I trust that she'll be wearing boy shorts, hard to tell from that pic? And her umbrella may be south of her belly button so as long as I'm laying on the ground bring her on! I'm a good tipper tell her.

I found one that's copper with rubber inside for a tight seal around the threads.

Wishing I was at Z Con, but installed my seats and door panels
In my, limited to CZC.C and Memphis, experience they are "Good 'ole Boys" with an accent. I guess I could be another Jim, my middle name is James? That's a club I'd like to be part of too. Zama Jim!

New front bearings won't go on the spindle
Blue's tip was to polish it with a Scotch-Brite pad. I did that and had no issues that I can remember. Driving the races on square was the hardest part and that wasn't too bad as I recall. Good luck for better results today.

Hell of a good time, 100%!!! Ole Buddy loves car rides so for sure him and Millie? would hang out. He has no balls so nothing to worry about there. He sorta acts like my other dog Jelly, female, very loving and sweet. Thank you Guy, I hope this works out like you and I need it to.

Hell yeah! Y'all can stay with me, 2 hour drive. That would be like a Georgia meet they had a few years ago and everybody drove west on I-20 to Barber's Motorsports track and museum. That would be awesome, right down the street (figuratively). But they'd probably get Road Atlanta, makes more sense now that I catch my breath.

That's not that bad. I've owned much worse '72 240 and sold it for $6,000. If that means anything. The best shot for me is under the battery. That can be a tricky spot with the acid eating up the fuel lines. I ran rubber from the slave cylinders location to the fuel filter. Tabco has replacement panels for what you've shown in your pics.

My bad. The red Zs must've been Coffee and Cars or caffeine and cars. Humid, you'll agree! My dehumidifier's pulling 1.5 gallons a day. Thinking of hooking up a hose and run it out my dog's flap door.

Hood not lining up correctly
I used the same size spacers, folded cardboard pieces, on both sides and loosened the bolts at the hood hinges to get it straight. Don't loosen them too much though or you'll fight it all day. Learned that the hard way. Edited. Your's look like a fender alignment issue maybe?

Let us know then, please. I'm ready for another parking lot party with Tidy Cat coffee tables. You may want to stay out that way for another day, we're having a sauna wave over here. It's as bad as I ever remember. When they say "it's not the heat it's the stupidity" I know now what that means, stay indoors dumb a s s.

Maybe a little "southern twang" he's picked up?

BAT does it the right way in my opinion, they point out the good the bad and the ugly. Unlike ebay or craigslist where the better you are at misrepresenting the car the more you'll get for it.

4 barrel intake
Zed I can get that by clicking "all activity" I think but you'll get the Bender stuff too.

1972 JCR 240z
I bought a motor a few years ago that had gas in the oil pan from the carbs being out of the ballpark rich. Took the valve cover off and the valve train looked like new for om the gas wash. Never seen square headlights on a 240, interesting looking car. Shined up nicely!

Deja Vu: 1971 Restoration
I have 918 color code. Do you think PPG was the OE paint supplier? That would be kind of cool.

Nikkie fuel pump rebuild...sort of
Buy a lottery ticket! You got lucky with that. O'Reillys has the 5 screw image on their website, I ordered one and got the stamped UFO pump. 8^(
