http://www.urethanesupply.com/Other-Fillers-1/Padded-Dash-Filler/ I used this and its very flexible. I can push in on the repair sections 1/8" or so and it doesn't crack. The only problem I had was it looked perfect after I did it. A few days later I thought I would spray some SEM vinyl paint on the whole dash just to give it extra UV protection. I had read on another forum to prime it first if you did that, but I didn't. it made the repaired areas swell up about 1/8".

Not sure if the 75 door will work on the 240. Check it out carefully before you bother pulling it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they changed the doors 3 times over the years.

Thanks. IT's been a ton of work but definitely worth it.

I finally got a windshield and had the car buffed. Now to put it back together and start driving this thing again. The light at the end of the 2 year tunnel is finally in front of me.
-
Mine should be legally road worthy again in a few weeks or less, depending on how much time I get to be able to put it all back together.

22 through head of island and Killian is a nice curvy road to get there. Bayou Paul road not far from there is very curvy, so it would give me an excuse to go there, and pass By the show between the 2

Maybe so, is that in Gonzales?

MY 78 got a ton of heat from the tunnel. WHEN you pulled back the carpet it was actually bubbling the tar because it was so hot. THE resonator seemed to be a little clogged up with rust. I sprayed a few coats of lizard skin heat insulation on both sides and it made a big difference.

Thanks. It looked like it was touching in some of the photos.
-
Does it scratch the sides of the car when you open/close the hatch, or from any vibration when driving?
-
Also drill a small hole at the end of the crack to relieve it.

I was working on my car today and someone stopped by and started to BS about Z's. In the conversation he mentioned his roommate in college( I'm guess ing late 70's or early 80's) bought a used king Z "from back when they used to make them", and it had a 327. He said it was fast but didn't stop worth a crap. I would have had no idea what he was talking about if I had not read this.

Eibach Springs - Front sits high... *pics*
socorob replied to PCressey's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
I have a similar problem with my TTT setup with eibach springs. I had to use the large insulator on the rear and put in a ton of preload on the coilover so it won't drop at all with the weight of the car on it. On the front, I have about 1-1.5" of space between the spring and hat when the car is lifted off the ground and used the short insulator. It was a PITA to get the car close to level. This is on a 78 280z. -

That's why I was trying to figure out who makes them. MSA likes to mark things up a lot.

Seeking air compressor recommendations
socorob replied to RebekahsZ's topic in Fabrication / Welding
Look on craigslist. There are quite a few shop compressors selling around here for around $4-500. -
http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08h02a01/40-2094 Anyone know who is making them for MSA?

You will probably have to cut, weld and round the diff mount to go dual if you haven't done it already.

Before I went with vintage air I thought about doing this. Went to the junkyard and there were 5 or 6 sportages there. 1 was missing the blower and all the rest were bad. You may want to grab an extra motor since it appears they have a high failure rate.

I have a flowmaster hushpower. It isn't so hush though, at least not as much as I would like it to be.
-
Yea. I posted what I used in the description of the video. It's crazy loud. Once I get the interior back in, if it's still so loud, I will probably add resonators.

Ford Taurus Fan and Stock/Champion Radiator mounting
socorob replied to ktm's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
Actually it was angle on the left and flat bar on the right. Not the prettiest, but I did it quickly to be able to go to a car event , and since it doesn't move I decided to leave it as it is.

Here's my single.
