I had seen the Toyota on BaT and was going to post it up... Many of the cars from this era are too small for me. It one reason I probably won't ever have a Ferrari. The ones I can afford are too small. The 240Z is nice and roomy an anomaly of the day it seems

@wutsin I don't have a good answer for you. We are still working on getting that car on the road. So it doesn't have any miles on it yet...

200k seems like a stretch. I like it but it wouldn't be worth the cost of admission to me

I was thinking the oil drain plug was an SAE bolt thread?

What was the technique for the choke knob?

Thats not vapor lock. Different issue entirely Depends how high it climbs on whether its an issue or not. Lots of things can contribute to not being able to shed heat.

That's a lot of money in tools!

It's unfortunate so many cool looking concept cars don't get built or the coolness gets lost in the transition to production line

5 days, that's pretty good

Be careful of the lead fumes!

From the looks of it, it will break $46k but I doubt they will recoup the investment

Unless somebody has a donor section, you will have to fab up the sections you need. A good assortment of air grinders, burrs and Roloks will help

I worked on the heat shield/ cable bracket some more today. Here is the current pattern An earlier template on a piece of coil metal I glued it to piece of 16ga I had laying around A little cutting We will have to clearance it around some of the header pipes. Since it's an equal length header, they intrude on the carb area more than some We will use some stainless exhaust tube to deal with the clearanced areas. Once I finalize a design I will have sendcutsend fabricate it for me

I also got the tool covers from resurrected classics and got them installed A little nerve racking to bend the plastic hinges to mount them
