You should have had him sign the radiator fins.

Good stuff. Go to AC Moore and get some of that cheap clearcoat art preserver before it burns off.

he's a tiny little booger!

Would have thought those doorhandles were designed by a man w/ HUGE hands....guess not.

I really am jealous though.

Funny enough, the original design had door handles that could easily be opened by left and right handed people easily.... Didnt get through testing!!

Thanks Frankie, it was a Fantastic National meet! Ajay's Z is Left hand Drive with Calfornia satnav! It is in le mans Sunset. Ajay asked me how to convert the US satnav to UK! (For those of you thinking of crossing the pond, you get a DVD satnav unit from a Nissan Terrano from Ebay etc.)

They were hollow right through where the hands go; hence able to be opened from the left or the right. The design wouldn;t get through crash safety laws though, as in an accident, the handle could be squashed.

Another interesting point; the original design had LEDs in the handle!!!

He's working years in the future. He didn't work on the 370Z.
