I don't remember off hand other than it was POR-15. I could look over the weekend if that would help you.

Here's a link to a pic of mine before the work was started (when I looked at this car to buy it there was 2" of standing water in the tire well due to a leaky hatch seal): Ugliness before fixing Here's a link to a couple pix of mine after I completed it: Beautiful tire well after repairs completed

I used POR Putty to fill in the holes, sanded it all down, then used POR-15 products over the area.

Very nicely done!! I'd consider buying one!

Looks like you've got a lot of my stuff on there as well. I do not remember since it's been a few years...did we exchange data? We should!

What is the head on the '71? Interested in selling just the head with valve cover from this car and shipping to Texas?

Not quite on the 3.9 in the truck...do a search and you should find some posts with these answeres. I do not remember exact years off hand at the moment though do know that the 3.9 was only in the truck for 6 months before going to the 4.11 (it was the first 1/2 of a year, I just do not recall the year). I have one in storage and next time I'm in the area of the diff I'l see if I can pull the year off it from where the junk yard labeled it.

From what I recall from when I was in to big car audio if the whine goes up as the RPMs do this is an alternator issue...basically in many cases you have an improper ground loop. This can be resolved by finding a better ground point. The other option is to hit the car stereo store and get a filter for the noise (had to do this in an old Honda back in the late '80s).

Yes that's correct.

Will, it's amazing how life changes... Since I bought the car in '03 I have had two children and a major career change all resulting in far less time and money than I had when I started. No worries though, I am NOT getting rid of the car nor giving up on it...my plans have just been drawn out a bit longer than expected. In short, no I have not got the new engine to put this in and test yet.

Interesting info Tom, thank you. From my research I had always found that the 3-2-1 style was best...though you provide a bit more detail (low vs mid vs high end).

Not hardly! #27 just sold what was it 2 years ago I believe...now we have #51 and #305. There have been a couple others over the past few years as well. This is hardly a once in a lifetime occurance. Rare yes, once in a lifetime NO!

I saw this one this morning and knew that it would spark some discussion on here. Carl, I was right in there with your estimated value. $10k is ENTIRELY too high!! This guy's clearly smokin' something!!

Wow, I had not seen the wikipedia info!! Thank you for that link. Why do you say that 52 episodes is a coincidence? For what it's worth I have them ALL on DVD!! :devious: It's not anime like you would think of today nor what you see today. If I were to see it today for the first time I may not like it...though having grown up with it, well you know.

I stand corrected, I had been told previously that it was flipped upside down. Sorry for any confusion.

Arne, no worries of being branded as old...though I do not know your age. Speed Racer was the first Japanimation show to hit the US back in the '60s and there is still a very strong following. If you don't know Speed Racer then you likely will not care that there is a movie. For those who know and liked the cartoon it's kinda cool to see it coming back around in a new incarnation some 40+ years later. There is no way, of course, that is can ever compare with the original...as is usually the case with most things.

All I can say is UNBELIEVEABLE!!

Did you get is? Got pix and more info?

Do a quick search on this, a few of us have discussed the Harbor Freight blast cabinets before.

Do you still have this? If yes, please tell me more.

If you still need the front I have one I'll sell.

Nice imagery, thanx for that. Have you recently read the rules for this forum? I've just been noticing the general language in your posts and am certain it is in violation of this forums rules. As for the video, great!! Anyone know if videos from youtube can be saved to your local computer?

This is the same diff all they did was install it upside down in the front of the trucks. I have one and will be putting it in my Z!

Welcome!! What part of the state ya in?

Welcome!! It's always nice to see someone else in the area (so to speak) with a Z.
