Hi, my name is drlew and I am a Z-aholic...

Hey out there... I am just getting started looking for fellow z owners on the web and in Northern CA... I've had my 72 240z for about 16 yrs... Its finally 90% of what I want it to be! If you're near the Sacramento area, I'd like to get to know you.

thanks guys... I showed it at a pre-82 car show over the weekend and got more positive looks than I expected (95% of the cars were hot rods/ muscle cars, etc.). Mostly the ladies liked mine, tho.

I just bought Eibach springs at the MSA show. I haven't put them on yet, unlike a bunch of guys on this site, I don't have a whole lot of mechanical experience. Every upgrade is an adventure... I'm hoping that changing out the springs is as easy as I'm hearing.

Sweet looking Z. Looks a lot like my old '71 but cleaner.

Mine is a polyeurothane front spoiler from over 10 years ago. I'm not exactly sure what brand it is, but I think they sell one similar at Motorsport Auto, http://www.thezstore.com

I love flexible polyeurothane vs. fiberglass, because low cars have a tendincy to bump curbs, etc in parking lots...
