CanTechZ Posted June 16, 2014 Share #61 Posted June 16, 2014 Very nice looking 10 footer! Thanks, the body and paint was done in the early '80s and the paint is definitely showing it's age, some faded and checked areas. Luckily the rust repairs are holding up well, as the car is parked for winter. One day I hope to do a re-paint back to the original 918 orange. Your '72 looks very nice, and only 5% to go, wish I could say the same. Aren't those last few points always the hardest.

siteunseen Posted June 22, 2014 Share #63 Posted June 22, 2014 I finally have a car that I'd be proud to show off. I've been holding off on coming over because of that fact. I'll be at one of the Fall meetings for sure and can't wait to meet you Steve.

SteveJ Posted June 22, 2014 Share #64 Posted June 22, 2014 Just bring it out to meet with us. No one is going to turn you away because of how your car looks. At least be sure to make it out to Z Nationals. Heck you might be closer to Z1 than I am.

siteunseen Posted June 22, 2014 Share #65 Posted June 22, 2014 At least be sure to make it out to Z Nationals. Heck you might be closer to Z1 than I am.Is that at Barber's? I live 2 blocks off highway 411 that runs into highway 78 that goes to the track. 45 minutes from my house. Or at Talladega's road course? 30 minutes from my house. I'll google that for more information. Thanks Steve.

Hunter260Z Posted June 25, 2014 Share #68 Posted June 25, 2014 Started cleaning on a right rear suspension piece (spare) for my 260z. Removed about 75% of the grease and oil that was left from a busted rear shock.Next on the list the A/C unit.

SteveJ Posted July 6, 2014 Share #69 Posted July 6, 2014 It was another Caffeine & Octane day. There were almost as many S130s as S30s today. Among the highlights for Z cars was a black pearl with original paint. It shined up nicely, too.

Stanley Posted July 10, 2014 Share #70 Posted July 10, 2014 Yesterday, on the way to do some work near LAX I saw this parked near the road. So on the way back stopped at the "Proud Bird" and checked them out. I'd hoped the MIG was one of those that China sold for $150K back in the 90's, in flying condition with legal lights, etc. (shipping n.i.c.), but no. No engine etc., but still cool. When Col. Chuck Yeager tested the first one captured back in the fifties, he called it the best plane he ever flew. It out-flew the F-86 in almost every respect (according to an F-86 pilot I talked to), but the F-86 was the superior war machine due to it's guns, gunsights, pilot protection, and pilot training. Also, that futuristic orange thing is the bell X-1, first supersonic plane, also piloted by Yeager. Also saw P-51's, WWI planes, etc. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/48189-2014-what-did-you-do-towith-your-z-today/?page=6#findComment-451373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanTechZ Posted July 12, 2014 Share #72 Posted July 12, 2014 Was cleaning out the garage today and found my Candar Ski Rack, a dealer add on accessory from 1979, price was C$30 plus C$24 labor to install. Anyone else found any cool period accessories lately.
