Right now I am working out what to do with the suspension - I want to upgrade it but there are so many options that it is hard to decide. The brakes are another area that has lots of options. I've only had the car for about 2 months and I still have a lot of learning to do about it. I think it will eventually morph into a pro touring vehicle. I am not concerned about resale value or being original, they made a truckload of these things, especially compared to z cars, and mine is nothing special. It is not an SS, RS or Z28 so there is no need to keep it original.

Thank you! It is a 68.

I like it.

My cart is similar to yours. I got it free from work but I did have to put new casters on it. My tank is taller than yours so I cut a hole in the top shelf and set the tank through the hole. No problems with the tank tipping over. I sliced a piece of fuel line and put on the edge of the hole to cussion the tank. I put my welder on top and use the bottom for storage.

Hi Grumpy, I have two questions for you. First, my harmonic balancer is too big (8") and hits the steering rack and I need to get a smaller one. I do not know if the engine is internally or externally balanced. I also don't know how to tell the difference. Any recomendations on a balancer to use??? Second, I do not have a water pump or alternator or any pulleys or barackets on the front of the engine and will need to obtain them somewhere. Does it make any differnece if I use a long neck or short neck water pump as long as the pulleys line up correctly??? Thanks

I agree that there is just something wrong with lambo doors on a z car. If the doors are that bad you could weld them shut and climb in through the hatch. Just imagine a car with no door seam. It would smooth up the whole side of the car and improve the aerodynamics.

I have always liked the wide bodies but thought the cab looks too narrow for really wide flares. Widening the whole car would be a neat solution to that. Too much work for me to get into but I would like to see one done. How about chopping the top while you are at it???? Though with it being widened it may look like the top was chopped when done?!?!?!?! If you are going to do a complete new suspension anyway maybe you could make it wide enough to fit an un-narrowed corvette suspension. With the glass, you may try to find a windshield that is close and fit the width around the glass. Otherwise you may end up with really wide pillars or some goofy looking windshield insallation. I think the windshield would be the biggest problem.

I would like to see a couple more seconds of that video to see his reaction! Does he just lay there and moan, or get up and look for his nose???

I wonder how long he had to practice to get that move right?

I think it would look better with taillights from the newer Miura concept car.

I just finished watching Southland Tales and it left me scratching my head - I completely did not get it. I did laugh at a lot of the random bits - some of the acting and script is so goofy I couldn't help but laugh. I Am Legend was not as good as the one with Vincent Price, I think it was called Last Man On Earth???? I haven't seen a good movie for quite a while.
