Well, my little copilot is big enough to wear her Summit Racing onesie from Z-mom!  She is our first kid and is really perfect, the first project I have completed without the use of duct tape, JB-Weld, or Bondo!  Funny story...true story...a couple of years ago the  original owner of Rusty emailed me and told me that his daughter learned to drive stick on the  5-speed  in the  Z.  Now I have a daughter and I hope that the  Z will be  around long enough  for her to  learn to drive stick in Rusty  the  Rusted Rocket.  And possibly campaign the  Z in local autocrosses...father/daughter!

Well, its finally paternity leave and we are having a good time getting aquainted with the Z.  At 7-months she is still a little too young to turn a wrench, plus she still needs some time to develop her fine motor skills...pun totally intended.

Hey there im curious to know how you set up your engine bay fuel pressure gauge, specifically where you sourced the gauge from and what fittings you used?

Very nice looking car! Rust looks similar to some I had, except I had a lot more. I like the 240Z bumper idea, did you have to modify anything to make them fit?
