Deja Vu: 1971 Restoration

[Mark Maras]

 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..

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. WooHoo 

[wheee!]

Very nice!!

Had they already sprayed the engine bay and the underside of the hood?

Yes, engine bay and underside of the hood were sprayed last weekend.

Base-clear

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...

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.

[wheee!]

Unwrap that hottie!

And here are the pics. It looks great!
