I'll be stripping down to the unibody and welding in new floors and patches and wondered if it was best to strip off all the existing paint, while removing undercoating and rust. One thought led to another and I starting looking into places that will dip the who vehicle. Sure enough, for $1000 ($$$$$) a place will dip the whole unit. All the paint, rust, undercoat (everything not metal) will be GONE!! Ready for patch/prime. Anyone ever done this? I realize, though, afterwards, the original sound deadening in the hatch would be gone and would need replacement if intending to make 'original'. Is that stuff even available? Anyone ever done the dip?

Kev: Sounds like a road trip...

I'll end up good for carpet, diamond vinyl, poly bushings, etc. I just organized a small group buy on rotisseries (we bought three) and was very happy with the end price/result. Now I've just got to get the Z up in the air.

One more for the consensus... bottom, no tail. Plus, toss the black out chrome. I prefer the bumpers, but as getting bumpers and rechroming adds $$$ (my Z came w/o bumpers) I'm partial to the dams w/ false bumpers.

There is a Series1 console on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33705&item=2459084989 It's newly listed, but I'm sure it will sell for some unreasonable price.

Prarie-dogging... WOW!! so that's what I've been doing at work....

Classic... I love when I come back to the group, after a brief hiatus, to find that the humor level hasn't diminished... Gotta luv this group.

Ken: Just a week or two ago I was speaking (typing) with Chloe and she indicated she had a new 72 (series 2) dash. Send her a PM (ID: msw) and inquire. I'm kinda/sorta looking for a series 1 for my 71. I'm considering Dashboard Restorations, but I have plenty of time till reassembly and would prefer new if I can find a decent price.

Brooke: Do reply or send a PM indicated where in NJ you reside. I live in Northern NJ and would consider a ride down. Another member on the board also lives near me and may choose to come for the ride also. Give some though to what 'price' your father would desire, or, if he is more motivated to send it to a proper home. If there's anything most members of this board can offer, it is a good home and new life.

I'm in NJ as well... and would be curious to see/hear more. Can you comment on condition?

I second Rick's though. I had visited the site but didn't want to 'knock' someone for starting another site. His site does include classifieds for pickups and and all sorts of vehicles so I'm sure over time it'll include a bit of everything... quite a lot to sift through when you're focused on Z's. Think I'll stay here... You're all a good bunch.

Wooooh... I love it's diet... 5 full size dogs a day...

This was available a few weeks ago (at least a few minute teaser was) on DirecTV Tivo. It didn't list in the guide, but rather in the main menu. I couldn't figure out how to record it, however. I hadn't realized there was a history around this, thanks for the background.

Still no bids... and only $9.99 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6753&item=2449180549 Wonder if this is the original artist...

Well, as I'm a dog person, I find it just fine to go ahead and pick on the little kitties... Great pic... great chuckle...

Sorry, false call.... I've got 1810 on the brake (outside facing side) but no markings on the clutch... Hmmm.. last time I actually won a Bingo game I was perhaps 12yrs old and won a toe-nail clipper... Hows that for exciting...

That's great... last time I saw as good an eBay item, it was Brittany Spears' virginity up for auction.... As I recall, it sold for much more than $5.

Per my original message, I'll dub a copy to VHS to anyone who'd like. Just PM me and I could purchase/ship a copy of VHS if you agree to reimburse the cost of the tape/shipping. One notable item was they continously refered to the 240Z but showed a 240ZG. They never mentioned it was a ZG but the pics were good.

If we play more Bingo games using other mechanical parts, it may serve as incentive for me to strip mine down a bit faster...

I'll be catching this on my Tivo (already have the Discovery program). As previously offered, anyone who would like a copy, contact me via PM and send me a SASE with videotape and I'll dump a copy.

In the local paper I found an ad for a 76 280Z project car (supposedly complete). It is located in Flemington, NJ and the current owner is asking $250/obo. During my conversation he seemed motivated to get it gone. It wasn't his car, it sounded as if he acquired it as a 'tow away'. He indicated it is still sitting on a trailer, so you may be able to get it delivered. He indicated he received a few calls, but no visits. He's planning to take it to the crusher. I encouraged him to permit scavengers to collect parts if he plans that route... he seemed willing. His contact info is: Steve Liebl, 908-782-0155.

ROFL Geez, my first Z was a 76 I was guilty of a carpet dash cover... I only wish I told my friends that my <b>'dash has been recovered with a racing inspired covering material'.</b.> ROFL

Jus send you a PM

Yes, still have the corners AND the center piece as well. I had hoped the 280 center would fit/work with a 240. It does not. All brand new. Seeking centers/corners for a 240 and a airdam for a 240.
