I'll probably be pulling the trigger on some new OEM door handles today so I can get them painted w/o any downtime. Considering sending them to Mike the Powdercoater for him to test out whether they can be done or if they melt.

Keep up the excellent work. :tiphat:

That's way more fun than doing the laundry of my Z's rags and shop towels! Be safe on those corners Martin. Maybe a ride a long in the future? I know that 2 big guys can help with the down force :D:D

ZMan8 06-30-2012 12:29 PM

ok so I need opinions. I ordered a package from theZstore. Fedex tracking said it was delivered June 19th and "no one home, left at the garage" However, we always have someone home and if they step out it's for short periods (<1 hour). I did not find any package near by garage. No one in my family took it, and none of my neighbors received it accidentally. I called thezstore and they said they will take care of it. This morning our fedex guy shows up with the Delivery Dispute notice and says he left it at the garage. FYI It's the same fedex guy we have had for years and have never had issues in the past

So who is at fault here? Where does ownership transfer?

That's a good question man. I'm sorry to hear about your package. I guess the bottom line is....you didn't receive your package. Hopefully Thezstore takes care of you. For future reference tho perhaps requiring a siggy would be the best option so it can't be left for someone else to walk off with. :(

Ps. Keep us in the loop on what happens.

I wish you great success. Do not be afraid of the dragon teeth especially on turn 11. This gives you more room for that over 90 degree turn into the straight.

I think the seller doesn't require the signiture when it's <$100. I'll keep you guys updated.

Grounding kit is coming soon -- I think next weekend. One of my clients performs a full physical inventory every July and they get a warm fuzzy when I am there for it as I am a supposed expert in the field. I get to go up tomorrow through Tuesday and then return Thursday to wrap it up. Oh man -- prune processing/packaging in the summertime. It simply gets no better than that.

Next Friday, I am actualy showing the 370 at the "First Friday" show in Roseville, CA.

First Friday | Fountains at Roseville

First Fridays-Fountains at Roseville: 7/6/2012, 6:00pm at Fountains at Roseville - Sacramento Bee

I was thinking of browsing through some thrift stores this week to pick up some random trophies and plaques( bowling, science club, whatever) -- to set in front of my Z.

Mr.onzedge, instead of trophies, you may consider putting this in front of your Z: :icon17:

After about a week of non forum activity, Im back. Hope you guys have been well.

Going out to change my oil and investigate the weird clicking noise I have been getting in my drivers side rear. Its like 100° out. I will also wash her so she looks her best for the fireworks tonight. My friend, who I always wrench with lives across the street from a park in PA that has a great fireworks show. We have a party and watch em. Lots of gear heads will be in attendance. Im in muscle car country though:ugh2:

Mr.Alchemy, is it the same clicking noise you had from the trunk or this time is from somewhere else??

Got the girl cleaned to the hilt, got a few detector devices in it and some Veil, other than that scheduled to get the HFC's installed and a uprev tune at Forged.

Bucketlist2012 06-30-2012 01:16 PM

Yo,Yo..

I hope everyone is well. I am doing good..

two steps forward, and one step back, but full speed ahead(staying within the speed limits of course).

Just checking in to razz the crew..

After bailing on that ridiculous House my Wife just had to have, I ran into a rough patch at home...All is better now..

I could have made the Wife temporarily happy, me unhappy, and on the fast track to bankrupcy...

I decided to keep thing status quo, even though she did not understand...

What is with wanting more and more ?

Sure I want more....Horse power, but I won't go broke doing it....

I am a simple man...take it or leave it...

I didn't know you bailed on the house. Seemed like you had made up your mind to forge ahead with it last I recall! Last minute indecision, huh? Well, if you had the feeling that it wasn't the right move..then you're probably right.
