Happy to assist.

Thanks @CanTechZ.

A question for you ladies and gents - after my restorations, I kept the "windlace" - not sure if thats the correct wording- the molding that went around the original door seals. I believe the new replacement seals include this part. Are these moldings still useful, worth anything or should I get rid of them? If you need better/more pics, let me know. There are 8 pieces - 4 per side. thanks

Haha - well, you can't have them but I will sell them. I have no need for them and they can't help anyone sitting wrapped up in my basement.

Oops - this may have been confusing - the car is sold but the hubcaps are still in my possession. cheers Hank

I sold the 1971 Z, but I still have the hubcaps - the car was a February '71 build.

Original D Hubcaps from my 1971 Z (sold)

I did not want to highjack this thread, so I sent you some pics via direct message. cheers

My 4 poster is a LiftKing, out of Calgary, Alberta. I'm sure it is just a rebrand of another make. I love it, but as has been previously stated - take really good measurements and have a ladder handy the first time you lift the car, so you can make really sure you're not hitting the ceiling.

Chris, I don't believe that the Hemmings auctions have started yet. They announced that they were coming soon and the details look very similar to the BAT auction site. There's an auction for a 77 280Z on the BAT site that ends today - it may give you an idea what such an auction brings for $$$$. You can also go through the Hemmings listings for similar Zs as yours and arrive at a selling price for your Z for the on-line add. Remember, when selling , we northern folk get an advantage with the dollar exchange. Not so much when we want to buy. cheers

As mentioned, I sold the silver 71 Z restomod through Hemmings to a great buyer in Houston. The on-line version allows for loads of space to describe your ride, as well as multiple pics. Good luck with the sale. Hank

Perfect. Thanks so much gentlemen. She will be complete once more.

Ladies and gents, I have once more come to you for your assistance. I have a restored 1971 240Z and the original carb pre-heater duct hose (the hose that travels from the manifold to the underside of the orange air cleaner to pre-heat the air for the carbs in colder weather) has ripped and is on its way to total disintegration. Where do I get a replacement for this hose ? Thanks in advance for your guidance. Hank

I have had the privilege of touring this amazing space full of Z cars and related goodies. Truly amazing.

I've used Mackie Transport, out of Oshawa I believe. They deliver the car to your door in a covered trailer and take care of all of the border paperwork. Not cheap but well worth it in my opinion. I've never had any issues with the company. Congrats on the new Z. Hank

Absolutely amazing job on this beautiful beast Chris. I cannot wait to experience the finished product in person. Congrats.

Its actually a kidney and part of the liver, but the dash looks great.

That's a mighty fine looking piece. To correctly orient my shifter knob, I used steel washers under the knob until it tightened down to my preferred orientation. Works great.

Jerry, I will echo Dennis' comments - Just Dashes is the way to go. I sent my 1971 dash from Ontario, Canada to Just Dashes in California - it came back like a new dash - very happy. cheers Hank

Thanks for the info - I'll give it a try. cheers

What product did you use to remove the old glue? Thanks

Looks great Chris - looking forward to seeing the finished beast.

Gents - I head out to Nova Scotia every year - can play ??
