Man, that zinc plating looks great!!

Oh man, I didn't notice the dash cap. Too bad the guy expressing his knowledge isn't a bit more informative on his findings. Seems he is coming across a bit salty and the group isn't going for it.

Looks like a guy by the nickname datsunzpartz is ranting about the hood and rear taillights being incorrect... anyone see these issues ?

Here's another early series restoration -- already bid up to $44k with 6 days to go! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-37/

Yes, that looks nice!!

Thanks, do you have a web URL for their site?

Sure Steve, sounds great! I'd be glad to talk with him.

Welcome to the club!

Great, thanks @7tooZ

Yeah, I messaged him a few days ago..

Hmm, they didn't have an option to choose "Classic Zcar Club" for club affiliation... ?

Looks interesting...

Likely they tore off the bottom half when the car was delivered?

Looks like a receipt for the purchase of a 1977 280z with air conditioning and stereo added. Can't quite read the 3rd item, but, it looks like Coco mats were thrown in at no charge. Something else on the receipt about racing mirrors to be paid when installed or delivered?

Welcome to the club and congrats on the Z!

I already have a good lid, I just need the lower tray part because mine is busted on the corner. It must have happened during the restoration.. If you have one I would appreciate it.

Ugh, that seems to be the going price. There are a few on Ebay for that same price range. I hate buying from Craigslist due to scams but that is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the link.

Looks pretty good so far. Has some small bits of rust but for the price it’s not bad. The problem areas you can check will be under the floor mats and in the rear hatch area. Pull up the carpet / jute material and have a look.

Struggling a bit with "performance" options.. I did find some good options for "power" This one means "power/multiplication/record/counter for vehicles" This one is a bit more simple, meaning "power/strong/strain/bear up/exert" And this one is power/exponent

Thanks, I was hoping some of you could help out. I appreciate the feedback because I know definitions can get lost in translation. Essentially, my goal is to repeat the meaning from our slogan "Pride, Performance, Preservation" in the center, and the small symbols show that we are a "Classic Z Car Club" (although I could not find anything for Z). There were about three different symbols that I found when looking for the word pride. I wanted to stay away from the definition meaning arrogance, but, rather I steered toward the pride/respect direction. Here are three symbols for pride (according to the website I've been using to look these up - I'll link the site below). The 1st one means pride/respect, 2nd is pride/squatting with legs outstretched, and 3rd is pride/haughtiness. Ah, I didn't think about human performance versus mechanical object performance.. I'll see if I can find graphics for the ones you recommend. Here are three symbols for protect: I also found other suggestions, here's "guard/protect/defend/obey" and "safeguard/protect" Ah, got it... I can change the order no problem. Here's that link to the website I've been using for the symbols: http://redfinchjapanese.com/?action=kanji_dictionary

And how it looks on a Goshuin page.. ? (wife had me remove the black border around the Z in the middle of the logo.. (gotta love it when you get a 2nd opinion from the lady..)

And another idea...
