Colorado Roadsters
I recently moved from the SF Bay Area to Colorado. I’m looking to connect with local Roadster and Z folks near Denver and Boulder.

Re: Colorado Roadsters
Last week I registered the cars in Colorado. I am waiting on the Collector plates to be printed. I also submitted an application for YOM plates.
They haven’t seen much road time in the last few months.
I’m thinking about checking out the Golden Super Cruise on May 4th.

Re: Colorado Roadsters
I just took possession of my roadster today! I’m in Parker so a little further south.
I’m sure I’ll be busy getting it up and running over the next couple months as it’s been sitting for a while.

Re: Colorado Roadsters
Thanks!! It's been a blast to get up and running, and I'm about to start working on a few or the looming issues now that I got it road worthy and should have a title fairly soon.

Re: Colorado Roadsters
That's fantastic progress! I had to completely rebuild my dash and engine loom from scratch! That was quite the undertaking! Sucks that everything is shutting down or Id love to meet up. One thing this quarantine has given is time for parts shopping so hopefully when things calm down, we can enjoy the good weather!

Re: Colorado Roadsters
Yes, my wife hasn't been overly pleased with the almost daily car parts shipments that have been arriving over the last couple weeks. She'll forget all that once we're driving around this summer!
Good luck with all those CO roadsters!

Re: Colorado Roadsters
I’m planning to stop by the “Shine and Show†event at Empire Nissan in Lakewood on Saturday, 6/25.
It runs from 4p-8p. Not sure how long I’ll be there but I’ll bring the Roadster, maybe the Z too.

It would be good to meet some of the locals now that life is getting back to normal.

Re: Colorado Roadsters
Just saw your post. I'm in colorado springs. We had a group called wycroc for about 15 years.
There are still a few left. I've been with roadsters since the 80's.
If I can help let me know. Have lots of old parts and experience.
thanks

Re: Colorado Roadsters
Good morning, everyone. I have several Datsun roadsters (1967.5 1600 with 2.0 solex; 1968 1600 with 2.0 U-20; 1969 2000). All of them were purchased from out of state and I need a dedicated mechanic who knows both solex and U-20 carbs. Does anyone have a referral? I'm grateful!
