good stuff OTM i was wondering about lowes, but home depot was closer, and good point about japan dry b/c i will not use it now. btw, has anyone used heat lamps for drying purposes yet?

i just got me a gallon of professional, but when i used the "stops rust" at work for customers items (previously welder), we used japan drier (made it dry in like a 1/4 of time it would normally take to dry. my question is, have any of you used that with the professional grade? its only $5 at home depot. i ask this because it is great for cold weather painting, and well, ITS COLD! but i wanna paint! also home depot only had hunter green, gloss black, white, red, and yellow; but i need blue for another car im painting.

how about another video phil? of buffing and polishing.

update on the original...... YOU CAN GET SHOW QUALITY OUT OF THIS METHOD!!!! http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2655425&page=0&fpart=47&vc=1

come to think about it, i used the "stops rust" version on my civic 2 years ago and it never did chip or peel, but im curious to wetsand it and buff it. anyhow im going to use the "stops rust" on the z just because i have had good results on my civic. also i just got done with some more bodywork on the z and it is really coming along. big phil which version of rustoleum did you use? OTM how long do you think until you get the whole car done, im pretty excited to see the entire car finished.

that is wonderful how your paint came out, and damn cheap too. i myself am doing the spray method. unfortunately it here are my costs: 1. compressor (180gal. 2 stage, unaware seller) $50 2. spray guns (gravity HVLP) $15 each (2) 3. air filter (for paint setups) $25 4. mask $25 5. plastic sheeting (12ftx50ft) $10 6. masking tap $5 7. rustolem paint (4qts) $30 8. mineral spirits (1gal) $7? 9. sandpaper $20 10. orbital sander $20 11.who know what else! btw, im adding this to my favorites list. i really want to keep with this write up to compare

a custom oil pan, seems like the most hassle free imo. that is probably what i would do in you case. firewall cutting is just not my thing, but it would recess the engine back b/c you have to think of the original rotary engine weight to the l28et weight. heres a few pointers: 1. custom oil pan, pickup - easy to do (other clearance problems?) 2. firewall cut - engine balanced more toward center of car (better handling) 3. rack swap - just as much fabrication as firewall but with custom oil pan results.... engine weight too far into the nose of the car.

hey, this is off subject but are you living in barracks in hood or off post b/c i live in killeen, and seen maybe 4 earlier z's and 3 280zx's out here and wondering if you are one of those cruzing around

no snow here, but it is cold as hell 75 degrees to 30 degrees just like that!!!

thanx alot, it makes alot more sense now due to your post. i will go ahead and do that then. thanx again tony

what happened, im not a mustang guy, but the current one is a few tons better than that "thing"

any old pics?

i feel for that guy, he may say 24 months, but this place is like a black hole. you are very lucky if you get out. anyhow, i myself am not a mustang guy, so i gotta take em out w/ the z.... lol. maybe after that he will change his mind and come to the darkside with us.

never would have thought about this in that sense mike

looked at his car and fixed the altenator problem, now just needs new belt (old one has oil all over it)

40 of em ehh.... guess i better take em out one by one then. lol b/c he wont see me on the road until january. btw, i only have seen one, and that was recently and im always driving around looking for trouble. air force?... never see those guys around (recruiters that it) and ive been here 18 yrs. now. btw, phil i guess ill take half and you take the other half!! lol!!

i live out here, ive seen just one mustang like that black and silver i think

im a happy owner of a big block 427....lol. no but im not kidding really, the wife has some power with that number.

hey, how did you get a birds eyeview of my car???? lol!

hey phil love the vids, keep it up bro<----haha got the slang going

passenger noise reducer ehhh? need that for my wife

thanx guys i will not leave any b/c i was thinking the same way also.

screw it, i really didnt need the guage, but if you make an auction and say it comes with all this stuff; all this stuff should be with it. and paypal got back with me and stated nothing can be done. should i leave bad feedback or none at all?

i was wondering what you would do if you bought this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160046477927&rd=1,1 from ebay, and it came with no regulating guage as listed in the auction? well anyhow i emailed the seller 3 times and each time they claim they don't know what i was talking about. so i sent them a picture of another similar auction, and still they claim "what's the problem" so i send them a picture with the guage circled. they tell me they still don't know what im talking about, so i told them i want a refund. seems fare right? wrong! they tell me i will get a refund but they won't pay for shipping back; come on it was there fault for false advertising. i emailed them back and told them they were crazy and they replied "i will have my warehouse manager look for what you are talking about". i waited 3 business days and no reply. so i file a dispute claim against them and tried to communicate through that, and they never reply after a week of waiting. last resort i close the case and let paypal investigate. do any of you guys think i did the right thing?
