I'm an Idiot !
I definitely recommend the Paintless Dent Removal technique. During our Christmas Party at Jimbo's Z Mecca in Lutz, FL, the Suncoast Z Club invited a guy to work on cars that folks drove in. I'd never seen it done before, but this guy did around 6/7 cars, a couple of which had big dents with some paint cracking. The best one was a custom painted 280Z with an 8-inch dent along the SS line of the door. When he was finished, the dent was gone...then he fired up a torch and carefully ran it the flame along the dent, and the paint cracks disappeared. It was really interesting. Good Luck Julio.

How long will the average L28 live?
It's really only living when it's pushing 4500 RPM's or more and a cool breeze it's running over it's metal skin! Drive Fast My Friend!

How Close Are Our VIN #'s
#17269 12/70

Is what i found worth anything?
It is hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like a 69-very early 71 Series1. It has the rear hatch vents and the steering wheel without holes. Did you happen to get the Vin and engine block numbers?

Fastest Car You Have Ridden In?
One of the biggest thrill rides I've had was in Mark Alger's #4 Comp Coupe Viper on Phoenix International Raceway during a National Auto Sport Associate (NASA) event. The 8-lap ride-along was super-fun, and scary at the same time. We were on the track with a few "newer" drivers in much slower cars, so it made for some white-knuckle moments. I never looked over at the gauges to see just how fast we were going, but afterward I checked the computer and our fastest lap on the track was a 1:05:69. I can't wait to go again.

It looks like the Online Registry of 240Z's (240) has been totally deleted. All the other tabs look OK.

"Shelby" center caps clean up
Does anybody have a line on someone who can reproduce this part? Seems like a few Mustang and "Shelby" Cobra owners might like a set too. That is assuming KJP would supply the donor part.

My first 240z!
BARGAIN! Good luck on the resto. I think some elbow grease and some rubbing compound will bring back a good portion of the cars color. This is a great forum for help. I still have a long way to go, but here's something to shoot for:

The PO gave me wood
I was afraid to clik on that posting just based on the title "PO gave me Wood". But since there was no warning at the top that the posting was for adults only, I kept reading. Haha
