3 pointsSite --- You bring up a very good point. I'm the events coordinator for the Austin Z club and so have been very involved in the planning of this event for next year. As it turns out, a number of us brought up this same suggestion for basically the same reason (heat) and we did consider doing something both earlier as well as later in the year. A couple of reasons drove the decision to host it in June. First, it was felt that doing it outside of summer would significantly impact the level of attendance that we would get as that tends to be a time when people take vacations from work. Second, June in Austin is typically very nice and not like Memphis. I was at the Memphis event and it was brutal especially given the high levels of humidity. Typically Austin is not like this especially in June. Over the last few years we have had great weather in June with temps in the 80's and 90's but with very low humidity. I agree that July would have been closer to a Memphis experience (without the high humidity) and so that's why we targeted June. In any case, hope that helps to explain the thought process that went into this. Hope to see a lot of you there next year. It should be a fantastic event. Mike.3 points

1 pointAustin, Sounds good. Lot's of great roads with in reasonable distance and really high speed limits... @Mike W My wife is from Fredericksburg so we should make it. She suggested a road route out that way through the hill country. A number of vineyards out that way too...1 point

Just keep in mind that it may have a shelf life, due to the acetone evaporating away over time (leave a small bowl of acetone out sometime and see how fast it vanishes). Although I've used this DIY mix, I can only say that it doesn't work any worse than any of the other penetrating oils I've tried -- and it costs a lot less. Overall, though, I had only limited success any of the penetrating oil (and WD40 is useless). Fasteners that have finally been coaxed free using an impact tool showed very (very) little oil penetration below the surface, even after repeated applications and having sat for days beforehand. I like heat (controlled) and impact (also controlled). That's just my experience, though. Your results may vary.1 point -
1 pointThe shop I use said not to bring him the seats. He said he has a selection of over 120 different seats that he prefers to use. He has done many Datsun heads.1 point -
Many members, including me, have found a fifty-fifty mix of acetone and auto. trans. fluid to be an excellent penetrating oil.1 point -

1 pointSome of these might be repeats but all good. I have never seen so many Z's in one place before, it was a real candy store. I only had so much memory on my camera so these are a few of the car shots I took, the rest of the pics are in the wheels section.
