I would love to know who your Body guy is?  I am in El Cajon and am shopping around for a good paint and body shop.  My next move is definitely to get the car on a cart and have the frame rails and floor pans replaced as well as replacement of anything else that needs to go.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

You're in El Cajon?  I'm in the unincorporated part of El Cajon in Harbinson Canyon.  Good to know there's another Z guy close by if you ever need some help.

Well I finally pulled the trigger and went to speak with Miguel at Customs by Miguel. Had a great conversation and had the Z delivered to him yesterday.

Hope it's not in "paint jail" too long!

[wheee!]

Sigh.... such beautiful weather!

@Patcon me to.  I also talked to Dave Rebello today and should be sending my engine to him next week sometime.  I will be glad to start making some progress on this project again.  I am just excited that it is at the shop.

@wheee!It is nice!!!

It is as I thought, the frame rails on the passenger side are shot and quite a bit of rust.  Miguel just happened to have a front clip from a 1970 donor car that is in much better shape. So 1121 is off to be sand blasted and work on the donor front clip has start

Is he razor blading the paint off the hood???

@Patcon i am not sure, it sure looks like he is.  Just finished reading your thread and glad we both got our projects jump started again.

 I found that a H.F. wood chisel worked great and was a lot easier to grip than a razor blade. Used it to remove the PO's flat black spray can paint job.

@Mark Maras That makes since in my mind, that chisel's blade angle probably made it easier didn't it?
