I got the idea from http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/maxifuse.htm If you search you can find makers of the fuse block on the net.

ozlime240z; I used a replacement horn button kit for Grant steering wheels from Advance Auto. I installed a 240Z steering wheel and then fabricated a spacer that would accept the Grant horn button. It was easier to do than I thought. Horn works and everything.

Thanks for the condolences. I hope to have it painted this coming Spring. I'll let everyone know. If I may, I think what 1975Yellow was pointing out is that we both shaved the rear bumper as well as left the four vent holes in the back. Originally there should be a big bulky bumper across there with two large holes for the bumper shocks to mount to the frame.

:classic: I really like that hood. that is what I'm shooting for when I replace the bent one. Nice Z, mine will be red once it is finished.

I thought about bumpers but in this case the car nosed down and would have missed any bumper I would have mounted. If I had a bumper I would have been really disappointed that the bumper would have come out untouched but the hood ruined. Well, only one Z wreck every 15 years is something I can deal with.

After 5 years of work I wrecked my Z. It's not that bad but you hate to see all your hard work ruined like that. You can see it at my web page: http://www.frpinc.com/projectz/ProjectZ.htm At least it has yet to be painted, I would have been a little more upset if it had a fresh paint job.

Rear Brakes stick because of my master cylinder
Sounds like you have debris in your brake system. It is letting fluid pass towards your rear cylinders but is not letting it flow back. Do you have new flexible hoses? What happens sometimes is that the flexible hose will break down on the inside causing an obstruction. When you bleed the brakes in the rear is the fluid dark? Start with the easiest part and work your way to the more difficult. You may need to pressure bleed the rear brake lines.

Stripping a Z
I stripped mine using chemical stripper. It was very easy. Some don't use bead blasting because it can heat the body panel causing it to warp and the Z doesn't have thick sheet metal.
