Zak's Z Posted June 23, 2005 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2005 Hey guys,I need some help! Does anyone know of a good source for a rust-free (or pretty close) shell for an early Z. I have a '72, and I pretty much have aquired all good parts, and it turns out my frame is too rusted to be worth fixing. In fact, it even appears someone already did some metal work last time around. I live in Toronto, Canada and all the Z's up here are generally rotted from our winters and the road salt.I have been searching for a few months here, ebay, other sites, forums..etc. I have only found one or two rolling shells that dont need work. I know Texas, Arizona, and California are the promise land...but I'd like to find one closer if at all possible. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...it will be much appreciated.Thanks,Zak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtwwalters Posted June 23, 2005 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2005 I have one I'll give away - 72 shell only. Pass qtr panel has had bad bondo work - cleaned off now. Rust issue on the deck lid area. small rust hole in floor pan drivers side (quarter sized). Framerail is crunched from underneath hence that rust hole in floorpan. No other rust. Desert car. I'm moving 7/7. I'd like to have it go to sombody who can use it otherwise it will probably get crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is unless the whole shell goes to a good home which I'd also rather see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
