it's good enough...... is to try it. Let us know how it works out for you. Dennis

Let me be the first to ask.......Cost? Dennis

LoJack is expensive so some people get a little creative. One clever workaround I heard about was to buy a cheap used iPhone - cracked screen would be a good choice and then put it on a an inexpensive wireless pay as you go plan. Hide it in the car, like by the taillights and hot wire it for continuous power. Then use the "find my phone" feature to track it if the car is stolen. Also, there are other commercial choices. Dennis

I agree. Most of the cheap & easy theft deterrents will only stop or slow down the spur of the moment thief looking for a joy ride. If your car is worth more for parts or export, LoJack is the way to go. Dennis

Looks aftermarket to me. Dennis

I know you've had the "DO A GOOGLE SEARCH" lectures a few times in the past. Look what I found when I did a Google search for "fix gas tank leaks" - this and about 500 additional suggestions. I'm fairly certain you could have done that, too. Time to put on your Big Boy Z Fixer coveralls and do a little research on the problems you encounter. On the other hand, you could sell the car to someone willing to tackle routine maintenance projects and simplify your life and mine. Dennis Dennis
