Never seen a nail go in at that angle. Didn’t know people still plugged leaks (instead of patch). Love the looks of that floor jack. Looks quality, retro and streamlined. Looking to buy car tools again after decades. Is it solid?
I surely just got lucky with the nail. My approach was to remove the nail to avoid any possible tire damage, plug the hole as a temporary measure, get the tire dismounted to inspect and then make a decision to patch or replace.
The floor jack is a 1950s Blackhawk unit that I had rebuilt a few years ago. This particular model is an SJ-18, it has an aluminum cast frame and is rated at 2.5 tons. Back in the day, Blackhawk had a reputation for producing high quality hydraulic products. Along with a jackpad intended for use on a Telsa, I'm happy to report that this old jack performed nicely.
Sweet! Takes me back a bit - thinking of my buddy Bill and his gulf blue T. For those wondering, the bright green in this photo is conda - also not on the PTS option list but similar to viper green.

Just replaced my shift **** from Flat Six. All solid aluminum. Feels great, easy to install. HUGE difference in feel. SOLID in your hands unlike the stock **** (which is mostly plastic) Flat Six **** Flat Six **** stock

@ECNJ , I nominate you to see how closely you can recreate this old-school T-meetup pic during the East Coast Fall T-meetup!
I see a Targa so not all T's, but hey! Seems like you guys will have a nice spread of colors.
Do you not want the door stripe? I personally liked it because it's unique to the T. If you want it, then get it and add the OTT Motorsport stripe aftermarket. I've posted the matching color and brand of that stripe if you need it.

@HerrDr good idea! BTW, y aren’t u on the attendees list? No excuse like I live in a another country.
LOL. I've lived my whole life on the east coast (NYC, Boston) up until 2020. In Seattle now and I _wish_ I could attend, but my T won't make it stateside until after my Euro Delivery in October. Do I have a valid excuse if my T was built in May but is in a different country...?
