Storing Z
Tires: smear lightly with lanolin so they don't dry out, then store in a trash bag. Battery: The cold won't hurt, but HEAT will. Storing on the concrete is OK, but if the acid leaks ( non-sealed batteries) you get pitting. That's why you don't store on the concrete!

Z car Insurance Deal
Is that only for show cars? My plan is to do some mechanical restoration (obviously), the GTO body kit, and maybe in the end, engine rebuild with trans swap. Also, I would upgrade the interior with period-correct materials & looks for a late 60's enzo. Just got the liability for now, so i can drive from service station to body shop thx

Tension Rod question
I guess some people have all the bad luck, huh?

Tension Rod question
That's how I see it. the PU bushing is so firm, it would be like a solid metal block, so the tension rod HAS TO BEND with the up/down of the wheel. The flexing stresses the weakest part, the stepped/threaded end,and after so many flexes, it breaks. So you put in the softer rubber bushes to absorb & allow the flexes. Just remember to buy extra sets, so you can replace them after so many years, in case they will be NLA...:disappoin

Z car Insurance Deal
the same people have lots of money to afford reinforced ( as in bricks & lumber), enclosed storage. What's so bad about a steel building, steel garage or modern "pole barn"?

Z car Insurance Deal
Is there an advantage to having your Zed as a second car on your primary insurance (for the daily driver)? I know I got a discount because I use the same ins. provider as my mom & dad's vehicles (multicar discount).

Z car Insurance Deal
My problem is that I don't have a garage for storage, so mine sits in the driveway in front of the house. Usually with the cover on.

The signatures idea is a good one tho. Better than "Datsun"
-
Dashboard Decoration
First you said you had both signaturees, and then you posted two attachments, so I figured those were them. The perspectives made them look different. the sun visor one was better, but it won't be easy to isolate it.

Sorry, bud. Open containers aren't allowed in cars. Drinking and driving isn't allowed, either.
