1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
Glad you fixed it. It's a good thing to run out of things to do on the car. I wish I had that problem!

The steering shaft ujoints are NLA but there is a 4 wheeler U joint that will work. Kawasaki I believe. I don't remember the # off hand.

You can get the window adjusted right. The front vertical rail could be loose or tilted wrong. It has 2 nuts that can be loosened and then it has a little adjustment room. Keep tinkering until it works good. If you can do that other work you can fix the glass.

Mint '71 240Z - More Fun Coming to BaT
Any thoughts on numbers? I think the market has gotten softer, so I don't know where to come down on this. I could see it as a six figure car or a 60k car...

'77 convertible conversion sells at Mecum
I have a set of those vhs videos and a tr6 top frame laying around in my shop. It is a good looking car when done but its a lot of work. I'm not sure I would cut one up now.

The top was my curiosity. More of a roadster than a convertible. There are some metal plates just behind the doors that might accept a top.

Rockets from Iran hitting US bases in Iraq now
I have no misconceptions about the US government. Its a big organization and many of its parts are not looking out for the people's best interests only their own. I agree there are lots of entanglements and many of them were inherited from previous administrations. Some from decades ago. But I also realize I dont have all the facts. The president may or may not have all the facts. It depends on whether those below him put them on his desk. The reality of the office, is you are very dependent on a whole lot of people that you dont even know to provide you with good information. Since I dont get to see the classified stuff, its hard to make definitive judgements about whether his decisions are good or bad

Rockets from Iran hitting US bases in Iraq now
I am unsure why world organizations have come up with so many rules to make war better. War is ugly and that's just how it is. It's like fighting hand to hand to me. If we fight, you better be prepared, because there are no rules! I suspect the Iranians aren't really totally done, but from here on out will try to have plausible deniability on whatever they dish out next. Part of the problem is that much of the West and America for sure has about a 30 minute memory. These countries in the Middle East are still pissed about stuff that happened 600+ years ago! Now what were you just saying...? ?

What does the rear edge of the door look like? I wouldn't try to close the gap with a filler material. I don't think it will hold up well. If it needs to be closed up, Granny is right about adding a rod down the edge. The fender sort of has to "go where it goes" to fit into the reveal in the rocker panel

Rockets from Iran hitting US bases in Iraq now
Not likely to end in a boots on the ground war. Iran is too large and like Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, impossible to secure. I suspect they will keep exchanging "pleasantries" until someone has had enough. Iran has far more to lose, at least in the short term, like their refining capacity. We live in interesting times...
