DashRestorations has a special paint mixed up. It is supposed to become one with the painted surface, and not remain a seporatable coating, They are sending me some with my dash to make sure all of the black interior parts in the car match-if your other plans don't hold water, you might give them a call and see if they will sell you a batch!

I think Carl is right on the money! I even went in and tried to edit the link to CAIG for the DeOxit, and it still didne work. Cut and past the link into your address lin and lose at the front and the end, and the address will work. Will

Carl, TomoHawk, I just bought three cans on ebay for less than what I could have bought two of them direct for! The MFR also sells the stuff(in several varieties and forms) direct http://shopping.netledger.com/caigstore I am just getting ready to start on the harness, I have been cleaning up my rented worksopace, and once I get the car out there and upside down-early next week-I will begin on the harness! FYI After unwraping the harness and cleaning the insulation, I will clean the crimped connections of corrosion with DeOxit, wash away the protective coating it leaves with laquer thinner, hit the connections with some flux, silver solder and heat, wash them again with thinner, and have them ready to rewrap and reinstall! I am going to try tp keep the original fusebox in much the same way-if that does not cure its woes, I will replace it with thed blade type I have prepaired. Will

I have had 11 bumpers replated at different locations throughout the country, I have paid from $225 to $700 for a "Showroom tripple chrome finish" every single one has rusted within 6 months. The problem HAS ALWAYS BEEN the Nickle plating is not thick enough. A tripple chrome plating is actually a thick plate of copper to fill in scatches and tiny dents, sanding and buffing to make a uniform finish, a medium coat of nickle to seal the copper from oxidizing(look at the chrome interior pieces-they are exuding a green tint becaouse they were not nickle plated at all, and the copper is corroding under the chrome), the nickle plating is supposed to be thick enough to not be porous. Then a thin(and porous) chrome plate. It does not take very much to make a chrome plating look good out of the vat, the proof is in the lasting. If it does not last, the nickle was not done well, or the piece was not properly cleaned between steps. I have used all the reccommended places I could find, and none would stand behind their work! I chose to buy a set of NOS bumpers and completely coat them with clear (Glisten PC)from POR15. The bumpers are completely sealed, and no more oxidation can take place. Will

Just use the DeOxit! Filing the connections will be a temporary fix that will usually make the problem come back-but faster. DeOxit removes and neutralizes the corrosion, and leaves a coating to keep it from comming back! Will

I have bought several low to medium mileage turbo engines. I have paid from $271 for a complete car to 251 for just the engine with both manifolds, injectors, distributor, but no Alt, Starter, or turbo-check car-parts.com . Will

Is that a V8 sponsored by Pepto Bismall! Will

"The door handles are interchangable from side to side on the 70-78 Z cars." That also means that, depending on where it broke, you could switch sides!:classic: Will

I got a set from Charlie last week! A good decision makes sense when you make it, and every time is crosses your mind thereafter. Buying the replacement floors was a good decision! Will

If it will go in a 240Z, in will go in a 280ZX!, Us the JTR kit, or check out HybridZ.org , I am sure at least a handfull of guys over there have done it! Will

Something tells me that the seller does know about Charlie, but that Charley doesn't know about ebay, or inexpensive advertising!! Will

Sorry, I read something you didn't write, and could not delete the post! Will

I agree with 2ManyZs-they look to be Centerlines! Call the source! Will

What are the taillights from? Will

HMMMM! Will

I think you could find one for $75 to $100 with some hunting around on the net. $150 is not a bad price, just high unless you need the head now! Will

Now it all make sense-what dashboard! Will

Rick check out this link-everything is spelled out here for you, I don't think any member here will dissagree with this info. Don't forget the P90 page! http://geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html Will PS. check car-parts.com for the head, 81-82 if you want a P90, 1983 if you want the P90A-I think you can probably do a little better than $150

OH Poo! My intent was to poke a little fun, and possibly increase your parts sales-if I offended either of you in any way, that was certianly not my intention-where is that tongue in cheek smile when you need it!:classic: Will

What happened to the girlfriend, I figured she got your blood up, adn Dashboards-or at least forums about them-were the last thing on your mind when she left!

OK Bill, you participated in the thread:finger: ! Quit sucking face before you get on here! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12725&highlight=dash Will

Bill, You are not a newbie! We covered that (true enough during your absence) recently on another thread, I even gave personal experience on how to get the best fit! I'll try to find the thread and paste it here(well in a new post on this thread)! Will

They must be from Holland, In't that vierd? (yes, I did watch "Austin Powers" again tonight! Paul, we have spun this tale around more lightly the first time. Every once in a while I get the urge to call in poker, and this was just a different variation of the same game. But it was mildly entertaining! Will

Carl, Iknew chrome and fiberglass made a car faster, but I never heard tell that Diamonds did-sort of shoots my whole strategy for a quick car! Will PS, I'm working on the joke!
