It's not bad to store it outside as long as you don't have a silver maple tree or any tree above you. I had a waterproof cover, but it got a little torn up this past winter. Stupid wind and ice.

Travis, got any pics of your dog? Great danes are cool. Be careful about this season, seems the fleas are rampant this year. My dogs got them for the first time ever. I guess they shouldn't be rolling around in my back yard.

Did you like your cover? Wasn't detrimental to your paint? Brand and price?

I liked it. My MIL bought it for me years ago as a Xmas gift from Sam's Club. It worked great. I'm thinking of getting another one.

Sunday might be great. The missus will probably end up taking the Z to Hudson, WI for an all day girl's event on Saturday. I'd definitely be interested in a little cruise or GTG on Sunday.

I am hoping the Z is put together soon. Going to try working on it today now that the sun is out and it's warm.

I'd like to meet close to noon, say around 11. I live in Apple Valley which is the south burbs. Last time I met with Par and Greg at Fuddruckers in Edina. We could do something different this time.

Alex, damn your build was fast. You don't mess around. The car looks good.

BTW, here's my dilemma.

I think Elite kept the 3 #7 bolts for the rear hanger and also the long bolt for the second hanger (all on the passenger side). I was frantic thinking I lost it, but then I realized what happened.

Mine gets private property parking bar none. Never public. And I'm 19 20 April third. So i live with the old lady still, one car garage she gets priority. I have two cars so she could care less. But I'm building out the patio a foot so I can park back there have her covered for those storms. And im workin my way up there. Just got a better job welding, union, and I'm destined for an oil rig here soon guy at my new job is the madd hookup. Got my fingers crossed.

Stopped by the Nissan dealership near my house, and they don't have the bolts I need for the exhaust.

Maybe Ace might have that long bolt that screws into the aluminum plate.
