wheee!

Buy them in bulk on eBay etc. With the proper pliers, they snap in fast and can be removed in seconds for quick panel fitting etc. Sheet metal screws tend to distort the metal a bit too. Cleco’s are a clean solution for metal working

Cool!

Take $2000 cash with you and offer $500 first

Sounds like a steak I had at my brother in-laws .... indistinguishable lump...

So after a year and a half waiting for Dave at AZC to finish making the rear brake bracket with integrated park brake, I have moved on. Dave has been promising me it would be ready “in two more weeks” for 18 months. I have installed the rear bearings and seals and have decided to move ahead with a solution from Silvermine Motors. Edan and I have been in discussion as to how to solve the park brake issue for all the AZC customers out there. I am going to create a separate thread and detail the process of adapting the Silvermine kit to the AZC kit. I will be keeping all the rotors and calipers from AZC, but will be using the park brakes, adapter plate and custom emergency brake cable from Silvermine. In the meantime I put the hubs together as, unlike AZC, the hubs don’t need to be split in order to install the Silvermine adapter plates.

In the end, the second pan was an extra day of prep and 40 minutes of powder coat and cure. I got to go visit Jim and hand pick one of the multiple pans he had sitting out for me to choose from and spend some time in the emporium. I get smarter every time I visit him... Time well spent.

Note to self: no driving next to the Captain...

Well there was about 5 hours of power sanding last night... Sandblasting removed all the rust but the pitting was everywhere. A sanding disc on the grinder removed a layer of the pan just deep enough to remove the pitting. The main thing was that the pan was dent free and straight!

Ok. This is wayyyy better! Thanks Jim!

This process still mesmerizes me...!

Nature abhors you all....

They can’t afford cars and they have no jobs to go to, so not an issue... Motorcyclists don’t dare appear on the roads till after April, unless it’s motocross!

Spring in Alberta is the same. Cops can tell the drunk drivers because they’re the ones driving straight. Sober people weave through the potholes....

The house was part of the deal in restoring the 280. The wife said I needed a shop on the property if I wanted a hobby that was going to take all my time. So we sold the old house and bought this one. I think we both got what we wanted out of the deal. I was sold when I saw the garages and she was sold on the house and property. Now she tells me I have to include the cost of the house in the restoration expenses... anyone interested in a million dollar Z?

Jeff, you can get fabric dye pens from hobby stores that will allow you to dye your seat stitches blue to match. I did that on my 370Z and it worked fabulous almost 10 years ago. Still looks great today.

This one will return to stock if I keep it for myself to restore. I have 3 grandsons under five with another due in June. I have 6 grand nephews under 7 with another due in June... sometimes it looks like a schoolyard around my house!

There’s a lot that’s not right...

And she’s home!

The Silvermine Motors site. Complete kit for the car is available. I documented the initial install in my thread. Edan [mention=27610]silverminemotors[/mention] will set you up with all you need. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61463-silvermine-motors-electric-power-steering-system/

Plus she's been studying famous race cheating methods...

Even us northern interlopers! [emoji1]

No power steering, no problem!
