het976

I used Charile's (Zed Findings) frame rail and pan in my '71 and it fit really well and is high quality. I would recommend his product with out reservation. He was really easy to work with too.

I moved back the the Portland area from Colorado. I loved it there. I was in Fort Collins, which is almost always in some poll of the 10 best places...to golf, raise a family, retire...you name it. It is a college town with very low crime...one hour to Denver. It does not get too hot in the summer, which lasts 6 months...but so does winter...it is not that bad. I golfed and rode my Harley every month. It can be 70 in January. It can also be -20...but it is a dry cold...Seriously, I have been much colder here at 35f and raining then -10f in Colorado. Average home price is around $260K. Great schools and city parks.

That is almost the way this turned out. I was on a plane when the eBay auction was to en. There was a lot of activity on the car and I put in a max bid that was only $500.00 more than current bid. I figured I would not win it, just based on the activity of one person. When I got back to Portland and turned on my PDA..."Congratulations..." I was really surprised. Turned out the other guy who was bidding got messed up on the end time for the auction. HE called the seller and said, "if this guy backs out.." The seller said, "He used to own the car, I doubt he is backing out". The rest is history.

I am going to have to work on that...All my pics are too big. Need to read the instructions for this. But I will work on that.

Thanks for the kind words. I really put my heart and soul into that car. I like the LS7+6sp combo, but I am going to enjoy it for the summer and research my options. It is nice to have the time and money to do it right this time. When I did it the first time, it was my only car and I ended up doing the flairs one at a time over about 6 months, while driving it daily. Just finding wheels that would fill the fenders was a major task...This WAS before the internet. All word of mouth. Funny when I think back on it.

What is going on in Canby???

That is the one. I am open to suggestions...

Hi...I owned this car from about 1976 to 1997, when I sold it before moving to Colorado. I moved back the the NW a couple of years ago and had been looking for a Z again. One morning, last month, I was searching eBay, when what did I spy? Well, I paid too much but I now own "my car" again. It is just a shell, but I am working hard to get it on the road for summer. The plan is to put a 280 drivetrain in it to get it rolling, but the "BIG Plan" was always a SBC. Maybe next winter. Just wanted to share my story and to say I think this is the best site. I have already learned a lot. Good to be a Z-car owner again.

I would like one as well. Will PM for payment details. They look great.
