Are you suggesting you've paid 125 for a set of four? If I even thought I could find that pricing to 'fix mine up' I'd be headed over tonight. Searches on the net seemed to indicate closer to 125 per wheel...for that, I'll give a shot first. Thoughts?

V12 preety much nailed it, although it MUCH more work than it sounds. I'm working on my Shelby .500 Cal wheels (the five spoke ones) and have hardly made a dent in the first one. As to the plastic coat, all the research I had done indicated to use the 80grit to remove it. Once the shaivings are no longer 'white fluff', then your past the clear coat.

Hanson is selling his 240 l/c/r valence piece in another thread. You might try his...

Blitz: Got a better pictur of your wheels? What size, make, etc...

Was Miami Vice correct? I was thinking Magnum PI

Let's see... Wasn't it a monologue along the lines of '...then the problem is you...' Without quoting or going to the DVD, he lectures her about her being pissed that her brother gets away with everything and that she doesn't try... She comments 'I'd get caught'. He goes on: Him: 'Then you're problem is you' Her: 'Excuse me' and so on... Wasn't the gesture sort of 'tongue in cheek'...

Right movie, wrong character, wrong scene... Think TV sitcom where Charlie takes care of not quite eight...

Hmmm. I might just copy some of those pics and post it too eBay... I could probably get a few bids even if I include really small fineprint indicated it MUST be picked up ONLY with a special freezer truck.

OK.. which character said this and in which movie: 'My best friends brothers' girlfriend saw this guy who's going with this girl who saw XXXXX pass out at thirty-one flavors... say's it's kinda serious." And the bonus, who is XXXXX?

Seerex: Would you be inclined to use your spare to make a template image that can be posted? If not, if anyone has a spare to sell or lend such that I can make a template, I'd do so and post. Seems a no-brainer solution.

Damn... I liked that... it wouldn't have been nicer if there were more cars on the track... It's now got me thinking, eventually, is there a nice road track near NY/NJ where I could take my 240 (eventually when finished) for a quick romp... And then, of course, where to mount the camera...

Years ago in my old 280 I managed the following modification: 1. Extend the shaft a few inches and attach a 90 degree elbow. 2. Add about foot extension to reach to the glove box interior. 3. Attach smallish rotor wheel 4. Insert cheese 5. Add mouse Mice are exceptionally good time-keepers and will work diligently to keep the clock running. Their natural internal clock even adjust to their/your local time zone as they usually don't travel far from home. I recommend this method to everyone before going to the 'quartz' last resort.

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?

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.

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.

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.
