do you know what type of beads they used ?

I got the paint yesterday and will be spraying today.Here are a few pics before will send later pics when finished.Thanks for all the help. Ronnie

That looks just like it .Thanks I am heading to the paint store right now.I will post some before and after pics later.

I waited to long to get my paint and now the weather is perfect for about two days to squirt it.I can't find the code for the 71 yellow I want. if anybody knows what it is I would be greatful.I have a picture to go by.

I bought some parts from a guy a month or so around the Buford area that said he was selling the second oldest 240 in existance.I don't remember what he was asking but it was way out of my league.He said he had been working on it for years and had been collecting nos parts for years.He had several rooms full of parts still in the boxes.It was like christmas to me.I spent 1700 dollars and only one box full of parts.I saw the dash in the box but I was out of money.I bought cloth hoses,new starter,distributer and a lot of small stuff.He said he had some parts he wanted to see if Jim Fredrick or Carl Beck wanted before he sold a lot of it.I was happy with what I got so it seemed legit to me.I was there for over an hour looking and drooling.

I don't know if this will work on dashes,But it worked great on repairing a few consoles and a lot of ashtrays.After filling the holes and cracks with JB weld I bought some silly putty and flattened it out while a little warm,then laid on flat part of console.I rolled it out until it left a good impression of texture and put in refrigerator until it became stiff.When the JB weld was almost hard I pressed the silly putty firmly but evenly over area I was working on for a few seconds and evenly lifted it back off.It left a perfect texture look.After the JBweld hardened I used the correct paint to match.It has been a couple years and I can't tell where it was repaired.I don,t know why this won't work on a dash? Ronnie

I am not sure what LMN stands for but at our house it means THE PROZAC CHANNEL. Ronnie

What Z car club will be there? or is it agroup of Z fans? Ronnie

I don't know when they changed but my low vin door hinges did not have an indention to keep the door from fully opening.You have to push the doors past the notch to fully open the doors. Ronnie

Arne you have a great idea and are doing a great job. I know we all appreciate what you are doing. If you have time would put a red pin in Monticello GA for ONUTHIN 1970 240Z Thanks again Ronnie

I don't know where it came from but it took me yesterday and today to remove a virus from my computer.I thought it was gone yesterday except there was a box on my desktop with an a in it.This morning I woke up to loud heavy metal music playing for no reason. I don't know why because I don't listen to that kind of music.I pulled up history and it showed a line of A's over and over. I updated my AVG and everything seems fine.It also kept showing an ad for virus 2009 all over the screen that would not stop popping up.It is gone now.

I might be crazy but hopefully next week I will be finished with my dream vehicle,1964 chevy c-10 shortbed. 230 six cyl, 3 on the tree completely stock.It will be one of my just putting around town trucks. Here is a couple of pictures of what I am expecting it to look like except mine will have the original hubcaps. I will post pics when finished.

I just bought some nos parts yesterday.I told my wife I was planning on buying about 150 to 175 dollars and asked if she had that much cash on her.She didn't so she gave me a check in case I saw something else I just had to have.In 1 hour I spent just over 1700.00 dollars and didn't buy but a fraction of what I wanted.Since my car will never be in concource condition,I couldn't justify spending 10,000 in parts that I already have that can be refurbished for a fraction of that.For some one doing a full restoration275 dollars for 2 true old style radiator hoses might be a good deal but it was a little much for me. Ronnie

Some may think it crazy but it cost me 110 dollars each for 2 reproduction throttle knobs.That includes my donation to the club but I was glad to get them at any price.If there were no reproduction knobs what else could I do.My Z will never be in a concourse show but it looks great to me.

It might not not make sense to a lot of people but that is what I win. I want her to drive my Z so she will want to go on long drives thru the mountains and down to the coast.Go out and explore all the back roads for miles around here and feel the great freedom you can only get in a Z (or some motorcycles). It is fun to do this by yourself but it will be great to share it with the one you love. To me she is the brunette next door. But the answer to your question is not what I win but what I lose.If I don't lose the weight I have to finish remodeling the bathroom I started on a year and a half ago before I can start restoring my yellow Z.
