  1. http://brewery.org/brewery/cm3/CatsMeow3.html Enjoy! Don
  2. Get the VIN number and go to the DMV and have them look it up. They can tell you if there are any liens or back fees due. I bought a '69 GMC truck with no title and since the VIN was not in the DMV records, it was easy to get a title. Good luck! Don
  3. Thanks, Davy. I'll have a cold homebrew in the fridge for you! I drive the V8Z to work 4 days a week. I cut back to 2 days when gas was over $3. I'm still waiting for a 10.9 timeslip. My best is 11.16, most recent is 11.36. Don
  4. Thanks, Dale. The other Z's are in this corner... My 240Z, ready to burn some rubber... Don
  5. Agreed! She's a keeper! True, but we don't have to worry about vampires! Don
  6. The first thing I did when I moved my Nova into the shop was lay a patch of rubber inside. Don
  7. Mainly storage and workspace for project cars. I put in two 16' long x 4' wide by 8' tall sections of pallet racks for parts/general storage. I'd like to frame off a game room inside. I still need to run electricity, wire for lights and outlets, install insulation, add a bathroom, etc.... Don
  8. 50x100 My wife says I won't be getting any more Birthday/Christmas gifts for the rest of my life. Don
  9. I've been thinking about shelving/cabinets too. My new shop just passed final inspection yesterday. My problem is, now that the building is up, I am broke. Northern Tool has some nice looking shelving: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/NTESearch2?storeId=6970&N=0&Ntk=P_Brand&Ntt=USP&Nty=1&D=USP&Ntx=mode+matchall&Dx=mode+matchall&cmnosearch=true I've been advised to check metal scrap yards for used pallet racking. Good luck and let us all know what you end up with. Don
  10. Davy, The shop is 50' x 100' x 12' . I'm still at the same property, in Gilroy. I can harldy wait to get signed off by the county so I can move in. Should be done by the end of this month. I'm sure the epoxy will hold up to car tires, floor jacks, fuel spills, etc. I used a similar product, from the same company, on my garage floor about 10 years ago. It's held up to all of the above abuses. This product is supposed to be "new and improved". The company is about 10 miles from your house, in Hayward. They used to be in San Jose 10 years ago. Don
  11. I recently finished putting down the first two gallons of epoxy in my new shop. I bought this stuff for $45/gallon from a local manufacturer of industrial finishes. The concrete was badly stained with mud when we put the building up in the middle of winter. I used muratic acid to clean and etch the concrete. 1 gallon of acid mixed with 1 gallon of water would etch about 200 sq/ft. Don
  12. 383ci V8 ~400RWHP (123.8 MPH in 1/4 mile) 240Z 1/2 shafts w/neapco solid u-joints 100,000 miles and still going strong But, I have an auto trans... Don
  13. This car looks very familiar... http://www.dragtimes.com/Datsun-240z-Timeslip-2422.html Don
  14. I ended up buying a Mallory oil pump drive/distrbutor plug. The cut down distributor should have a bushing installed just below the cut. It was easier for me to just buy the whole assembly from Summit Racing. The car has been running flawlessly since converting to EDIS8. I hit 6400 RPM at the drag strip and it never missed a beat. Ran a best of 11.30@123.8 MPH. Don
  15. You can set your O2 sensor type in the MegaTune settings.ini file, in the mtCfg folder. There are two choices for Innovate WBO2 sensors. For datalogging, use File-Datalogging-Record, or Alt-L. Don
  16. That was fun. The old Z really liked locking the torque converter clutch. It picked up 4 MPH! Best run: RT: .019 60': 1.711 330': 4.774 660': 7.299 @ 97.543 ET: 11.305 MPH: 123.849 There weren't many cars there today. I could have run the car into the ground, but I chose to make 6 passes. The car is still kind of soft on the launch compared to the 4 BBL carb. Maybe Santa will bring me a 3000 RPM converter for Christmas Don
