Can't it be an adjective too. Instead of saying it is a traditional Z car, it is a "Kenchan Z car" may become a possibility.

Dang, I left that one out. A thousand apologies!!!

worked on tweaking the midlevel and shadows on the picts i took over the weekend on my new macbook.

i think CLP's the way to go in the hot sun as i can get more saturation and easier to control the levels later on in photoshop.

(thanks mr.onzedge!) with just the UV filter im finding that i need to add saturation later by a slight bit as exposure is too high, camera looses definition between the shadow areas (like around the wheelwell, tire side wall, wheel spokes, etc).

cant wait to try taking picts this weekend in raw and try editing that next week...as it might be just the camera's decoding that's causing this.

Just dropped off my Z to have the single exhaust made. Said I should be able to pick it up tomorrow!

those 300ZX's were definitely cool looking cars. i have a 1/24 tamiya i made almost 20yrs ago.

even my tamiya is MT.

My daughter's first car was an 86 Z31 5spd, loaded, even the "Bitchen Betty". She came home from school for xmas her freshman year and spun it into a crepe myrtle on xmas eve. She was fine but the front of the Z bent to the radiator. Kept it for two years until I found the right new home for it. Young kid in the club bought a similar car to find the engine was toast. He swapped the drive train out of ours and just got it running about two months ago. Another great save.

Thank you! You should see the picture the fabricator sent me. He welded on a v-band to my downpipe and ...do I dare say the weld looks better than what is on my turbo piping
