Not to change the topic, but that's awesome if you were able to just bolt in a Camaro wiper motor like a retrofit. If you post a pic of that, I'll find the thread regarding the wiper motors and add it to that. Thanks for the info. Davy

They'll look good on your car with the Type III body kit. Just make sure the car is lowered, which it looks like it already is. You definitely need the adapters to work with the FWD offset. Davy

Doc, you are certainly correct, but that's what racing classes do: they break it down into classes, some of which might be boring to watch. Hey, at least it gives more people a chance of winning a trophy and being kissed by Miss Cha Cha. Davy

At least some newbies read the archives Davy

Brett, it is totally up to you where you put your money. There is nothing wrong with adjustables, but keep in mind that Pop's sarcasm is pointed because most of us would rather spend a paltry $20 or less on another stock one. If you can't forage for one yourself, put up a WTB ad on Craigslist or contact Zbarn for a used part. Just some thoughts. Davy

Wow, the car looks great with the finished trim on the sides. You did a great job reviving the old decals on the valve covers The resto is coming along great! Will you be keeping this car or sending it to Barrett-Jackson? This is one sweet ride!! Davy

Al, there's a 5.0 swapped 240Z on Craigslist today for $2000. All the expensive stuff has been bought. You should check it out. it may even have your mounts in it... Davy

Ahhhh, all the weight with half of the torque; should make a nice combo Davy

Hmmm, you probably already had the driveshaft made, Aux, but I was going to say make sure they balance it for a HIGH rpm. Most driveshafts are not balanced this way because they are not for high performance cars... Davy

Also, I have had water come in from around the weatherstrip since I removed the drip rails *ugh* and also from the engine compartment due to the rotting grommet for the wiring harness. Davy

Welcome back to the club, Scotty. Have a beer and make yourself at home (again). Davy

It was fun and for laughs, Rudy, so I'll not hassle you. Tough crowd, eh? Davy BTW, I sucked at the test, but agree with Auxilary about the hood, and fuel pumps---at least I get those points back

I'm sure they'd sell you just the lines if that's all you needed. Email Ross. Davy

That would be cool, thanks. I'd love a "HYBRIDZ" on a round aluminum shift knob. Also, EvilC, if you can find out a rough price too that'd be great. TIA. Davy

I'll have to go buy the issue off the newsstand. At $4+ per issue, I don't know why I don't buy a subscription at a measly $10/year Davy

Methinks this is the same Mikein8s that was a member on this board for a short while. He used to be up here in NOCA, but apparently is now in So Cal. That said, Mike, your car is nice but waaaaaay overpriced! Davy

Awesome! I hope this grows into something not only exciting, but equally lucrative for you as well. One can only hope!! Davy

I forgot to ask if the machinist can engrave on a sphere?...or will he need a flat surface like your shift knob. Davy

That's very cool and it matches your screen name too I don't think I'll be doing a "Davy Z" on a shift knob, but I would think of something else that's cool perhaps. Nice! Davy

Golden advice. I have been a real estate appraiser for about 16 years now and the advice Cruez just gave is spot on. Also, beware of log cabins (this is my opinion and may not hold true for your part of the country) since they are not looked upon as favorably as other types of homes by lenders. Why should you care? Well, if getting the best interest rate in a loan appeals to you, then build (or buy) a house that will bring you the best return---and that also means financing as well. The advice also given about buying a "fixer" can be good in that you must KNOW what you are looking at when you possibly buy that fixer upper. Structural concerns and the like should send you packing, not buying. Cosmetic repairs are no biggie really, and you can do the work yourself. There is an old axiom: buy the worst house in the best neighborhood and it pretty much holds true for investing purposes. When you fix up the turd in the best neighborhood, you'll have the highest return. Your idea of buying land to build on, however, is not a bad one. God isn't making any more of it. Think about that. Davy

You know, the Weds Auto Bahn wheels I remember seeing back in the day were actually not painted, but anodized. This is what I remember anyway. Davy

Hey OTM, The block turned out very nice and I think you should feel very proud. Definitely think about a valve cover that is polished or light in color to accent and compliment that block. Here's what I think so far: Davy

I'm diggin' the black wheels on the monochrome paint, sweeeeeet. Decals on the size also add to the effect. Very cool. Davy

Nice work, Eric. Thanks! Davy

He was saying that for the miles per hour it is 9 second territory. In theory you should be able to run in the 9's with some additional work. And work it will be... Good job on the great, very fast, car!! Davy
