  1. the paint is from a new company called "Auto Air Colors" And all info can be found at www.autoaircolors.com the paints are water based and clean-up is as easy as washing your hands in warm soapy water! They colors are incredible for being water based. they have over 200 colors available and they are very inexpensive. I love 'em. The yellow is an opaque "flame yellow" and the blue is an irredescent "Electric blue"
  2. everything you see was media blasted then painted or Por-15'd or zinc coated with my new Eastwood zinc plating kit. all new urathane bushings and new nuts and bolts. New stub axle bearings, wheel studs and brake hardware and shoes.

  4. Thank you very much for the compliments and good reviews, You've all made a hard week seem a little nicer!! I'm still working on the instructions and I'll even have instructional pictures with almost every step (that's what is taking so damn long :disappoin ) Funny thing is, that I NEVER MADE ONE FOR MYSELF . Except for the prototype that is in my Z, (which is'nt nearly as nice as the ones I built for you guys) So I'm making one more (for myself) and taking pictures, Making measurements and writing down suppliers and hints as I go. Give me a little more time, I'm working two jobs and trying to write this out for ya'll. Dave
  5. Hey guys and gals, It's Dave in Marysville WA. I'm sorry to inform all those who wish to purchace one of my "Headlight Relay Upgrade Harness's" in the future that I am no longer making them. They are too stressfull to make when running a household of 7, having suppliers raise their prices, and working 50+ hours a week. So please stop sending me money orders without emailing me first. I've already had to return three orders that people sent me without checking first. I will write a forum on the process of making the harness for your self. If anyone is interested in following in my footsteps and making the harness for all those who want one, please contact me at wolfin32z@yahoo.com Sorry again, Dave.
  6. the carbs were 3 of 12 that I had on the shelf and the manifold was was custom made from two sets of S.U. intakes that were also sitting around. I made the custom linkage and ground down the ballance tube to eliminate all the emision stands and un-essensial parts.
  7. Did you get NEW gland nuts (Strut housing cap) when you ordered the new struts? Reason I ask is, when I got mine it had a fat angled washer on the inside of the cap. I found that it was removable but kept mine in. My bolt also did not go down all the way but more than enough teeth made their way into the housing. I have a 70' 240Z so we may be talking apples and oranges.
  8. all new ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, springs, por-15 (silver) toyota 4X4 4 piston calipers and pads, T/C kit with urethane bushings, rebuilt control arm and urethane bushings

  20. BECAUSE THEY LOOK PRETTY!! And yes, they are going on a bigger motor. Like I said before, a 2.8 pushed out to about 3+ liters, big cam, big header and exhaust. As for the techs of the 60's, they could have been a bunch of snot nosed brats for all we know. I was quoting from (Z-car Magazine) I just did'nt think that every one was going to get their panties all twisted over 1 additional S.U. have a nice day :cheeky: Dave.
  21. What.... No comments on the intrecasies and labor that went into the build? No asking how I managed the linkage and such? the 61' Jaguar E-type and the 62' Austin Healey (3000 MK.II) ran triples side-drafts on their straight sixs and only dropped back down to 2 when the service guys whined about keeping them tuned. If any of you read the Nov/Dec 1997 issue of Z-car magazine (page 45-47) you'd see what I was shooting for. I tried to keep a stock appearence with the exception of the third float bowl. I understand if y'all don't like it but a little incurragement goes a long way. How many of these have you ever seen? The set-up will go onto a F54 block punched out 40 over with a stage 2 cam, electronic ignition with an MSD 6AL , knife-edged and ballanced crank, turbo oil pump, not real sure what head I'll run but it will be ported and polished and most likely have bigger valves with 4 or 5 angle grind on 'em. Center force 2 clutch, B/W T-5 (manual) tranni, R-200 posi diff, CV halve shafts, 84' Toyota 4-piston calipers in the front and 240 SX disc brake conversion in the rear. Full Energy Suspension Kit, 25mm sway in the front and 19mm in the rear, KYB struts and Eibach progressive rate lowering springs............ There's so much more but I'm way off subject here, NICE wheels. I might trade up some day and get some of those. I got 225/55R16's all the way around at the present time. Dave
  22. Those would look even sweeter with these under the hood, Dumb comment but what the heck, I just wanted to show em off. Nice wheels man!
  23. I put them on today and they run beautifully, not to mention how good they look INSIDE the engine compartent
