[Bart Hoedemaker]

Can you guys see the pics?

Anyhow i allready did alot i went crazy this week and worked my arse of, whole inside is ready now.. ( Ow yeah i wanna finish here ! ) And going further on the underside. Updates to come next week, when got camera back!

And i spit trough the photo albums and found the pictures of my dads Z !

[Bart Hoedemaker]

New update...

She's very rotten. But i'm doing my best. I can't be a complete 100% original z. But it will be good.

I have been working alot on her. So here are the pictures. The passengers side front fender had very thick layers of filler on it. But i can see why...:tapemouth Dents all over the place. ( The same with the back fender-front driver's side ) Well first i'll clean it an then hammer it out most of it. I don't like to much filler on my Z!

The hood is okay just some small places and on the nose which needs new plate metal welded in.

Bart,

I am impressed. Thumbs up! Keep the pics comming.

[=Enigma=]

Agreed. Very impressive. Perhaps enough to motivate me to crawl under mine tomorrow to scrape some more of that evil tar undercoating off.

[Bart Hoedemaker]

No more tar on my Z!

[Bart Hoedemaker]

Forgot picture of the hood.

[Bart Hoedemaker]

I stil have to go back to the owner which it came from to get more parts, that still are there...

He had some photo's of the restoration the previous owner did on her, see if i can get them.

Bart nice to see you are saving that Zed. Keep up the good work.

New update on Sunday!

I'm currently working on the underside of the car. The endless fight against the tar and rust is finally seeing the end. I hope to finish the body in 2 or 3 months, and flip her over and start working on the panels. Also need a new front window. Somebody can help me with that?

Some pictures of the front, which welded-in entire new pieces of frame rails.

* What not on this body ..... :dead: Everything on the car needs to be grinded etc..but that will be later..first MIG weld everything in.

I killed 2 cutting machines in the meanwhile :ninja:

Some other places...

And some of the front..and more more more :nervous:

Somebody knows what supossed to be here?

Amazing work as always! The good part is you can be confident the car is extremely solid once you are done!
