Nice work! some would call the car toast and scrap it. I love it when people do not give up. If it can be built, it can be repaired.

Coming together nicely, can't wait to see it painted.

Ok, so I thought I'd post some progress pics. Clearly the "first week of December" has come and gone, and I still don't have the car back. However, the body guy has been extremely conscienscious about locating and digging out minor rust spots in obscure places.

In the interim I have been prepping the parts to go back on (i.e. polishing up light lenses, windshield trim and such). Hopefully within the next two weeks it will be back at the shop with reassembly underway.

It could be worse. Hasn't Brian waited well over 2 years for his?

While it has taken 5 weeks longer than I was originally told, I received a message from the Body Shop guy that I have to get the car out of his shop this weekend because he needs the space. He shot and cleared it yesterday and will be buffing it out Tomorrow.

Before Clear

After Clear

The car looks a bit gold due to the lighting, but it is actually silver.

I am looking forward to getting it back in the shop and putting parts back on.

Almost ready for the street. Just waiting for a new vacuum advance and need to get the headlight buckets on, then she's drivable.

You're car is in good hands. Most people would have sent it to the crusher. Another Z saved.

I have got to paint my car, just so many other things to do first. It makes me sick, but I love the way your silver laid down, it's my favorite color on a Z.

That wont work for my hood damage

Look at how the front of the hood is pushed down and caved in at the forward support. The right is before, the left after.

How did you do that work? My daughter was so kind as to dent my hood for me. She bend in the right side and the center has a small crease. Do tell.
