Looking for measurements on the following. This is an early VIN car under 1000, not sure if that matters if its series 1-3. Thanks.

Never spent time around 280z. I always thought the major change was just the US bumpers. Thank you.

Here are two valances, one is recognizable, the other is not. The brackets on the short one are definitely Datsun, but too short for 240z.

Maybe, I was referring to the Judge that would be handing you a sentence after perforating a thug.

Yes. I own a few firearms, and knowing when to deploy them will keep you from queuing up for chow for 10-30 years. Nobody has a sense of humor nowadays.

Congratulations!

No expenses spared on this one. One question, is this going to be a driver? YOu have set the bar here.

Not sure its wise, but with all my vintage cars I have owned, I've always left them unlocked (short term stay). I figured since I dont leave anything worth value in my cars, its better to let them get in and rummage and leave, instead of sourcing windows, fixing scrapped paint and dents. Like Speed Racers brother said, if someone wants in, there getting in, might as well soften the blow and cost. I do like some of the camera tech thats out there now that records on any bump of the car or break in.

I always liked pulling the rotor.

Its bolted to a frame jig. About half way through the video's he put it on the jig and straighten the car than started cutting the front.

Yes it is. That dude is amazing.

Its for 260, but the bottom piece I'm looking for seems very close to working wtih a little massaging. That NOS, hate to cut it up.

I have been watching a video series on youtube from Japan of a 240z restoration, and they found one somewhere. I'm pretty sure it was a new piece since there werent any drill holes and cuts in it. Been working on other areas of my 73 restoration and mentally put that panel on the backburner figuring I'd have to scratch build it.

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket replacement panel for the lower inboard radiator support?

Cool grill. The bumper looks askew.

I know you really dont mean that.

I was just giving a recount of my experience, not saying I gave her a ration of crap about it. Cruel seems a bit over the top. Since I'm on airliners every other week, it also threw me for a loop when a woman boarding an airplane said I was too close to her. I mentioned that we will be sitting within inches of each other for the next 3 hours, and she replied "yeah I know, but you're still to close". There's no reasoning with this type of attitude. Seeing societal evolution take many steps back is unsettling. Again, I was just giving recount, no slight against her, just odd.

I guess I'll end my subscription to the Enquirer then, here I thought all along that Elvis was a Martian from Jupiter, darn.

No, me saying I wasnt wearing a mask was not intended as being mean spirited, I was just setting the situation as why this woman behaved that way, you know, ridiculously. I also am not trolling, If I wanted to say something I would, but even then this is not the correct format for that kind of exchange. I was not goading you for a response in a negative way. Were talking about a virus, you seem to be talking about something else that has orbited covid since about the beginning. Viruses are bad, you to act as if a person, government, individual has any control over it is kind of silly. You are 100% correct, what I had said above does illustrate vaccinations and precautions, but my story about my family was before there was a vaccine. Not that it matters, but no where did I say vaccine bad or good.

This is called living life. Some see living life differently than others. There are so many variables to covid. My 80 year old mother in law who is overweight, diabetic, and elderly stayed in her house for 2 months at the beginning of this, until she said screw it, "this is not living, I'm done" she said. When my wife and I had covid and didnt know it, We had spent time with her for a few days and she never had one symptom or issue (pre vaccine). My wife was really sick for 3 days and I felt like I was catching a cold off and on for 3 weeks. My point is, people as individuals have to make the call on what they believe is correct, arguing on levels from Federal to personal is wearing thin on many, and graphing from California, Australia, China is great, but is the end game to pit one group against another? Australia gave up on their goal of locking down the nation until 70 or 80% vaccinations because they realized that it was going to do more harm than good. I'm in Vancouver, WA today, and was out for a walk during the morning cool, and this woman walking towards me on the sidewalk quickly donned her mask and looked at me like I had snakes coming out of my ears, no I didnt have a mask on. What kind of world are we creating, and what are the positives of it?

Good looking car. Cant wait to see more pics.

So neat. I had a Silver 72, one of many 240z's I have owned. Looks beautiful.

I remember the early 80s well when my Social studies teacher said be careful at the water fountain because you may get AIDS from it. One thing is for sure, covid protocols have zero consistency. Example; you couldn't got to church, but you could ride an airliner for hours sitting shoulder to shoulder. Correcting ignorance is not a fair statement when there's been nothing but contradictory info and contradictory protocols for over a year and a half.
