73 240 Resto Started

[brentz]

Tom,

Rubber seals arrived this weekend thankfully. So new emblems and seals are now at the body shop, ready for installation after painting is finished. Looks like the painting should be finished up this week.

My next little sub-project is what to do with the bumpers. They didn't look too bad before, but now, I am not so shure.

Good news about the new rubber and such Brent!

Yep, that's how it starts.. a very noticeable 'not so sure' feeling. It's closely followed by a large outflow of cash from the savings account!! Be afraid... very afraid.

I'm just being dramatic.. Mostly due to my lack of skill at planning for this refresh.. I'm getting near the end now (famous last words) and hope to have my 260Z off the rotisserie this weekend and back on it's suspension shortly there after.

I'll keep you updated!!

Some of the MSA seals are great and some are crap and some will not be there, But the windshield and hatch glass seals are pretty good, just take you're time intalling the SS trim it's sort of a pain at first.

If you need seals for a 240Z, we make them!

Here is the hood after detailing. I really like the striping on the power bulge.

That's incredible Brent.. Fantastic work and the stripe is cool too!

Here are a few more shots of the fender, hood and doors. Next step is to assemble car and put original "240z" stripe on the sides in the silver color used for the hood stripes.

That is going to look great. Congrats

Thanks Cozye! My good friend who is doing the paint and body work has really done an outstanding job. As a result, I will be replacing some things that at first I hoped to get by without! Looking forward to driving it again. Its been much too long.

Put the final "240Z" stripe inverted silver along the side of the car. Final clear coat. Time to start putting her back together!
