    How did you plate the fuel and brake lines?
  2. 26th-Z
    Yep! Early inspection lids.

    I have one of their tanks - an early one peculiar to my cars. Very nice quality.
  4. 26th-Z
    Sure, Mike. Thanks. cwenzel@earthlink.net

    I'm interested.

    I thought about powder coating the suspension pieces and opted to go back to the original paint finish for authenticity reasons. I would encourage you to try to stay to the "original restored" side of your project rather than replacement items and "over-restored" finishes. For instance the crankshaft comment. Just have the machine shop balance the original. You are going to find that the early original pieces are very unique. I see you have an early gas door knob.

    The cushion is just compressed into the L shape from the hood resting on it.

    Yea, I see Bill Reagan signed in with a couple of long blurbs. I bought his book a long time ago. I would probably do the same, xs10shl, do-dad the car with correcter bits. I wouldn't take much.

    So where are the bets on the Franklin Mint car? Will it sell?
  10. 26th-Z
    They have a bad rap. And not so undeserved from what I read. I have never seen one of their cars but their pictures look nice. I don't think they are doing "restorations" any better than a number of people including zspert. I try to keep up.

    Oh, I wouldn't say free fall. It's depressed, certainly, and I agree with Carl that the buyers just aren't there like they used to be. I think that car, bluez, was well priced and needed a bunch of work to make it worth more.

    I'm watching that one on eBay but I don't need most of it and all of it will have to be re-plated anyhow. TerrapinZ, I'm interested in the red one or perhaps the greasy pair in the middle? Sending you message. Thanks

    Looking for the lower door striker, passenger side (right) that bolts on to the body. In good condition, please. I have both of the big C shaped things. Just can't find the lower. WTF? Any suggestions of parts people / sources would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I have been watching news from the auctions out west. There does appear to be a softening of the market in general. I saw an S30 at Mecom not sell for a $20,000 high bid. No details on the car other than the high bid.
  15. 26th-Z
    This is a really nice example, very well restored from the looks of it. Anxious to see how soft the market seems to be right now.
  16. 26th-Z
    That's a reasonable price; get it. I think you will find that it fits on your car.
  17. 26th-Z
    Based on the reputation of the seller, I would say good to go.
  18. 26th-Z
    Nice little bag, but I doubt seriously that it is "original equipment". It is certainly not the key holder described in the parts manual.
  19. 26th-Z
    You gotta get into VIN numbers above 600 for engine blocks in the 3600 range.
  20. 26th-Z
    I had a similar thought, Alan, however my USA and Canada parts catalog lists E4101 initially.

    Ok, I can chime in on this one. Had the same issue with 26th and 27th. Z Car Depot sells two different part number stencils for the mustache bar. I bought them so that I could make a stencil for the correct number, and the correct number for HLS30-00051 IMO. 55450-E4101 https://zcardepot.com/collections/tools/products/mustache-differential-bar-part-number-stencil-r180-r200-240z-260z-280z?_pos=1&_sid=ccde6f856&_ss=r# Also, if you want to get real accurate, there is a 1/4" yellow stripe across the bar just to the right of the part number. It's not a brush stroke, it's sprayed on.
  22. 26th-Z
    That is part # 80848-E4100 "Crimp-Harness Step Lamp
  23. 26th-Z
    26th has two of those dents on the passenger (right) side of the spare tire well. November car. I'll post a picture soon when I look at 27th.
  24. 26th-Z
    Oh, congratulations! You should have a lot of fun putting that back together. Zed Head, we call them 69s because they were built in 1969.

    Lime Rock, 1971?
