Message	Most of my customers are over 30. Many of my customers are in their 50's and 60's. I have a customer that is 68 that recently shipped me his Z32 to do a 1000+ hp build for him. I have many customers that are original owners Of their z32's I am 50 years old, when the z32 first came out, I was 28 years old and could not afford one. In 1994 when I was 32 years old, I put a Z32 engine in my wife's 280z because I still could not afford Z32. I was about 40 years old when I acquired my first Z32. I have been working on Datsun/Nissan Z cars since 1982, been working on Z32's since they were new. If your too old, a lot of us must be crazy! I am away on a family vacation, we stopped to eat and I felt I had to my 2 cents in :-)
