Wow I love this build !!!

It looks good Steve.

Any updates Steve?

No recent updates on the car but hoping to have some soon. Having some issues with fitting the coiloivers in the rear and lost motivation. I'm highly debating mounting the coil overs in the trunk on the cage with a cantilever setup so I have more room under the car. Overall I pretty much forgot why I liked doing this hobby so I decided to pick up something new for motivation. Grabbed this '73 240Z that's been sitting since 1988

The Z is basically all stock and a completely different animal. This is my first import. It has a whopping 150hp in the 2.4L straight 6... I pulled the suspension, blasted it all and painted it along with all new bushings, shocks, springs, wheels, tires. I have to say this little car is a blast to drive. Its doing its job and quickly motivating me to get back to the Camaro .

Good to hear from you Steve.

Nice find on the z. What are your long term plans for it? LS swap and widebody flares?

Looks like you picked up a new truck too. :)

Looking forward to updates on the cars.

I grew up with the Z..... and they were always cool cars (until the bloat set in).

Good for you!

Get a FUN daily for inspiration and some hoots. Not everything has to have 800hp


XOXO
See ya in September at The big track when we show up for the Hall of Fame Tour???

No crazy plans for this one. Initial thought was a LS swap but I have too many projects and don't want the car sitting. I also wanted to see what it was like to drive a car like this in factory form. Now that I've driven it I really like it as it is so its going to stay this way... at least until the Camaro and 59 Hauler build is complete.

Yep, got a new truck as well. Got tired of the 6.0 Powerstroke dying on me. Last time it died towing the Mustang to TWS for the final track day before they shut it down. I missed out and had enough so I picked up a new Ram with a Cummins. Its a basic truck with steps, wheels, 35's and towing bags in the back. It's so much better than the old Ford I had, I can hardly tell my enclosed trailer is behind me when towing. Very happy with the purchase

Are you talking about COTA or Motor Speedway? Either way I'll gladly make time to come hang out. Probably won't have a car for GG's but who knows, that may change. I'm itching to see your new track beast at COTA tearing up some Exotics.

Details on the 59 hauler?

We have a lot of 6.0 diesels dying on our fleet trucks as well. Seem to be an on-going issues with 6.0 Powestrokes.

I just wanna be able to run with SW and his ACR...... he's crazy good driver.

See ya soon buddy!!

Man, that interior on that Z is NICE... Great find!!!
