  1. Yes, mask was good but prefilters are shot now. I really should have had the Tyvek suit on to protect from skin absorption but I wasn't expecting the intake fan to dead head like that
  2. Today A bright gallon Here is the yellow basecoat I think that was 3 coats of base. There were some areas that had a little gray show through and they were super hard to get covered with the yellow. It's just so transparent! 3 coats of clear. Overall, not too bad but one of my cans of clear had a little rust on it and it ended up in the mixing cup. the paint screens didn't get it all. So there are a few brown specs in the clear. I will have to cut them out. Hopefully I won't have to reclear. It's progress though. My booth didn't totally work the way I wanted. My intake fan filter ended up clogging with exhaust paint overspray coming back in another door of the shop. At the end the booth was pretty foggy! Don't light a match!! I probably should have worn my Tyveck suit but it was already hot in the booth... Colour!!!!
  3. So yesterday Shot some white basecoat There was still a little trash in the paint. No idea where it's coming from. So I worked those areas with a little 600 grit and then degreased again and tacked the car
  4. Or use a little harbor freight aquarium pump with tubes to either end of the block
  5. We have some mountainous areas near us and I have found the stock brakes to have a lot of fade on long downgrades. I hate the idea and smell of burning brakes. That's where the brake upgrades appeal to me
  6. CO, how were the results using that in the block?
  7. Sold for $24,250
  8. I would like to make a cameo but I doubt it. We'll see...
  9. Miscommunication, I have not had the 123. I know several people who have it and I like everything I have read about. I know the caps can be a problem but I have seen solutions for that.
  10. There are a number of members here who are fans of the flat top carbs. Captain Obvious being one of them, but we don't hold that against him! 🤣 The flat tops are tremendously more complicated than the SUs you have. You'll get it sorted...
  11. Replacement tanks are also being manufactured depending on the year car
  12. I dont really care for the pertronix because I've been stranded by them. I have the zx dizzy on a couple of engines but I like the 123 dizzy alot
  13. Just be careful! The bare chassis is not super heavy but it's still heavy enough to hurt you!
  14. I love this table! I would love to see a hardware table like this for the 240z with pictures of the fasteners beside the descriptions
  15. If it doesn't even try to bump over on starter fluid, I would investigate the ignition system
  16. I would ask Classic fab if they could make you some based on dimensions you provide
  17. So I was gonna try and spray color this weekend but that's not gonna happen. I reset the booth and added an inflow fan like Homebuilt by Jeff had. The problem came about when building the fan. I stabbed my thumb nail with a philips bit in an impact and tore about half the nail loose! 🤬 Shelley helped me get the booth all back set The weather this weekend is also pretty rainy and humid. So I will try again next weekend. May try a test panel with the new spray gun tomorrow.
  18. I think you might be correct on the spring. Have you checked the part number at Courtesy Nissan?
  19. Buy the rail and replace it entirely Edit: If the bottom Is that compromised the sides are too. And potentially the flanges and welds. Clean slate...
  20. What size are your BFG's?
  21. I hear ya!
  22. 4th

    Yes, be safe on the roads! It's evidently the most dangerous weekend of the year.
  23. Looks like the same loop on the rear left
  24. My machine shop had problems sourcing freeze plugs when they did the L20b in December. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was still some scarcity.
