A journey of a thousand miles

Ok, so it was really only 200 miles.  The 280z participated in its first Honk, Rattle and Roll tour last weekend.  The car ran well and didn't give any problems during the tour.  It was a really hot day, though, and a couple of minor issues surfaced that will need some kind of attention:

  1. The repaired dash crack couldn't stand up to direct sunlight.  A thin crack developed along the edge of the repair when things heated up.
  2. The HVAC fan began whining when running at full speed and things were at their hottest.  I'm guessing that the bearing in the motor is going.
On the plus side, the repaired blinkers worked flawlessly all day!  It was a fun trip and a chance to spend the day with my father to boot!
