Hey! Yes. I did change my AOL email address recently! Wookie contacted me about Matt Mikaw.
Plus I changed my eBay handle, seeing I had sold out all my inventory. z1kzonly had to go! Find me on eBay at "sy-sells-stuff". Have some nice items up now too!
Hey Matt! looking to make contact with you also. About some small block Chevy items.
Well, JW, chrome can work, as it can be stripped! As a Matter of fact. I am going to the plater Friend of mine Steve @ (TRIPP) plating in Buffalo.
I'm looking for the Dyno shifter side end bowl. Some guys call #1 the ignition side.
Matt and a distant kzr member, Clay in Kansas deals with them and myself. This is the place that Matt Mikaw used, uses?
I am having some zinc plating done also on some Z1 parts for resto work destined for eBay.
And also having my original 75 Shovel Head cone cam cover stripped of chrome.  (Browns Plating in Kentucky) From 1982!!!!   They did great work back then!
As I am getting my engine as back to original as possible. So I have all polished aluminum covers. Ill keep an eye out here.

Thanks for chimming in!!!!!!

Some of you guys appreciate and old Harley Shovel with Class! Owned it 43 years!
Last pic of my kids! At a Patch Club Bike Show about 1993-4?  Daughter is 40 & Son is 38. Now, And he finally caught on to painting! it took me about 15 years to get him going!
I'll transfer some phone pics of his work.
Hey YOu all like pictures? Right?  "Steve out West"!

Thanks Marty. Tried to contact you on messenger regarding your posts on the KZMarket asking if it was really you. It didn't go through. We've had some scammers and clones so we like to WACK them as soon as they appear.   Judging by what you posted and how you did it I deemed it was the real Marty just a different name.

Hi Steve, Yes, I left FB last year! Could not handle their Commie, Censoring Left  Antics.
But, I needed the Market Place for selling.
And to stop people bugging me, "Carl" was my Dad's name! Jesus! He died 51 years ago to the day October 9th 1972.
It still hurts! It was an Industrial accident, Heavy equipment crushed his skull.
So I became a little man just shy of being 13!
With a garage full of tools, air compressor, a big vise and Oxy / Acetyl. tanks.
Guess I was self taught!
Hey? Who's maintains and polish's a 50 year old Bronze Alloy grave stone? ME!

I see M&M Racing there. Memories... Local to me & legendary in the day. Still see Steve Miles every now & then. He did the head on our '72 Z1 'The Seven Year _itch'  basket case project a few years ago.

Good Ridin'

Hi John! Thanks for the surprise!! 
But? Do I have to rent a SUBURU  with a Surf Board on top? Drive out to the Hamptons to enjoy it? 
Thanks! You helped me out.
If you want? I can reciprocate with some of our Southern Tier  (Ellicottville)  Seasonal Brewing Product? 
Actually driving their later today Monday 23rd.  or tomorrow for a Fall Foliage  viewing and lunch trip.
Western New York & The Southern Tier are Beautiful this time of year! On the few Sunny days we get!
Sorry for the Tangent, But Hey? We all like pictures right?

Thanks John!

Thanks Again John! Cool! Oceans are great! The first time I seen an ocean officially was about 18-19 years ago. I never traveled (none of this $$)
My Lady took me to Myrtle Beach. 1st time I ever  seen Atlantic, I walked to balcony and just looked and smelled the ocean air for 30 minutes!
And it was a mid- Atlantic bike week. Then on Ocean Blvd. Dead man on the street! Showing off with wheelies ???
