June 29, 20177 yr comment_524360 Gorgeous carb set-up. And complete too. No Google necessary. The reference to Jalex's Z in Panama was because his Z is backfiring on deceleration. It's talking back at him more than he likes..

July 2, 20177 yr Author comment_524650 Pics from the paint shop. Color looks a little funny in some of the pics because of the lighting. I love the gloss finish. I guess we let this dry and then have it polished out and we should be ready to get back to my 'shop' for assembly.

July 2, 20177 yr comment_524674 I was just trying to get pointers from a professional shop. Interesting how they taped EVERYTHING. They also have the hood propped up some but already mounted. I also thought it was interesting they sprayed it all apart. I prefer to do that but I have been told it can cause color variation between panels. A good painter probably doesn't have that as much as me...

July 13, 20177 yr Author comment_525653 Made the trek up to Van Nuys to Pick up the restored dash. I inspected the dash before they bubble wrapped it for the trip home, but forgot to take a pic. The dash looks great and the Kanji was nicely taped off. Will unwrap tonight and post pics. Below is a pic of the dash in its' comfy bubble wrap resting on the couch. On a side note, I noticed a damaged dash package in the company lobby. Apparently UPS 'mishandled' the package during shipping. Makes me glad I made the drive to pick it up.
