Well the original oil pan seal finally died. So I pulled the pan, zinc’d the pan bolts and powder coated the outside of the pan. 
 

The inside black material is pretty good condition. It’s come off a little at the edges. 
 

Now to get it on without too many scratches. 

Pretty!

Did you plate those at home with Caswell? They look good!

No I don't plate at home.  I send it off, zinc is cheap to have done.  I have been sending car parts off to zinc for a while now.  I found a shop I like and just ship them boxes of parts.  Works great.  

What shop?

I think I have used 4 shops over the years. Most are the same. I currently loving TFC in Oregon. 
 

Prep is key. 

 Wow, the things one discovers on this site. TFC is about a quarter mile from my house. Thanks

Now that is neat! I found out about TFC when I got a set of ztheraphy carbs. I was impressed by the zinc. So I emailed them and asked who the shop was. They are usually pretty fast as well. Most zinc shops are slow and smaller batches aren’t important.

Do you deal with Louis? I spoke to him a few months ago

When I get closer to install, your thread will be my bible Duffy. I bought this for myself for Christmas to make a little shorter work of stripping the engine compartment.

Those tools like very neat! Someday I might paint this car, but I would rather not.

 

Thank you for the compliment.  It's been a fun project.  I really like working on the Z.  

Powder coated pan is in. Wow what a pain to do on my back under the car. I need a lift! 
 

I did just past snug 3x around with a 1/4 ratchet. Hopefully she doesn’t leak.
