Calling 26th-z and others

[Tidoubleger24]

its been a loong time since i came on this board, I had to get rid of my z a long time ago and it was too painful to come here - or i was in denial (yea i can live without a z right? right?). The other night i was riding along a evo and i was like man some nice little mods and it looks really clean and it was white too - so nice you could eat off of it. All i could think about was how bad a$$ it would be to have the z of my dreams and be running along side this guy and flip open my exhaust dump valve (located right after my turbos on a rb26dett conversion) and just idle along side him.

Doooooooooooooooode!!!!!

where the heck did that thought come from????? - I havent thought of a z in forever! Anyway enough about me! I want to hear what has been up with Chris 26th Z - hls30 projects (man i hope i got your name right) - and that crazy guy with a yellow rb26 in his car. Ive checked out 26th site and the yellow rb site but man where are you guys in your projects - id love to hear about em - like up to the minute project status!! Hey you got a shell i can get too right?? it'll be a while but man i want it soo bad now - i need it!

[Tidoubleger24]

Hey - you guys out there that i didnt call out - dont feel bad - i want to know of your projects as well. Its been soo long since ive been on this board - im sure alot of new people are on board with their own awesome project too - and theres people that ive forgotten too. Man one breath of a Z and your done for life. So lets here it - updates - links - whatever lets see progress guys!!!!

[Tidoubleger24]

Are you on drugs?

[Tidoubleger24]

no i dont use drugs, sorry. i just havent been on in a while and i guess im easily excited. and i thought it was ironic that the day i finally do come back is the 4 year mark to the month. I mean you sign up to a forum and then leave for in excess of 2 years and come back and post on the same month you signed up? sooorry if im excited about z's and to see everyones progress since i have left but thats what i thought this place was for.

[MikeW]

Ok, just wondering. Welcome back. Are you planning on getting another Z?

[Tidoubleger24]

I plan on getting a good shell, and then slowly building it up to a finished car. i would like to do a rb26 conversion or have a turbod L28 but its going to be a long time before i have to make decisions like that

I wasn't sure whether to welcome you back or run for cover!

Now it looks like a welcome is the right thing.

WELCOME!

I have pared down the extraneous projects until the car is actually complete (though several will be a part of finishing it(hatch hinge boots, hard line insulators and brackets, etc).

I am in the process of getting the car ready for paint-only final bodywork on the shell, and prepping the appendages is left, I am taking my time, and verifying everything at least ten different times with time between to remove my expectations from what I actually see before I paint.

I'm still alive! 26th is sitting in my body shop - in primer - most all of the seam sealer is in - the floor tar insulation is in - and I hope to be green by Christmas. I'm dreaming of a green Christmas!

[Tidoubleger24]

cdavid - umm holy crap if thats yours ... wow ...

hsl30 last thing i remeber you working on was drilling leds to give them a concave diffusor "lens" ive never really seen pictures of your progress (hint hint) - but you have to be one of the most giving members here

26th - thats awesome you must be really excited! how did the dip go for you? any problems afterward - the chemicals causing primer adhesion problems? i talked to an old timer restorer and he said that the only dipping place in florida was revamped/bought out and the new people didnt know what they were doing - but man that was a while ago too.

c-david, is that car on the road? I've never seen it around in Tampa, but it sure looks like one heck of an engine! Twin turbo AND supercharged? They MUST be giving out the good stuff around here...
