  1. @Marine240zIs that a Harrier?
  2. I like to see the win-win. If the car is worth 15k and he sells it for 13k great, everybody is happy. If the car is worth 15k and he sells it for 8k he took a 47% hit. One's really happy and one got taken advantage of. If it was Jai selling Redbird and she offered her car at a 50% discount would we be supportive of somebody taking advantage of her ignorance. Would we fault her for re-evlauating since she lives on limited means and the difference in cash would be huge to her....
  3. Oh, I think the run down van with tinted windows is much scarier...
  4. I have sort of stayed out of this discussion but I tend to agree with @rdefabri if someone is ignorant of a fair price and then reconsiders their asking price, I don't hold that against them. Why should they hurt their family for a complete stranger, that may or may not complete the sale? The OP mentioned something about college tuition at some point. Also I take some of the "I'll take it" like I view everything on the internet; not a done deal until it's a done deal. People back out on Ebay sellers all the time after they agree to buy a car and that's with Ebay to try to help prevent that. What is the difference between a seller not completing a sale versus taking advantage of a sellers ignorance to the tune of 50-80%? To me it is merely perspective...
  5. Are you thinking about Arne?

    I have a one owner 56 bug in my shop. Next in line for restoration, if I live that long
  7. Good luck with vise grips. Oxygen sensors can become very stubborn from heat and sometimes rust. They make special wrenches for them but you can probably come up with something better. I would try open/ boxed end wrenches or even a large adjustable wrench. Then would go to channel locks before I went to vise grips, leverage is your friend...
  8. Well we know the future for HLS30-4068
  9. I believe they are all double flair. I think that is the way I made mine, but hopefully someone can confirm that
  10. 240+ HP and 160 FtLbs of torque aught to push a Z chassis around pretty well. I would think it would have a different feel more HP, less torque...
  11. @Mike I assume only the original poster can see the "sold" button?

    Where in Dixie? Is that your split window bug in the background?
  13. @SteveJ The valve cover looks good. Are you ready for me to ship you one yet?
  14. I have mixed emotions about this. I am a big "personal responsibility" guy but the management had to know that poor desperate people would make questionable decisions. I think as a business owner I would feel really bad if someone ruined their body for $60....
  15. The last picture showing the radiator hanging down is behind the air dam, with the stock valence a lot more is exposed...
  16. Patcon replied to Pomorza's topic in Interior
    I think Redbird has a similar problem...
  17. Be careful of the height on a replacement radiator. If it sticks up too high it will contact the hood. If it hangs down too low, it can take a rock if you don't run an airdam...
  18. I don't know off the top of my head. An aluminum 240 radiator might fit. Best idea is to get some dimensions from a vendor and see if you think it will fit
  19. The 280z radiator is bigger if I remember correctly. You will need to make your new rails match the shape of the old rails
  20. Jai, Miracles are good...
  21. Piece of 4" PVC?
  22. How did he make the curved upturned edges? Metal shrinker?
  23. Happy Thanksgiving Jai I am glad you are still having fun in your car I am thankful for my family, all good, all healthy and plenty of work for my business C
  24. I would think that is a typo, $14k maybe???
