So there's the guy that didn't spot weld my door right. :laugh: Wouldn't you just love to just pull one of those bodies right out of the photo? Where did you get the assembly line photos?

It was an awesome convention, and an awesome first convention for me. I enjoyed meeting some of the folks I've known here for years. I probably passed some of you not knowing who you were, sorry. I think I accomplished everything I had hoped to this past week. It was great finally meeting you guys, Ron and Carl. We should have had out handles on our badges. Maybe next time.

I'll be staying at the overflow hotel, if anyone wants to look me up. I'm arriving tomorrow evening.

I'll be there. If you see me, say hi. No guarantee I'll know you, but I want to meet you all anyway.

Super job, looks great.

Looks like the back windows doesn't have the defogger wires either.

I heard they don't do anymore for performance then a larger exhaust.

Haggerty is cheap cause they'll bearly let you back your car out of the driveway. It's for shows only, preferably trailered. At least that's the way they sounded to me. I use Nationwide.

How about the rubber bumpers for the hood? Are they still availabe from Nissan?

I think it's a product of poor quality rubber used by the Japanese in the days of yore. Their probably made from the same drawing. I recommend using synthetic grease, which will likely be less harsh on the rubber boot. The ES boot is probably a good idea. Original look or not, it's a safety part.

Those don't look like stock wheels to me.

Who else replaced that nylon coupling that goes into the side of the filler neck? It seems to break in tension due to the spiral nature of the failure. I just use a piece of copper pipe, never had a problem since.

Expect to spend a lot on the body and paint work. If the floor is rusted out, then other areas are likely rusted out as well (some you may not see). Spending $10,000 on body and paint is not uncommon. Then there are the seats, carpet, weatherstripping, engine, suspension..... It's worth it, but just be prepared.

I believe the 432 rear spoiler sold by Les Cannaday has the flat spot on the drivers side where the emblems belong.

I didn't realize they had any blue on blue in '71. I would have guessed a white interior.

Interesting, maybe an Eclipse?

http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/ Here are lists by year. Pick your favorite year and see what the top hits were.

The 70-71 cables were different from the 72-73 cables in the console area. The early Z choke lever assemblies were beefy and reliable. The later Z had to move the levers to the side due to a transmission change. These assemblies tended to put too much pressure on the plastic console eventually cracking them. No, you cannot buy any old Z choke cable assembly. As someone stated people came up with ways to beef up the later Z console mounting location. When I purchased my replacement at the dealer (long ago) it included the throttle lever cable assembly used in the 70 240Z, and later blanked off for the 71 model. This is the way they sold it, and might be the same today, don't know.

Drink a beer.

I looked over some of our oldest members and determined that I'm #2 in number of posts after Mike. I still have a long ways to go to beat you Mike, but keep an eye in your rear view mirror. :stupid:

Hey Dave, just use a can of the fix-a-flat on all four tires and you'll be ready for the track.
