Z dreams

Here in Michigan lots of salt is used. I don't use road toys until plenty of spring rain has washed the roads.

I think I'll try the WD-40, Dutchzcarguy.

Just received my carbs from Jeff Palya at Paltech. Look sooo nice! Don't If I should hang them on the wall or the manifold!

Very Nice!

Thats what I have in mind. Wouldn't want to destroy a good wheel.

Thanks Siteunseen, the shift knob measurements would help. I'm building a 73 240 resto-rod. Basically a southwest 73 body, a rust bucket Michigan 72, and a rust bucket 81zx rolled into one. I have restored my stock steering wheel, but thought if I could get a 240 steering wheel frame. I would try wood working in the round.

I have a wood working shop. I want to make a custom wheel and shift knob.

I would like a non-repairable 240 steering wheel and shift knob.

Original owner!! Cool! Work looks pro.

Flushed the crud out of my fuel tank after soaking for a month with vinegar. Very pleased with the results. Now one more vinegar soak for another week.

What about building a system based on the 280zx compressor, mounted in it's stock position on the left side of the engine?

I have a 72

L28 marine diesel on Detroit Craigslist.

beautiful restoration!

Again sorry for your loss. I'm about an hour from you. Perhaps I could help and possibly buy some parts. PM me if you want.

I think sitting in the sun with the windows closed,and UV light do more harm than being cold. One of my first ventures in the 70's was to bring rust free cars from Tucson. to Michigan, and take unbaked interiors, and sand free engines from Michigan to Tucson. Besides it's a 40+ year old Zcar dash might as well use it, it's going to crack sooner or later, if you use it or not. .

Nice!!

If you wrap your panels it's easier with leather. The leather can be pulled and stretched, vinyl can't.

Welcome from West Michigan!

Winter in Michigan. Freezing rain followed by hundreds of thousands of tons of salt. Followed by many inches of snow, followed by hundreds of thousands of tons of salt.

That's what i'm looking into a shop that can work on these heads.

Anyone know of where I could get a head worked on in my general area of the world? I'm in southwest Michigan. I have an E-88 that's asking for bigger valves and more, you know the affliction.

Welcome, Gary, Nice to have a member in the area. John

I live in South West Michigan. A 70's car or truck after 6 winters here would have plenty of rust, a Z with thin 70's Japanese steel of questionable quality at that time would pretty much be gone. Salt is cheap here road commissions use lots of it. Detroit loves it.

I had that POS on one of my vineyard tractors. Had the same problem. Replaced it no more problems.
