Thats terribly worded. But as in we were on the same base, and even ran a few missions together.
Maybe take it to the base hobby shop and see if they can give you a hand with it.

Not at all terribly worded. I trained for Jungle Environments in the 80s with Army, and learned a ton from them. Then served along side in Desert Storm, and it was always a good experience. I hope serving with my brethren was as good to you.

Nice car and welcome first of all. Secondly thanks for serving. Branch is not important, it's servicing and volunteering not drafted is a big plus. Third modding is fun. I've been doing the same since I bought mine. Also I was in back a ways like the other Viet Vet I do believe mentioned, and I got my first 260Z and my buddy got a 240Z. That was it, and next a 280Z and then a 350Z. Also I spent time on ships, at air bases, worked with Navy, Army, and loved every minute of it and would do it again. Spent 13 yrs overseas out of 22 and don't regret it a bit. First time is saw a Fairlady in Okinawa, Japan I was sold and knew the Z was the car I wanted. USMC Retired and all branches are comrades in arms. (Might also add the extra income is nice too after I retired and took a new government job, this time as a GS) and retiring again in a few. LOL

Ah, I'm on reserve status now, trying to finish my college and attempt to get a commission. No hobby shop near here. But I may have a buddy who will help out and if not i'll get a junk yard to come pick it up.

I'm definitely hooked on em now.

I'd love to have a 370 to sit beside it, but I guess that'll have to wait :P

We didn't have much IDF trouble where I was but our base couldn't go a month without VBIEDs hitting the gates

Lol nice.
When I was looking for mine, I wasn't too picky at all about the color (I just wanted a Z!) But i'm kind of regretting the black because of how hard it is to keep clean haha.
