  1. Sorry about that, I should have posted the link as well. Charley Osborne is the owner, good Guy! Tell him we sent you! Will

    What do you know about where your car came from? Will
  3. And trouble shoot!!! Will
  4. Carl, I will see if I can round up one Monday evening(My wife has been off all week, and I have been comandeered for baby shower preparation since I didn't take her to the Emerald Coast for the week.) My wife goes back to work on Monday,and I just might be able to at least touch some old car parts then! If it weren't for the delivery from VB, and running out to check the wiper arms, I would have had a parts-less week! If I can put my hands on one, I will set up the video camera, and shoot some mpeg for a technical article. I'll PM you shortly. Will
  5. I sure hope that some qualified mechanic checks out their "work* before they turn the key! I don't mind the Darwinian trial takeing them out-but someone else might get hurt-of course, it could be the reporter who wrote the article, and didin't check the facts. WIll
  6. Carl, I have taken the thin apart, not nearly as difficult and getting it back together, but fortunately it didn't work before I took it apart either... I would try using contact cleaner in te switch before taking it apart. I actually did get mine working and properly reinstalled-it actually isn't that difficult.-souunds like a good technical article though! Will
  7. 1) Zedd Findings Frame rail kit approximately $350 with shipping Excellent Replacements for damaged rails-both sides. 2) Rust treatment, POR15, ZeroRust, Corroless, etc Follow the directions on which ever treatment you use to the letter. 3) Treat the entire floor and the newly installed rails, inside and out. Make sure you are careful in the prep-work. 4) Never worry about your floors/framerails again! Will
  8. Make sure the keys make it into your hands! Take hold and don't let go! Will
  9. If you get one, it won't be long after it is done you will have to have two-just ask 26thZ! You'll need two, so both of you can drive! Welcome to the Z community! Will
  10. Original dashes and those that have been re-done by Dash Restoration feel somewhat pliable. They have some "give" to the surface-they are built up with scolpted foam! They crack as they dry out and become hard as they shrinkfrom drying out. Will
  11. I don't know about the rest of you, but it just doesn't feel even close to the same with protection! If I am going to do it, I want all the feeling I can get! I don't see our form of protection as being effective-maybe we should try the patch!! Will ...Sorry, I just couldn't contain myself...maybe that's why we are expecting!
  12. Carl, I just received an order from VB, among my car toys were 4 pristine ss wiper nuts! I had put them on my order and forgotten them-anyway, still available in thew US, but not available in Canada. I will check the other wiper arms over the weekend. Will
  13. I'm sure "Newbie" could find a station wagon to trade... :stupid: Will
  14. I agree that not having them ""right clickable" would slow most people down, and I like MikeWs idea, but unfortunately, each poster already has that power in making the choice to upload or not. People have tried locks before (ebooks, etc...) and found that they did not work. At this point in technology, no image is safe-if there was a way to ironclad a copyright for something in general circulation, there would be no counterfitting. Any picture you put on the web can be taken. If it is accessable, it can be captured and posted anywhere else. While I am not saying look at porn, if you check out the industry, the only way they have slowed down the unpaid spread of their images is through the use of paid hidden doorways, and passwords. Even so, an article I read somewhere said that an image is available only on the license holders site(s) for an average of 4 hours. Look to the numbers quoted by the music industry. Every attempt at general circulation insures theft and misuse. I am not going to stop posting pictures for fear some numbnut will steal my images and use them for some plot to rule the world. I post them with the expectation that I iwill find them somewhere else! I post the pictures for the members here, to share what I have done and to get feedback. If you want to keep control over the use of your pictures, limitting access to them is the only sure way I can see. Will Any attempt is better than no attempt.
  15. Among the EFI goodies I have bought, several sets of the new "pushbutton" connector housings, and even the crimpable connectors that fit them(not a pigtail, but the actual connector for crimping to your own wire. firewall grommits, and more than I can think of, came from http://www.jimsperformance.com/carti.html . Jim is great to work with, he uses the stuff he sells, and knows that it works. His prices are very reasonable, and he does not mind sharing his knowledge. Will
  16. Carl, mine from the '72 match your first variety. I have several spare sets- I can check them if you would like. Will
  17. Carl, I'll measure them (an check part# stamps)this afternoon and get back to you. Will
  18. Carl, More pictures, great! I don't know the story, but I just ordered a set of the wiper arm nuts from Charley Osborne, and He said the black nuts were still available, and were probably ss underneath, but he had not been able to get the ss finished ones for a while. All of the Zs I have had have fallen into your timeline in terms of what wiper hardware they came with. Tomohawk, Appliance epoxy paint or powder coat. Will
  19. Yikes! Proof of proof :stupid: ! I wonder about the ones we were not privy to...Better destroy them now, if ther is a search, they'll be admissable! Will
  20. Are you sure you want to have Carl vouch for you, I mean we all know all about him here! He even posted pictures! :stupid: Will
  21. hls30.com replied to Method's topic in Australia & NZ
    Would that be another "Duck" trade there Bill? I am sure the cars are a weel bit harder to come by on that side of the pond! Will
  22. Well, what happened? Was the transplant a success? inquiring minds want to know, and so do I> Will
  23. Harbor Freight! Brass Drift set,$4 on sale, $8 every day not on sale. I have had a machine shop usae a bearing driver on a press, but I am not sure i would feel confident doing that blind with no experience. Will
  24. My thought in my advice was, any way you look at it, unless you just tighten it and go on, you have to dissassemble the hub. If I had the kind of doubts you have expressed, I wouldn't be confident in that fix! If you open it up and the bearings are gone, they have to be replaced. If you open them up and everythingis fine, you still had to get to that point! For $20 and an hour is it really worth all of that supposition? I opened mine up and found what I thought were nice low wear bearings, juist to be thorough, I cleaned everything spotless. There were a few very small scores on the race, but everything else looked pretty well polished! My first thought was to pack it and put it all back together, but then I thought, really check the bearings. I did. and on one one roller I found a flat spot! out of all of those rollers, everything looked nice and polished-except for that flat spot. I would have missed it, and had to revisit the area. perhapse after galling! I made the desicion to at least inspect, and more probably replace all of them at that point. Granted, I am already upgrading the brakes all the way around. No offence intended, just pointing out that when "the other part of me worries that if the bearing is really the problem, it may lead to the bearing disintegrating, or seizing, or worse (if that's possible) and more than likely that will happen as I hit 90 mph on the back stretch..." I would much rather be safe, than sorry...$20 and an hour for piece of mind at 90mph is a purchase I would not even have to think about. Any time alleviating a consergn costs less that the fuel I will be burning, it is like breathing or wearing eye protection. I follow the Nike advice. I just do it. Will
  25. When in this much doubt change the $20 worth of parts out! $20 is too cheep to risk that kind of a problem! If the old bearings and races check out, you can alway keep them for the next time-if the $20 is that important. If this was a more expensive, or difficult, thing to change I could see asking for opinions. but this is $20 and about an hour! Change them out and be done! Will
