That's not rust.....it's an undercoating overspray! I'm aware of the link, but this car will never see soapless water.

My dad and I went over to check out the progress on his 71 resto. Wow is all I can say!! This thing is really coming along. It's going to be a real gem.

Guy,

Love this thread. I gotta check out your cars next time I am in Richmond. I have been working on a Phillip Morris project in Richmond for a while now. I am headed up to VIR tomorrow to watch/photograph some SCCA racing. A lot of 240Z-280Z's as well as some 510's running this weekend!

kudos for using the Architecture blue prints for paint sheilds!

My brother would be proud. I have used engineering drawings for many creative things!

Few more updated pix of the passenger side getting prepped. She should be totally primed in a week or two
