Project 3/72

[esmit208]

From time to time some of you may have read my responses to other threads and saw a reference to Project 3/72. Well I was finally able to upload some pictures of it's progress. At the moment I am sand blasting section by section and appliying a sealer immediately afterwards. At the same time I am pulling all th einterior parts harnesses, interior, controls,etc. I began removing paint with abrasive 3M wheels and finally took my friends advice and got a sandblaster. The difference is incredible. The sand exposes every minute imperfection and completely strips the surface down to the bare metal. It also shows you where the holes are. This will be a big advantage when I begin the welding phase of the restoration.

Project 6/70, my profile picture did not see this sort of treatment when I had it apart so I learned som valuable lessons from that machine. The plan is to hire Dave Rebello to build a 3.1 possibly a 3.2 stroker for the power and Arizona ZCAR will supply the suspension and brakes. Carbueration will be a 6 pack of OER 47MM's. Will post a pic of them soon. They look good even in the top of my closet. I have many factory 240Z parts so if anyone ever needs a hard to find part just shoot my a private message. The beat goes on!
