Lookin' good so far!!! Keep the pics coming !!!!

It's a '98 Vatchamacallit:confused:
-
On the other hand though, if you can pull it off with low overhead, and jump through all the environmental hoops, it sounds like there must not be alot of competition...........

damn i just realized what that was, my inside, outer part of the rotor rubs the control arm, i wasnt sure what that was...i only pushed the car out of the garage, probably 20 ft, but it was enough to grind a grove into the outside edge of the rotor will this be ok? guess i gotta do some grnding...i wonder if the bump steer spacers made this problem even worse
Hey did you remember to "clearance" you front LCAs? Dave's intstructions require this to be done.

I'm a big fan of the satin black look, but are you thinking of painting the entire bumper black...? Those bumpers are much bigger/different than early Z bumpers.....
Actually, since you're going to paint the car black maybe the bumpers and mirrors should match the bady and leave the satin black for the wipers and vents....

The Eastwood unit or something similar will probably be the best bet to getting NICE,even results. Who's in for a hybridz loaner......wait, shipping would be a pain......

Let us know how you like Dave's camber plates. I've had my eye on a set for a while now. A good review might convince me to buy. I'm still not sure I want a weld-in sret though.......

If any of you guys have time to rest your arms you're not driving your Z hard enough !!!!!

One more vote for the 175 series. It is always a good idea to buy a little big with welders. I got the 175 and now I wish I had went with the MM210, even if it is only 1 instance in which it would be an advantage.
One thing the smaller machines have an advantage with is the input voltage. I don't know about you but I only have a dryer plug to power my 175 welder and there is 110v power outside the house readily available. This is more of a convinience factor than anything though.

I believe the pic is correct. Here is a loko at the same pieces immediately after being disassembled. I'm pretty sure the position is the same on both pics. Thanks Tim240z for the pics!

DavyZ, the panels look like they're coming along nicely. Thanks for following through with this project for us! I MIGHT be able to scrounge up another door panel for the cause. Does it need to be driver/pass side?
-
You lucky dog! Looks like fun.
-
I REALLY like 'em. I think they go great with the dark green paint!
-
Davy, thanks for the update. Looks like things are going good on the panels. Judging by pics I've seen of this guy's 510 parts these panels should be quite nice !!

SO, who's going to be brave and try them out? And please give us a product review.......

Bodacious finds!!! Your car is going to be totally BOSS !!!

I have the MM175 with the Miller cart and mine sits loose too. I used one of those rubber mats for tool box shelves so it will stay put. A friend of mine has the harbor freight cart and I think it's much nicer. It places the welder closer to arms reach, which is a great feature right off the bat. Also, it comes in blue that's very close to the welder's color. One thing however, with the HF cart, IIRC you need to "notch" the table so the welder's door can open. Not a big deal.....
As for the original topic: Miller:Hobart:Lincoln...? As others have already stated, on the 110v and even the 220v units all three make good models. You really can't go wrong with either.

I have just learned to completely ignore these lazy fools! Even if I have some info I COULD pass on. If they don't take the time to write an understandable post, why should I?

Al Bundy would be proud !!!

If you are talking about the outer sleeve then YES it need to come out. I used the same method as Cary. A shop press would come in handy if you have one.
This pic was borrowed from another Z site:

Thanks for the heads up! With these events starting to pop up it can only mean one thing....spring is right around the corner. Too bad for me I still don't have a Z that runs
. I'm stronly considering buying a 510 so I can get my "Datsun" fix. Maybe I'll show up with a camara.... -
Unfortunatly the companies I know of are here in norcal. My suggestion, if you don't get any other feedback, would be to ask around at local body shops in your area. Mainly shops that do custom work on older cars. I'm sure somebody could help you find a local blaster.
-
Hopefully Dave will chime in here. He has sparked alot of interest with these new parts. Very wise too release them around this time of year as I'm expecting a nice tax return soon!

This is not my car but it is a nice way to show that bracing can be done in style:
