Did you get is? Got pix and more info?

Do a quick search on this, a few of us have discussed the Harbor Freight blast cabinets before.

Do you still have this? If yes, please tell me more.

If you still need the front I have one I'll sell.

Nice imagery, thanx for that. Have you recently read the rules for this forum? I've just been noticing the general language in your posts and am certain it is in violation of this forums rules. As for the video, great!! Anyone know if videos from youtube can be saved to your local computer?

This is the same diff all they did was install it upside down in the front of the trucks. I have one and will be putting it in my Z!

Welcome!! What part of the state ya in?

Welcome!! It's always nice to see someone else in the area (so to speak) with a Z.

This is TOOOO cool, I can't wait!!! I have always loved Speed Racer...as is obvious from previous discussion on this topic.

Hey Will, I'll review what information I have and let you know. This is a great idea!!

Thanx Arne, I don't know how I missed that thread yesterday. I was thinking the same thing...especially since there have been NO bids on it...I figured that since it was the first time I had seen such a thing (and I frequent eBay and these forums) that it must be rare and that there'd be a ton of bids from the people doing restorations.

Is this really a Z part??? Spare Fuse Leather Pouch that attaches to the wire's under the dash. After asking around, it appears these were only put on the very early 240Z. Both snap's are intact and work. The stitching is intact and there are no tears.

I have been searching the forums for over an hour now and just do not have the right combination of search terms to locate what I'm looking for. There was a thread a while back that was discussing the differences between the various 5-speed tranny models. In the thread was a pic of two 5-speeds side by side standing up on end (I think that the background was orange) and one was from a '77. It illustrated the difference based upon the mounting ears on the 'nose' of the tranny (one ear vs. two). Does anyone have a link to this thread?

Count me in! Would of course need the whole assembly to make it run.

What did you end up finding?

I've been gone for a while and just went to check this out. Looks like the auction was completely pulled as the links do not open the auction page. I would have liked to see what he had to say...

No, I do not know about the spoiler or wheels; sorry.

Sorry to hear that from your side of the transaction, though glad for the buyer...in a way. People constantly pay WAY too much for things on eBay as has been discussed on this site several times. Part of me hates to see someone get taken though at the same time he is the one who placed the bid and nobody forced him to do so...therefore it's all on him. As for the link, Wolf Creek is not my company...just where I got my Mikuni carbs from. Todd, the owner, is a great guy to work with when buying carbs due to his knowledge, experience, and customer service. Best of luck selling your set. With any luck someone will buy them for Christmas and you will have a little jingle in your pocket for the holiday! :laugh:

That's a good price, about what I have paid for mine. Too bad it's not closer or I'd consider it myself.

For anyone interested here's a link to the pix I took at the recent local Z car show. I love the first car!!! It's an RB swap and is very well done. http://www.pape.ws/gallery/2006_Capital_Z_of_Texas_Car_Show

I have to agree about the pop-ups on PDK, it makes navigating the site VERY painful. Please pass on that they really MUST change providers and eliminate this issue. And just what was that 'old racer trick' you used? Pix and description please...

New may not necessarily be better. I know that these have been out of production for a while and as such if it's really new and has never been rebuild nor used it's likely that it may need a rebuild kit any how. If it has been used it may certainly need rebuilt due to gas residue et al. On the other hand it may be perfectly fine. The company I was talking about is http://www.wolfcreekracing.com for anyone who is interested. Todd, the owner, is a great guy and very easy to work with!!

Weren't you also working on a dash light harness using LEDs? What happened to that?

Would love the fiberglass hood and fenders though the timing is very bad. What is the condition of the license plate light? Those are 4-screw SUs guys, I know someone wants them!
