A new 260Z is born - Jeffrey R's 260Z

[Tom Donnelly]

AND..disaster...I blew some brake fluid out in a cloud when blowing the pistons out with compressed air, and it settled on one of the fenders......so, it's back for a repaint. Always leave it to me to Jeff something up!

I did that last year. Woosh! Luckily, my face was in the way and I missed the car.

I did that cleaning the spray gun with lacquer thinner...ARGHHHH

What about that cart you are using to move the shell around ? I am working on a rx 7 with a buddy and we are about to make it immobile, but that cart looks really useful, did you buy it ?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Good luck at the track this weekend. I am the new caretaker for the 260Z and have purchased the car from Jeff R. I am working hard to get this thing running. I have sorted through most of the parts and I have made a shit list of items to do. Still need to get the charging system, oil cooler, brake lines, drive line and fuel lines run. Those are the big items. I am coming to ITS from spec Miata several years ago and have helped Ron and Jeff Y over the years. I am a noob driver and I will get my son licensed as well. Jeff R. and Ron and Jeff Y have prepped a pretty nice tub so far. I am missing one rear brake shoe locating block that bolts to the top of the brake backing plate. Still looking through boxes. I picked up about four plastic tubs and three boxes from Jeff when I picked up the car. Looking forward to getting back to racing in my own car.

Cheers,

Hope to see you down here in florida... Good luck with the car.

Good to see another Z driver. I have a 260 that I drive once or twice a year, and I maintain David Spillmans 240. Let me know if you need anything. I make some nice camber plates, David's old car had them, the new tub we are looking at has them and I put a set on Parish's car this winter. Supposed to get Donnelly's car up here when the scheduling gods permit. I also make caliper cooling ducts that drop the caliper temp by 200 degrees in July at Road Atlanta and weigh like 1/2 an oz each. Fiberglass with high temp epoxy resin.

and I can powder coat suspension parts pretty cheap, sooo easy to clean!

Chris... I built one myself out of scrap lumber and some casters that I had laying around. It was very simple with the only precise measurment being the distance between the rocker panel seams. After that it was glue it and screw it.
