What did you do TO or FOR your Datsun today?(Roadsters only)

That’s a good point Gregg. I remember the pointer being pretty close when I rebuilt the engine about 5 years ago. Hoping that it doesn’t get worse.

Oakley Inc. Sunday Steel Car Show
I took my car to a show this morning at Oakley HQ in Lake Forest. There was a show nearby in Laguna Hills but it was shut down due to the idiots showing off how much noise their cars make. Anyways it was moved to Oakley HQ's about 15-20 minutes away.
I got there pretty early, probably 75 cars already there. I parked close to the exit as I could make an easy escape when I wanted to leave.

There were lots of exotic super cars there. We're kinda spoiled here and see those exotics all the time so they don't tickle my fancy like they used to.

Other of my favorite Old School cars there shown below.

Jealous of all the great cars on the west coast, but I still say that I am partial to the Roadster

At 10 years old (1961) I was saving to by a Corvette but never did. First car bought was '68 1600 and drove it 5 years and sold it and bought '72 240Z. Z was too jazz-Z for me and kept it only two years. Started looking for another roadster in about '85 and found my current one in '95, another '68 1600. Lost the Corvette desire before I bought my first roadster.

Seat Foam arrived for my 1967. Went with Standard Mustang 1964-1966 for the seat back. The first two photos show the seat back foam and the seat cover overlay. It looks real close and duplicates that outer edge raised contour. As Curtis mentioned on his Interior redo thread the bun foam is a bridge to far as seen in the second set of photos. I couldn't find a seller that sells just the seat back foam, so I'm going to try and turn the bun foam on eBay or the Mustang community. The bun seat foam to pick up is from the mid 60's MGB. PBNW or Moss, both sell the bottom and seat back separately which is nice since covid hit the prices have gone up considerably on the MBG foam and just two seat bottoms will be close to $200 shipped. Curtis found the MGB foam and posted photos in his thread, they are real close to the early Roadsters bun cushion foam.

I bought these from topflightautomotive.com. They have about three different lines of the 1964-1966 "Standard" foam. I just went with the budget line $51 per set and they have a promo code for free shipping over $100 so $102 + tax is pretty good IMO. What I bought may well be 2nds from the higher priced lines as there are some small voids / holes in the foam which should only be cosmetic. Hopefully I can claw back $30-40 by selling the seat bottoms.

While underneath installing my seats in red 67.5 I looked at the grease-encrusted frame and transmission mount and put on the rubber gloves, degreaser spray and a pallet knife and cleaned the caked-on stuff from the frame sides and transmission mount... which I discovered is actually blue under all the layers of grease!

Been driving the Cahhh since 1995 and not until the past two or three weeks the carpet bunches up behind my clutch foot. Inspection indicated no forward floor snaps in either driver or passenger carpet. Supposing whoever had the 68 replaced carpets and carpet provider didn't go to the 6 snap per piece trouble as the original receiver bases were in the floor, just no button side in the carpet. $10 (about $1 in 1968 dollars) for a snap kit with installing tool and and about an hour of my labor and voila! The job was a snap.
