I am more on the 26th side. Real wire wheels, most of the details look original. of 38 million 100k is only .2% that seems pretty cheap for a decent looking replica Charles

Cool Charles

Some more info on parts numbers or source vehicles would make this thread more valuable in the future...when shims are needed in the future. Charles

I agree with ajmcforester, it will be hard to keep the heat down enough to weld it without turning the chrome blue from the heat. Also I agree why did it break? Did it rust and break or break from stress? If you want to risk it and try welding it you might be able to buff the chrome and polish the blue back out. I am assuming the blue is a form of oxidation so it shouldn't be very deep. Whether the chrome is thick enough to allow sufficient buffing I have no idea. On second thought if the break is not directly on the back of the chrome face bar and you have some distance you might could place it in water or on top of an ice pack. Can you get a picture of the break with the bumper off? Charles

I might need a translator for the dyno graph as my German is very limited. I like the TVR it seems to be a fairly new car and I haven't taken car magazines for years so I don't see the newer cars. I love the lines from three sides but don't like all the holes in the rear panel. Very quick though. C

My favorite way of describing these kind of things is "tuition" ie the cost of learning at one of these institutions Charles

And there were some nice cars there... C

Still love em. Seems like the way they should all be... C

What was the car at the end of post number one? I didn't recognize it... C

Looks great. Keep it waxed and in the garage and you could go a long time before paint. C

I would love to see some dyno numbers or some idea of what the engine makes. By the way, love those Euro taillights... Charles

Painting on a really humid day can give you the orange peel issues because the paint flashes slower. So if you don't give it some time to lay down and flash off, the next coat can cause build up, sagging and orange peel...my 2 cents. I love the transformation and even with some flows the car looks really good and infinitely better. C

Love it! Sounds great... C

Currently $9,000 with 2 days to go. That seems really amazing... C

That's cool. Never tried that and have been doing a lot of trenching at work lately. C

From the aerial pictures on Google he appears to 100-125 cars outside and 3-5 buildings. three are quite large C

Thanks C

HaZmatt, When you worked on the rubber parts, what product did you use for the degreasing? Thanks, Charles

Sweet. thanks for posting here... Charles

Steve, UPS delivers world wide... Charles

I parted a 76 280z several years ago. I know the dash or instruments are in my shop some where but I can't locate them currently... Charles

Very cool...great detective work. C

I might, I will have to look... Charles

Steve & Leon, Thanks for the responses. I love the idea of a period correct looking install with the custom programability... Now to just get one of my Z's running C

That's a good sized coil, I did some looking around at Summit Racing to see what else Mallory had listed. Thanks for the response. I have found this whole thread very interesting and much easier than trying to go trigger wheel and Megajolt. Would Megajolt be superior in any way? Just wondering out loud... Charles
