After a little hiatus from the road, I decided to take out my ZED for some fun now that the weather is beautiful. Also wanted to stretch her legs with the new Dizzy I just put in her. Pulls hard now all the way to 6700 rpm.. what sweet music.

As you can tell, I have issues with taking pictures with shadows on them.. but oh well.. it was a great drive..

Your beautiful Z was the initial inspiration that sprung me into restoring a 73. Thanks for the pictures.

Very nice looking Z.

You also have issues parking within the lines!!!! :-D

Sweet. My Z will be silver now. Just beautiful!

Show off....

Beautiful settings, gorgeous Z.

Beautiful car and photos!

Great Shots!

nice car.. btw how did you attach your front lip?

Absolutely stunning! Your car is one of my favorites on this site.

How did those new Z Therapy carbs feel at 6700?

likemerkury...I am more than flattered. So many Z's on this site are my inspiration. I am humbled and honored to have been anybodies inspiration. Thank you very much.

Darrel... touche!

Frank... thanks very much. Kemah is a pretty fun place to hang out with the family. Makes for an interesting back drop. If I had more time, I would have staged things far better.

Steve91tt... thanks very much.

oiluj... I have a feeling when we get your finished product, it will inspire me to do even more. Cannot wait for more pictures of your beauty.

dustin haru... you have to dill a few holes in the lower valance. There are already some, but you have to drill more. I think I drilled 6 to 8 holes.. I will have to check out my build notes in my Z notebook. I documented every bolt I ever touched on my car.

The carbs felt great, the new recurved dizzy really makes it pull hard up top. Truthfully, I run out of cam at 6500, as it is stock. So no real point in revving it any harder. But I was curious as to how she would react. Since it went 'into the yellow'. I figured that was enough. I think it would have spun higher, but I think there is not much point to spinning the engine to 7000 for a joy ride. The car pulls like a monster up to 6000 rpm and seems very eager and willing to do it. So I usually shift out at 5500 or 6000 tops.

Carbs have NO issues with this range. With my recurved/rebuilt dizzy and new carbs I really think my engine is as happy as it has ever been.

Definitely an awesome looking Z!! You have done an absolutely beautiful job - very inspiring indeed.

We should assemble a group from the Houston area to cruise down to Kemah one weekend and show 'em some Z power!! The Boardwalk would be a fantastic backdrop for some group pictures.

I plan on returning my 72 back to its original 901 silver this winter.

I had been undecided on what to do because the car looks good black.

Yours looks great:love:

Regards

Casey
