Where did you get the Nicoclub.com decal on the front of your windshield? I want one Please tell me where you got it so i can buy one. Thanks

looks great! look forward to further progress!

i'd take that "boat anchor" if you weren't 15 hours away...

Dexter,I would have gladly given it to you. I tried to help out some fellow Niconaut's but the kids just couldn't get it together. I even offered to drive it up to their place for just the gas (read = was gonna give it to them), but they couldn't get it together. I felt bad, but after two tries I gave up. It was like an hour drive for me, but they didn't have a truck. I ended up giving it to a local tuner shop just to get it out of the truck. transmission was just rebuilt with upgraded Pathfinder planetary gear set, someone will make out. If I coulda shipped it to ya cheap enough I woulda. I also gave them the front end parts (bumper, fenders (one was dented) and headlights (which worked perfectly). Honestly hindsight being 20/20 I should have posted up some more cause I really don't like the shop that I gave the stuff to, but life goes on. No turning back ... It's a Sil40 Vert from now on... We have paternal twins.... maybe not identical, but close enough.

I'll keep y'all updated ... hopefully will have the motor in by weekend. Lotsa small stuff to tie up to get it to NOPI next weekend.

My back up is a 350Z.. at least it's a Nissan... I was gonna take the Mustang for backup, but thought it might be in bad taste to park it with the Nissan..lol

Already registered and have room, so I'll be pulling some Dexter nights for the next week to try to finish it. No real locals to help, so the old man has to tough it out..lol

94 Topless.. I thought you might like the look.. I do intend on finishing the engine bay, but thought the picture might get at least an from ya .....

[GoinTopless240]

Dirftking,I was gonna say something real smart*ss, but it's not my style... I will give you this awesome link to the site I got them from..http://www.nicoclub.com/subpages/store.shtml#decal

.......Actually, I didn't really get it from there, but you can. I got mine at NOPI at last at the best area of the show.[IMG][/IMG]

THE NICOclub BOOTH !!!! of course... I bet Eikon can tell you how to get one, he was whorin them for AZ that day... just JKing seth.. but the burgers were great...

hey man, i'm still young and have been doing the "no sleep" thing for years... you're pushing the black ages, so be careful you don't get sick. drink plenty of water/gatorade, eat healthy, and have a snack later in the evening to keep your metabolism up. lots of caffeine helps too. when you start getting exhausted (can't keep your eyes open or the room starts spinning) you're better off putting the tools away and going to bed so you don't screw something up or hurt yourself.

good luck!
