So I noticed they sell an " inner rocker" but its really a piece (not sure why) that is sandwiched between the outer and inner rocker. I really need the just the real inner part and the front, not the whole rocker. Anyone make it.

Hello everyone! It's been about a year since I purchased #187 from John H. of New York on BAT. Here's the link to the auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-datsun-240z/ There are many detailed photos of the car on there with a brief description of its history and condition. I was able to enjoy her in her raw state before beginning the restoration. She was a bit hard to start but ran good once she reached optimal temperature. The clutch was slipping a bit and finding the gears heading up the hill to my house was a struggle. With that said, it was time to begin the restoration. My mechanic is no other than Rod S. at Mike's Z Shop in Whittier, CA. Rod has b…

I'm somewhat anxious about this drop in temp. Haven't had the problem since 1989, now it's back. Hopefully there will be no damage if I just stay home. No early morning drives for me. Stay safe friends and have merry Christmas.

Hey all. Had a coolant leak and some work to do behind the timing belt (heli coil on the water pump bolts), so decided to take off the head gasket and take a look. car is new to me, so I figured it would be worth investigating anyway. Here are a couple of photos. Two questions: 1. How does this look? The second cylinder has some soot by the valves which matches deposits in the exhaust manifold as well. Four and five have more gunk on the block. 2. I was expecting the first cylinder to be up. Cylinder 4, though, is up instead. Have I messed up the timing? planning to clean off as much of the gunk as I can. Looks like quite a bit of rust from the coolan…

So, I have a 6/71 Z and have determined that it should have the cool keys... You know, the ones with round heads and painted black. Any of you hoarders (meant in a nice way 😀) willing to part with your original key blanks? Come on... You know you will never, ever actually need them. It will go to a very good new home 🙏 ... at Christmas 🎄 too. This key blank: Fat groove on bottom when key is pointing to the right. Thanks for looking.

For those who have rust free Z's (yea right) dont look. I have been working on my Japanese lunch box and the right front rocker is getting tricky. This is not going to be a 10 year on the jig project but not a bondo special either. I have a new outer front tip of a rocker, new inner front rocker and the new inner stiffener. The question is does the right kick panel come all the way down to the bottom of the rocker. I dont think it does. I cut away (pic) the outer part of the rocker and will try to grind to fit the new piece up in there and attach to the A pillar. Plasma really helps. This is a real ugly area to work on. p.s. also included is a pic of the inner rocke…
