Help! Eric needs core calipers... Orders are starting to roll in for caliper restorations and he needs spares to keep things moving. Watcha got and how much ya want?

Candlestick 2001, Scott Fraser driving. Is this the car Vic Sias won SII Nats in?

I'm not sure why anyone should be concerned about powder coating temperature with aluminum sill plates. 400 degrees F is less than 1/3rd the melting temperature of aluminum. Yes you can powder coat in clear and a chrome look powder.

Hand wraps!

80 looks fast!

tlorber, I'm thinking of doing this in my Z. The Porsche is a bit too unruly for 1000 miles of civilization. Do both the driver and codriver need to register?

Sounds like you'll be busy taking pictures of your own... Congratulations!

Now come on out and do the Targa California with me. 1000 miles in three days!

Steve Parmley just posted this on his Facebook page. I think it is the coolest BSR pic I have ever seen!

Kacrow, If you're talking about mine thanks, but I use my regular window cranks...

Bryan, I think only Pete from Strictly914. Les has a guy and they are working on integrating the metal top and the panel but I think it might be a ways off. I wont say anymore than that publicly.

Bryan, I think some people are doing custom vinyl upholstery on the fiberglass core. Mine is using Les' vinyl reproduction so it does have the chrome.

Bryan, Not without sacrificing the old door panel. My one good one is, well - good. I didn't want to rip the vinyl off. I did take measurements for the position of the inside door pull and the other holes are pretty simple. You just mount it up and you can see through it to drill the holes where they belong. As you can see, mine does have the chrome strip.

Steve, My car isn't 'exclusively' a track car, but the euro dampner has been on there for years and I wind it out pretty good. No problems. That aluminum one is not going to come apart. It's solid.

Steve, I have two of the Euro dampners that Datsun sold out of the comp department. I also have some alloy pulley that I think they also sold. I don't really know what they're worth but if you need it, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement... Oh, I have an extra of that comp pulley bolt too...

I should have quoted him. I was responding to tlorber's gloat that while you are putting your car away, he is going on drives in the Angeles Crest Highway... "We have a new years day run planned through Angeles Crest. Sorry..."

Electromotive - Devendorf car...

You can eliminate the distributor with EDIS or other such crank fired method. I agree with Steve though, biggest problems will be uneven distribution and pooling.

This happened two years ago when the 914 guys went up to the Angeles Crest... Oh, and if it wasn't for that rock, this would have made the news. It is a very long ways down.

I've seen that video Jon, pretty cool. Chapman sure spends a lot of time tossing his cap around! 8)

A famous Datsun name or two in the Willow Springs Track Records...

A couple BSR cars from back in the day...

Smile for the camera!

Adam Carrolla tried to buy it. They were a ways apart as I recall. It could well be sold. What I am saying is that Bruce Canepa or Les Canaday might be interested in the parts from a vintage race car. Bruce might also be able to put you in touch with the new owner.

It is now owned by a restoration shop in Scott's Valley California. I am quite certain they would want the parts. They maintain a warehouse of rare and historic parts. Bruce Canepa is the name of the owner and I think you can just search Canepa Restoration.
