And the old girl is standing on her own for the fist time in almost three years. Body shop picking it up next week and will get it back in about a month.

Nice! Perfect timing for a good summer.

Well, very excited the car got picked up today. Now to clean out the garage, organize all the parts I have tucked away and wait for it to come back home.

Smooth looking,

Spend some time on the front lower cowl center piece to make it parallel with the ground. It is worth it. On the 71 I restored it was the most challenging part. The grill really shows any ripples.

They should have built Z's out of stainless steel. Didn't they realize they were building the greatest car on the planet?

Any rust issues with the air intake for your heating system (under the cowl)?

That's why the Delorean is SS!

Bryan: No everything under the cowl was dry and just light surface rust.

Couple of update photos from the bodyshop. Getting closer.

The shear beauty of these things stripped bare still takes my breath away. Alone, vunerable, calling for attention....

Hang on, I might need to take a moment here... Excuse me....

....

ok.... I'm fine. Carry on...

Dan. This thread is a great read and a tribute to the awesome work you are doing. The contrast between what it was in post #1 and now with the primer in post #69 is just awesome.

Cheers chas

That is AWESOME to see how much good, unfilled, metal you have on you car! You should blow that photo up to poster size and frame it for your garage.

The race to finish is still on Dan - but you having it at a shop is giving you an edge - although NOW I'm REALLY motivated!!! Think we're still on-target to meet up (with our Zeds) in Lloyd next summer??!
