Zrush

Yes, yes they did :eek: AND under the side skirt Vicky

Don't forget to clean the INSIDE of your tailpipe. The ZCCA judges at the 16th annual convention stuck their fingers up Zrushs' tailpipe.........with no cigarette afterwards . Fortunatly, I have great experience in cleaning and detailing cars and passed the tailpipe exam. The best way for you to make sure you've gone over everything is to print the judging sheets and go judge you're own car. If cleanliness plays such a big factor in such events, I believe that the show should be held on the first day. Many conventions have race days, cruises and other things prior to the show. Then you have to spend an entire day cleaning your car AGAIN or forfeit participation in other fun Z events. FWIW Vicky

Ed you can download the ZCCA rules from their official site www.zcca.org I do believe 26th-Z is going to be a judge for the upcomming convention in August. Vicky

Man that fuel rail is a thing of beauty. Mind if I ask what one would expect to pay for that? Vicky

Then those of us with mods aren't accepted here ? I don't have a V-8 or a 350Z so I figured I belonged here :nervous: Chris, I want to see you lift 120 pounds after drinking 18 beers. Just don't lift it near any of your Z cars Vicky

The 77 has headlight covers. I love 'em and I hate 'em. The car also has fog/driving lights mounted in the front aero kit. We have just upgraded the headlight bulbs to the "Cool Blues". Looks like the headlights on the new BMW's and Mercedes. That's a great mod for the Z, I think Vicky

On Saturday Night Live, Norm McDonald used to play Burt Reynolds on a Jeopardy skit. Sometimes the Burt Reynolds character would want Alex Trebek (Will Farrell) to call him "Terd Ferguson". That's the only other place I've heard and seen the spelling of that name. FWIW Vicky

They look good Ben. I know you've been wanting those for your Z for a long time. What are you doing with your slots, keeping them I hope. I'm still waiting for the body guy to prep my slots for the 240Z. I've grown tired of hub caps. I'm keeping them but need to add some jazz to the plain ol yeller Z. Vicky

What's that lever sticking up between the shifter and e-brake? Nice car but I really don't care for the g-nose. Vicky

Ed your Z does look good. Scott lowered his car almost 2 inches to go with that aerokit. Funny how that 350Z color looks soooooooo much better on an early Z. Can't wait to see it next year at ZFest. Vicky

Next time your speeding wear the pimp hat. Bet the cop will just ticket you for the hat . Vicky

Don't much care for pin striping on the sides of the Z but I think it looks OK around the buldge on the hood. I guess pinstripes and flames really don't belong on the Z car. If you look at a BP it does look kind of "busy" with all that striping. Vicky

Only ticket I ever got was in my 78 280Z, it was for tailgating. I was downshifting into second gear to stop for a red light. Couldn't have been doing more than 20mph. Bit the bullet and paid the $50 fine rather than fight it in court. Vicky

It's getting close now just in time with the rising gas prices. No rain in southern California in April, right? Vicky

Bubbles, since you had your engine opened for other work, you should have put flat top pistons in. Why did you stay with the dished? Just wondering Vicky

Sorry, I was trying to just attach the picture on my post. What did I do wrong? Vicky

Here's a picture of a genuine Scarab Bruce Bladon's car #2 (picture).doc

WRONG! The 77 280Z has alot of potential. Of course, it all comes down to money and how fast, or should I say, how much hp you want. It doesn't have to be a stroker or a Rebello to be a potent Z engine. We are lucky, in this area of Florida there are many talented hi-po engine builders with alot of Z knowledge. The guy that helped build my husbands 77 280Z also built engines for "Big Daddy" Don Garlits and he loved Z's. Cost, well we won't even go there, but the results are what my husband wanted. Vicky

Yes, I'm watching and reading. Mike, the best person to contact on all things Scarab is Bruce Bladon. He has a link on Carl Becks site. Bruce can provide original and genuine documentation. Remember that alot of the Scarabs people see are after market cars NOT produced by Brian Morrow. The other engine option was the 327 which is what I would like. I'm as passionate about the true Scarab as some members here are about Fairladys and early VINs. Before I die, I will own one! Vicky

Now that's funny! Better start feeling up a few legs & wings too Bill if you're going to be driving like that. Be careful or you're going to be looking for major parts like hoods and fenders. Vicky
