what's the deal with these bumpers?
78 Z, paint on the bumpers is there to hide something-unfortunately it is probably uglier than what it is hiding! Will

Is This For Real?
You have obviously never met a blond Georgia bombshell! They are something to behold, but we cut out their vocal chords before they are big enought to cause real confusion-here in Georgia, we do kill what we don't understand, and in this particular instance, that would be a waste of the perfect piece of living exercize equipment-the only one I know of that actually creates the motivation to use it! She could be "challenged"-the evidence all points to it, sentance structure(?), thought paterns(or lack thereof), absence of logic, etc...I guess maybe it could be a Texas thing! Well hell Carl, you musta forgot that I was born in Texas too-or maybe not! I would like to think that would count for something-even if it is against me! Alaska is biggier than Texas, and more beautiful than Texas. Hell, I liked it so much I left my appendix there! The only things I left in Texas were my foot prints walking out! Will BTW Clinton is the moron that does not know what IS means, and admits it infront of a grand jurry and the entire world! I do like Texas, and I do hope to visit again-If they let me back in...

I knew I spelled it wrong-it's NOT a Z, just a little pettiness on my part-there is another AM Z in my gallery. Will

Fogging / misting of windscreen during rain
You guys must have something different in the air, or maybe the formula has changed. I had a beater occasional use PU, and used never fog for years on it-no climate control. It was always parked in the hot Georgia sun- I never had any similar problem. Btw. Alcohol or vinegar will remove almost any glass coating(warm the vinegar and apply a paper towel the glass (a wet paper towel will stick to glass until it dries) to disolve perminent water spots.

Fogging / misting of windscreen during rain
As a temporary fix, get some never fog(made by the same people who make rain-x) also, put a few bags of dessicant in the car-it will lower the moisture content all day, and lessen the propensity to fog as well. Your control cable is out of whack, correct it, and your heater should work, but, the seals in your heater box have probably crumbled to the point of falling apart. Then address the heater problems.

Your memory is right on Carl, 4! flake off the undercoating and I hope you will find nice, pretty bolt heads, not the rounded rusty rivets that my bolts had become! I did just what 2many Zs suggested. Will

MidwestZ??
I just bought it now (An extra set of quarter vent trim), and attatched the following message to my paypal payment-hopefully we will hear something-if not I will be able to use ebay and paypal to find out some more pieces of this puzzle-like who is now MWZ-if the passwords weren't just passed on. You would think if there were a new owner, he, she or it, would want to keep the established customer base-keeping everybody out of a business that Chloe built by keeping everybody close certianly isn't going to be the way to do that. Chloe established relationships with us, and knew we could buy parts from a hundred different vendors, but she made buying the parts genuinely personable, and was interested in finding out of the ordinary parts, She enjoyed us(that sounds bad)and built a business doing it. Too many of the other vendors enjoy the paycheck and consider the rest as in the way-sounds just like the guys at the Nissan parts counter, "just give me a part number, pay and go away, if you don't have a part number, just go away." Paypal message: "What has happened to Chloe? All of the members at Classiczcars.com are worried about her, please post something." Will

a cheaper solution wanted
Enrique, I was insulted only that I didn't see the attitude you saw, which means I missed it while I was responding. All you did was point it out, and I am glad you did. You have never seen my work, and with the ease I used to reference making a part, I probably would have sounded the alarm too. That's why we are here, to offer and receive help! WIll

a cheaper solution wanted
I would never make a part with the 80s Billy Crystal attitude, or repairs from the Redd Green school of automotive repair-though I will laugh at both. I do not scrimp on safety eqiuipment or tools as I want them to do their assigned job perfectly every time I call on them. The same holds true with parts I make. I have made some that didn't meet my expectation, and they ended development in file 13. The ideas I mentioned early in this post have al been used by GM in atleast a handfull of cars, and are proven in this type of application, but not this specific application. I don't want a big red safety issue on my car either. I will appologize for what was obviously construed as a cavalier attitude for making such a potentially lifesaving-or threatening part. That was not my intent, and I do understand how that could have come across. Making suitable parts is always more than "will it bolt on?" On the other hand I do not believe that engineers are the only ones who can have a great idea and a fantastic implementation. Will

shaved door kit
What they did was to remove the recess for the door handle(it wasn't needed anymore) and cut and weld in a plate to fill the resulting hole, making the door skin complete and uniform, There is bno reason to remove the door skin, all of the mechanism is inside once the handle and keylock are removed.

Come on now, what have you got against the Pacer! GM even made a special Bicentennial version! The crosfire reminds me of the little white speck on the top of chicken shi-oop, that was supposed to be a thought not a type! Seriously it is a good car, just no Pacer-er Z! Will
