I found a pretty awesome model. It's a modified die-cast 240z made to look like it's a junker... Pretty sweet. These are created one-by-one by individual artists... I couldn't pass it up.

Gary, what about the one from 'Precision Replacement Parts' ? It usually comes in a kit form... but, you can buy them separately. Give the guys at Z-Therapy a call.

Congrats on the car Evo1.... Hope you enjoy it... don't forget to come back when you have questions about it.

Let us know what you think of the set.... I'd be interested.

Do you have more details about this car? A digital photo is also good to show people what you are selling.

Nice..... tell us how you like the car!! I'd love to see some picts in here too.

Thanks Michael.

Yes, your assumptions are correct. The vinyl is folded over where they match. And, the vinyl has a small amount of foam padding between it and the metal above and on the sides of the window. The vinyl is glued and wrapped around the metal edges in that area. You might want to browse through the galleries to see if you can find some pictures in there. However, that might take all day. Perhaps someone from the site could take a few picts for you ? -- Mike

I've always purchased a glass scraper for that job. Be careful not to score the aluminum too deeply.

Why do they call it a Building when it's already Built ? When insects are Bugging us, is that why we call them Bugs ? Was the insect Fly named after Flying or was it the other way around? Yea, I forgot about your original thread Keith!

Anyone going to see the NASCAR races weekend of March 5, 6, 7 in Vegas? Maybe we could get together. I'll be there !!

I have always wanted to know the answers to these questions. 1. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" 2. Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's butt." 3. Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? 4. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? 5. Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? 6. Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is? 7. Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? 8. Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! 9. If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner? 10. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? 11. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? 12. If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? 13. Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? 14. Stop singing and read on.......... 15. Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? 16. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? 17. Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? 18. Do you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the first place?

According to the vehicle registration here in the USA, it's age that defines a classic. 20 years old and you have a classic car. Something like that....

Yeah!! That's why we put it together! Glad it was a helpful tool for your project. As far as the lights go... there have been many threads about resistance caused by the fuse block itself. So, you might want to pull it out for a good inspection. That baby is an essential part of a wiring system, if you have a bad one then you'll be in for a lot of frustration. If you have the cash, buy one of the new circuit board replacements by MSA. If you are poor like most of us, you might want to debug the system by removing one piece at a time. Make sure you go out and buy a CASE of replacement fuses. -- Mike

Who 'notified' you about this? Don't destroy your work... that is absurd. The internet is a place for free-expression. If your service provider will not host your information, go somewhere else. Always keep a copy of the site on your local computer just in case. If I were you, just keep developing it. Obviously someone is jealous of your talent. Keep going, it looks good. This is my opinion. -- Mike

Hi all, I'm in need of a L28. My current engine was sitting so long that it needs a lot of work. Looking for something that is known to be good (ie: no blown gaskets, leaks, etc). -- Mike

Yes, it's true that Nissan got a low score for the interior parts in the 350z. I really wish they would fix that problem because it seems to have been passed down to their new truck (Titan) as well. Car & Driver rated the Titan #1, but, they got low scores for interior. It looks "plastiky and cheap"

Excellent progress on this!! I love the pictures. This will certainly come in handy for someone else someday.

You guys have to realize that we are also in a different era where laws (created by man) are causing this problem. Creature comforts and ammenities also add to this equation. Also consider that a crapload of emissions were designed to be part of the cars performance. The emissions that we think of (from the '70's) were simply bolted on to the car as an after-thought. Thus, they greatly reduced power and affected performance. We can't do anything about the laws. But, we can add a bigger engine. Nissan needs to build a supercharger/turbocharger for this car .... maybe form something with Stillen?

Just looked at the picts. Man, that's rough about the girl-wrecking-car thing... Hope things are over with that broad...

Sorry about the car! It's tough to go through something like that... I know.. Most insurance rates drop at 21 and even more at 25. If you get married they will also drop. So, unless you get married, you will have to wait a few more years. $995 isn't much money. You could sell some of the parts on the net and make some of that back. But, if you think about the cost of most new cars, that is a cheap deal. I know that's hard to hear being 19.... But, you might want to call your insurance agent and ask him. He will be able to tell you the truth about your insurance future related to this claim. Think of it this way, it's just a $1,000 car. You are safe, nobody you know got hurt, and things are just a bit frustrating. Take this as the best opportunity to figure out how to get the LEAST amount of loss for the LEAST amount of time. Then again, you might have a ton of time on your hands.... -- Mike

Hi guys... good topic. At least it isn't the famous "should we allow ZX posts in here" topic.. I'm all for a "other datsun" forum if it will be used. The only thing I don't like is creating something based on an idea and then seeing it never get used. We own this server, so, if you guys want to create even a totally separate website, I can do it. Of course, whatever happens I will need help with either a forum moderator or a site facilitator. I suggest a forum to start with... if the demand increases we can move it out to a different website. -- Mike

Plate height is the distance from the floor to the top of the wall framing. I'm not sure how you build in Aus, but, we usually use a single bottom horizontal wood piece and two top "plates" (or top horizontal wood pieces). The roof framing (or 2nd floor framing) sits on top of these plates. Simply put, it's the distance from your floor to your ceiling on the INSIDE of the structure. I design houses on the side. -- Mike
