...very nice rides.

True Frank, but the Wiz is still the most powerful toy in the box...  Just love that bike.

You ready to unblock me on your PMs yet?

My apologies Frank, I thought I did that ages ago.

Done.

I'll steel myself for your next PM  :biggrin:

What's your plans for your '84?

I don't have one.  I'm thinking a good cleanup (frame straightening, powder coat some stuff, paint engine, etc) along with going to 17" wheels and the associated mods.  I'll think this one through for a bit and maybe start late in the Fall.

Mark, I seem to recall saying to you that the FJ engine was powerful enough in stock form.... :crazy:

How many years ago was that?

Come on Pat. No such thing as powerful enough.... Well maybe a top fuel motor.. might be a little more than enough.

And DONE!  Of course there are a couple thing to sort, but the final polish is done, badges on, and ready to show next Saturday.  Quick little bastard as well.  Here's the synopsis:

The car is delightful and was a wonderful project.  Also threw a new rotor and pads on the back of Wiz so I can haul Diane around Coloma in style...

Taking the family to dinner to celebrate...  Happy Mother's Day!

Very nice Frank, the car is a very good reflection of it's owner.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

So the z cars joined forces for the show tomorrow...  I cleaned up the freshly restored Beauty, then Diane brought the Breast home as a surprise and I cleaned a while longer.  Should be a fun day with the Datsun loyalists.
