All the fly-by-night outfits are in Oregon. No wonder.

Only gutless weenies change the color from original. Put a 350 in it next with a Mr Gasket shifter.

I was thinking of eventually have tinting installed professionally.

Ugh, I don't think we're going to repaint the entire car for this.

Sounds nice, any engine mods?

Seems to me you shouldn't have to cut around on your car for an MSA part.

Yes, it's back to the paint shop. After leaving the paint shop for the auto shop, the car was place on a lift and examined. Guess what was discovered? All the surfaces that face the ground was not painted properly, some merely coved in overspray. Anyone car to guess why? That's right, the painter was too lazy to bend over to get the bottom surfaces. You would have to lay on the ground to look up under the car to see this screw up. Am I frustrated after waiting 3 years for this car to come out of the paint shop? You damn straight I am. :disappoin This is absolutely outrageous! :mad: I'm beginning to think I'll never get this car back.

Amazing, hard to believe Rock Auto has carpet kits for an old Z.

Les, keep up posted on the development of these panels. I'm interested.

I thought you could still buy these knobs.

I purchase all the seat components from Les, and have completed one seat. So far is lookd pretty good, though there is a little wrinkle down the seat back. I need to replace support strap, since the stuff I used to fix it the first time seems to crack with age. What I used was similar to the original but not quite as thick nor covered in nylon.

Where did you get it?

Why aren't you using it?

Anyone ever had fun with Part # 16, the plastic tee? Had a torsional crack (tension failure) in it, and replaced with a plumbing part.

Will this work for a 240Z? Which Z do you mean?

Yeah, I was going to mention Dave's wiring harnesses, which allow you to go with upgraded lighting systems. The harness I bought from him is an extremely clean installation and good quality.

What kind of springs and inserts are you getting?

That's really nice.... a stock engine.

Well the SU is a variable venturi, constant velocity carb. So theoretically the air volumetric flow rate varies proportional to the fuel flow (i.e., tapered metering pin and orifice), while the air velocity remains constant through the range. The intent is to give your smooth power throughout the range. Fixed venturi carbs have multiple jets, mutiple venturis (barrels) to adjust to changing engine requirements. Air velocity changes with demand.

Okay, that works.
