Ron, I thought you were going to say... "If you can dodge a Dodge you can dodge a lemon" just kidding you Dodge fans... "Warm yourself twice, Chop your own wood" Henry Ford

oops...not so sure there is much too learn about Zs over there? 66stang gal & Pontiacguy enjoy your learning experience with the rest of us HERE at the right site.

I'm guessing he also owns a Pontiac? My daily driver is a 93 Pontiac Formula... as for learning as much about the Z, don't feel afraid to tell someone to explain (chances are they don't know either) but hang right their with your friend and his Z, you can get more done with 2 people. Mrs. Chino 240Z won't let me work on the Z without her!!! tells me she owns 51% of the car? but it's 50 / 50 behind the wheel at the track. Nothing wrong with keeping the Stang an orig. straight 6, our 68 was too. So as to not hi-jack this thread or change the theme.... lets see...I like to say... "To each his own" "Hito to iro" Japanese for "People & Colors"- "Many people & Many Colors" "Osaru mo ki kara ochiru" Japanese for "Even monkeys fall from trees" - everyone makes mistakes. :cross-eye

Hi 1966FordMustang, Welcome and hope you stay! 20 years ago my girlfriend had a 68-Stang, straight 6, candy-apple red, white top... so fine. I had a 72 Mach I and I had also purchased a Z car. The cars made a good combination! This girl is now my wife and racing partner & best friend for over 18yrs. Still to this day we both wish we had that 68 & 72 Fords... should have never sold them. Anyways enjoy your boyfriends Z, and never sell that 66!!! 20 years later you will still be regretting it! Cheers...Craig & Cindy

Hi Marduke, You or anyone else are always welcome to stop by, no charge at the gate, just sign in. You can always sit in on the drivers meeting at 8:00 then there is a track-line instruction class following that you can also check out. Most anyone offers brave soles rides in there cars through out the day, just bring a helmet. Lots of bench racing in the pits going on, nice cars, snack-bar, gift shop and all you can eat BBQ lunch is $10 too. Often professional teams use OTR for testing, like once Borris Said showed up with his Trans Am Mustang cars. You are also welcome to join us at Camp-Z and go for a ride too. I am 99% sure the Nov. 16th will go off rain or shine! Hope to Z-ya there.

:classic: Thumbs up!

I got the free sample and I like it. Don't know if you "factory-original" guys will think it is a good match to the original... but I like the stuff and will pull it around both doors and inside the rear hatch... just for a better seal and to keep the doors from rattling at 130pmh! I just ordered 45ft. of the stuff. Thanks for the tip Ed!

I should post a pic of what it looks like by the end of the day! Bug guts, Tire rubber, & Dust. It's waiting in the garage now to get cleaned. I think we call the color "School Bus Yellow". -
Thanks all! Hard to get everyone together for a family photo. I think this one will make it in this years Christmas cards. -
It's was worth about 7ponies! I might try in at the track too. Also made it easier to turn on the in car video mounted on the roll bar, watching the gauges. -

Marty, if you use any solvent try it on the edge or somewhere it won't show incase it attacks to old plastics? "Goof-off" is mild & pretty safe. I also like using "Oops" I get it at Wal-Fart. So far oops has worked a little bit better than goof-off for me and never messed up anything I've painted with plastic model building. It smells gooood too.. :stupid: Older overspray may be little more difficult to remove than newer. Hope it is more recent from a sloppy painter?

Cool deal Marty! Glad to hear problem gone and had a perfect track day. We got back last night from our track day and was also awsome. Was worried about the rain we had the day before, but it cleaned up our track with 85 to 90 degree sun and puff white clouds in a blue sky. I'll put up a couple pics tomorrow. Everything worked great, cut 2 more seconds on my best lap times and still feeding off the high! An insullation gasket will do it I guess. You might be able to spray some starting fluid around intake gaskets, caps, hoses and such (caution flameable) to help find leaks. The motor will change in it's idle as the ether is taken in. But you might already know that... anyways... Thumbs up for a great track day! Cheers Craig
