    MARTY – great looking Z; I had some friends (a couple) who were 240 and 260 Zealots (the only reason they owned a pickup was to haul Z parts home!)  What’s interesting to see at some car shows is where a customizer (usually British for some reason), will shoe-horn a 283 ford or early-60s small black chevy into a 260.

    MARC – great build, but looking forward to your 2nd edition with maybe a less brittle resin compound.

    RANDY – looks great, everyone’s fantasy car, for who ever saw one in the 1960s (I had a 66 two-tone Falcon that was the same body, trim, interior and drive-train, only with different tail-lights and grill)

    BRIAN – what a collection.  I hope you can get a few to work.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
