A Z can never have too much rust. There is only too much money involved in Z cars.

Chris, aren't there some buildings (maybe a garage for 27) you need to design-someone will take you literally, and think rust makes a car faster!

Considering Chris' self proclaimed ability to down 18 beers, it's a good thing you mentioned smoking and not drinking in your disclaimer.

I knew better! but I did honestly consider (even if for the briefest moment) sending him the original floors from my '72 for his collection!

Buy a can of PB Blaster , this stuff really works well on rusted bolts. Spray it on and let it set for a while , it badly rusted over night . Good luck Gary

There have been a lot of threads in the past about favorite penetrating oils. The Marine / boat industry has some interesting stuff. PB Blaster is my favorite along with Kroil.

Have you taken out all of the bolts-the row at the top, the one in the door opening, the two under the Valence Panel(covers the windshield wiper mechanism), and the two at the bottom?

There are also those that hold on the headlight bucket(behind the front grill)-if you haven't taken it loose from the fender(3 nuts in the wheel well)-careful of breaking the studs!

Obviously a service manual-or the Club CD-would be invaluable in knowing what is holding all of the stuf on!

PS. PBlaster works very well, but it stinks-don't sneak out to the car to spray something right before a date!
