View Advert Polished 240Z intake This intake had the water jackets removed to clear headers. The intake was then polished to a nice shine. Needs a little clean up polish to really make it pop again. The interior casting has been smoothed out for better flow. Advertiser Marty Rogan Date 12/22/2020 Price $200.00 Category Parts for Sale

View Advert Series 1 Center Console This is a nice driver quality console. There are only a few minor stress cracks in the rear area, no big cracks. The mounting holes are slightly enlarged, but should not prevent you from mounting it. there are 2 small holes on the back, where an arm rest was probably mounted. You won't see those once it is installed. Shipping will probably be about $40, due to an oversize box. Advertiser Marty Rogan Date 12/22/2020 Price $200.00 Category Parts for Sale

View Advert Headlight Buckets These headlight buckets are in good condition. One is fiberglass and one is steel with no rust. A couple of the mounting screws will need to be repaired. Shipping will be extra. Let me know if you are interested. Marty Advertiser Marty Rogan Date 12/22/2020 Price $100.00 Category Parts for Sale

Does anyone know where the Atlas lifts are made? I emailed them once and they never responded.

I would think taking out a trans would be more difficult on a 4 poster. I have a race car that I am constantly doing brake work on. That would be easier on a 2 poster. Also, If I needed to drop the engine from underneath, that would be impossible with a 4 poster. Luckily, space is not a problem for me at this point, so I won't need it for storage.

What brand is your lift, and do you like it?

After multiple delays, the barn finally has heat!!!! I had a 150K BTU Modene heater installed in the corner. That should be plenty to make it toasty in there this winter. Now I can actually work on a car in the winter, vs just planning for work to be done in the spring. Next on the list is a 2 post lift. Has anybody heard anything good or bad about Olympic lifts?? I had not heard of them before. They have supposedly been around for 40 years. I saw a recent sale add that had some pretty good pricing. What kind of lift do you guys have?

Hi, I just saw this post. Unfortunately, I no longer have that car, so I can't measure it for you. I don't recall where I got the braided lines from either. Sorry, Marty

Well, I retired last month, so I finally had some time to build a work bench. I found a decent steel top, that was 8' x 3", which I ended up getting for free. Used 4"x4"'s for the uprights and 2"x4"s to tie it all together. Used 3/4" plywood for the shelf. I made the bench extra high so that I don't have to bend over to work on stuff. Also put it on casters so that I could keep flexibility in the shop configuration. I also picked up a really nice tire rack, so I don't have stacks of tires all over the place anymore. I will be getting the heater put in in the next few weeks. The lift is planned for the spring. That will about take care of building the shop. Now I need to find a new car project to work on!!!

I had them on my track as well. I did not have to add longer studs and never had a problem. I truly understand wanting the ability to swap out a caliper quickly. I never liked the idea of spacers on a car. Especially a track car.

Wow, that is quite a collection!!

I had the same problems when I mounted my Rewinds. I just ground the fin down and it was fine. Get the grinder out!

I figured it would be expensive. I have about 2,300 square feet, so that would be pretty prohibitive for me. I will have to figure out something. With all of that shine, does it get slippery when wet? Looks fantastic!!

Wow, that epoxy floor is so shiny, you can see 27th's reflect in it. Do you mind me asking how much the floor costed? I need to do something with my shop floor.

Hey Chris, Did you finish that garage yet??

Chicago and Suburbs covers a lot of ground. I can't tell from your location what part of the area you are in. I have used T&A Autobody in Lake Barrington (NW Suburb) for many years They have always done good work for me. Tell Archie I sent you. Marty

That is a really nice survivor!! Love the color too.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful car. Nice job on both counts!!

Yes it is. I knew Don back in the day when he was featured in a magazine article following his racing career. I believe he was a member of this site back then as well.

I think that car belongs to a guy I used to work with many years ago. He was a racer and lived in the Rockford area.

I know pricing on these cars has changed a lot of over the last 2-3 years or so, but $8K sounds like a lot for a car with that much rust. If it was driven for 8 years before being taken off the road, that could be 158K on it. He mentioned that he picked it up a year ago, so it is really a 2 owner car. I did a rusty Z once. I am not sure I want to do it again, unless I got an unbelievable deal on it.

That is a couple of hours away from me. We don't see many 240Z's for sale around here. For all you bodywork guys, how bad does that rust look to you? Are the quarter repair panels even available anymore? How about the rocker and dogleg panels? I actually have a rocker replacement panel on the shelf. I don't do bodywork myself, so I would have to hire that out and a paint job. But hey, for the price of a dresser, it might be worth it!

Those fixtures should light it up pretty well, and you have natural light from the windows too. I have 24 fixtures at 3810 lumens each. My wife said' "what, do you want it bright enough for surgery in there?" I said "Exactly!!!" I don't think you can go too bright. I have my lights on 3 zones, so I can turn some of them off if I want to. Mine is about perfect.

Looks like it is moving along nicely. What kind of lighting are you putting in?

I believe I found them on Ebay, but that was many years ago.
