October 28, 20177 yr comment_533489 It's amazing! I don't think I would be able to get any sleep. I'd be on a regimen of Ritalin and pulling all nighters 'till I was done. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56833-deja-vu-1971-restoration/?&page=27#findComment-533489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 30, 20177 yr Author comment_533703 I installed the hatch glass this weekend.  I also polished the stainless steel hatch molding and inserted that into the rubber sans corner pieces (which are in my storage unit). I loosely installed all of the cloth wrap hose for the fuel line. Will do final install once the clamps come in.  Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56833-deja-vu-1971-restoration/?&page=27#findComment-533703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 30, 20177 yr comment_533730 You decided against the dealer AC? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56833-deja-vu-1971-restoration/?&page=27#findComment-533730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, no AC on this one. I am not a big fan of the dealer installed AC set-up, neither is the car owner. Personally, I think it detracts from the true nature of the Z as a sports car. Also, the dealer installed compressor is a behemoth that detracts from the whole engine compartment. If I had a resto-mod Z, I would consider a modern AC system, but not for an original Z.

November 3, 20177 yr Author comment_534016 I aligned and secured the fenders. Also installed the two access panels. Will pick up the hood from the paint shop tomorrow and install that.  Cleaned up the coil, installed the clutch slave cylinder and started clean-up on the brake booster (Looks like it spent a little time at the bottom of the ocean).  Anyway still moving along on this. Should get some time this weekend to make some good progress. Pics below.
