Here is a litle update. Progress has slowed a little too many other summer projects in the way.

Jim, You've been an inspiration, altho won't be able to make the 'mostly myself' claim about the welding. Having a friend do it for me, but hope to learn and do as much of it myself as he'll let me. Stripped off tar-mat, vinyl and pulled the old engine on Sunday. Will have new floorpans, seatmounts and frame rail reinforcements, as well as a fixed hole under battery. I am stoked. Now to sell some extra parts to finance the job. Your car is looking beautiful - hope to see you and the car in person in Tacoma some day.

Are you planning on a front air dam and if so which type?

Looks good, Jim! Keep up the good work, and get that Z back on the road soon!

Another couple of steps closer. Picked up my bumpers last week from the chrome shop. My wife said " it is beginning to look like a car again. What do you think?

[Mike B]

Looks really good Jim. Where did you get your bumpers done at? What kind of wheels are those?

The bumpers were replated by:

Star Bright Chrome Plating

Oregon City OR 97045

The wheels are Keystone. They have been on this car since it was new. If anybody has seen Keystone center caps I am still searching for replacements.

Keystone Kustomags? I had a set of those on Duster 340 6 Pack years ago. Don't know where to get the caps though.

Truly an Inspiration!!

Getting closer every day getting itchy to get her running. I cleaned the gas tank for the second time per the tank sealer instructions. Should have the tank in next week. Sure would be sweet to hear her run next week end. That would put it right at two years since I tore her clear down. It takes some time to get the tank dry again after you rinse the soap and phospheric acid out of them.

Just got the chrome pieces back onto the tail lights look like new.

Here are the latest pictures.
