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.

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?

Rusty looks great but the best-looking picture on your page is the baby! I will shop for a pink Simpson as soon as she can sit up by herself and ride facing forward! Love, Z_Mom
