That looks fantastic.

I sure wish I had reinforced frame rail jack points on mine.

[wheee!]

And with the rubberized armour coating applied...

That's sharp! Seamless, literally! If I ever get to see your car in person I will have to break out my mirror to check out the effects of OCD up close and personal

Seriously it looks great. Like it came out of a hot rod shop. The floor boards turned out really good. No one would believe the work you did with out "before" pictures...

[wheee!]

Thanks! The proof is in the previous 55 pages

Yeah, but it's gonna be a real pain washing the underside of the car!!

 Keeping it waxed is gonna be the real challenge.

[wheee!]

Actually the new touch-less laser washes work wonders on the underside of the car! I am not a fan of auto-washes in general, but the underside spray is a nice touch and I have used it on occasion with my 370Z. This 280Z will see very little in the way of road grime and mud, let alone snow or salt! I expect that the clear coat should make it fairly easy to spray clean.    I hope!

Looks great and we all really appreciate the progress pics.  

[wheee!]

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I post a lot of pictures for my own reference later, but I remember how I lived vicariously through@hazmatt and all his posts too!

[sweatybetty]

did you really clear coat the under-side?

[wheee!]

Yes. I wanted to make it easy to wash off the road grime. And to look pretty.

definitely a Chassis camera under body view. Reminds me seeing stuff like this at Barrett Jackson and Mecum Auctions when they show the chassis camera as the cars roll up to the podium.

Id be scared to drive that on the road, wouldnt want to get any niks or scratches or scuffs.
