My 4/1971 Z has the bottom style.

Less ethical would be my guess. As sellers, they must have had some success catching a buyer who doesn't do due diligence when searching for parts and price comparing. Either that or they don't really want to part with the parts. Experience tells me they just want to catch the random uninformed buyer and don't care about establishing an ongoing vendor/customer relationship.

They mentioned that some male reproductive organs don't show externally and they want to avoid any future misunderstanding. Personally, I think a Milk Bone Biscuit tattoo would be more appropriate than the straight line.

Cliff, here's a dog tattoo video for your viewing pleasure. https://www.aspcapro.org/resource/video-spayneuter-tattoo-application

Rough when you have a job that you can't do from home when you have to quarantine and feel well enough to get on with life.

I use a Studebaker mechanic's fender protector that I've had for decades. You can get a Summit Racing one here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-3619?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0KmPBhBqEiwAJqKK4_3wvyOTSMops8wieCQvdKZVA8EBRKX_WeZ4JRrt1wVBMQJZr_rWBBoCu-8QAvD_BwE

Just be sure to wear your tin foil hat when you Google the terms and you'll be fine. 😎

Baking soda and water will neutralize the acid. Sand and repaint the rusted area and you're good for another 52 years.

If you look, again, at Charles' post you'll see that he didn't ask how much the Z cost, only a "Ballpark" number which could be something nonspecific like more than $20K and less than $50K without giving away too much detail. I also understand folks being touchy about what they pay for things. Play nice, move on.

Other than last week when it seemed to be off line for a day or so, it's no slower than usual. Maybe I just have low expectations.

Is the body kit bolted on, bonded on to stock metal panels, are stock panels cut? Lots of possibilities.

Keep on top of it and get rest. Speedy recovery.

Solid, quiet, ride. Very nice.

My TRS-80 had no way to access the internet. But, that was OK because in 1983 I didn't know what internet or email accounts were. I could save programs on floppy disks that were floppy or on a cassette tape recorder. It was a simpler time. No cable TV, cell phone, satellite radio, or internet monthly bills.

Certainly not a Millennial, but I recognize it as the five piece version of my first computer which was a trusty TRS-80 dual drive like the one below. Bonus points to the Millennial who knows what "TRS" meant without Googling it.

With age, properly functioning emission controls and vapor recovery become more important. 😎

Maybe do something about the sagging rear end and stinky exhaust, too. 😎

Charles, if I didn't live 2,289 miles away, I'd drop by and help you sand.

Stay strong. It will all work out.

Daytona Beach Florida.....whenever I've visited there, I've had to clean airborne salt off of the car. Apparently those Z owners didn't.

You can strengthen the area be adding a layer of fiberglass cloth/resin to the backside of the crack. That may stop the crack from spreading. I did that with cracks on my center console and it worked nicely./

And a little Armor All will make that upholstery look as good as new. 😎

Looks like the value of the old Nikki core I put in a box years ago just went up.

My 1970 Porsche 914-6 has a hand throttle. Handy for warming the engine, less handy as cruise control.

Motorsports Auto has the headlight covers and probably emblems you're looking for. Are you looking for headlight covers with chrome trim or just "bolt on"?
