Decision is made! Frame rails and floor pans are ordered! Looking forward to your thread and again thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Outstanding! Welcome to the club. You are 5 hours away from me. If you are ever down this way stop on by and i'll buy you a beer. 

77's rule.  Woot!  

You are oh so correct CO. Too bad you are so far away or I'd buy you a beer too.

I plan on, one of the many plans, installing the stock hood on my Z sometime this year. Can't wait. Want it to look like a 77 again.

Kevin, if you need help with pre emissions testing let me know. I can find out from a mechanic friend of mine what your "passing" numbers would be if you need. I can usually dial mine in enough to pass.

All the other years* are jealous in every way except collector value.  

I would drink that beer with pride, and the offer is the same from me at this end of the country!!

I love my noise reducing weatherstrip along the top edge of my window trim!!

 

* Except 78 which is basically identical with a few electrical differences. Haha!!

Thanks gents, and Rob, once I get this chassis work done and new clutch hydraulics installed, I'll definitely need some help getting this to pass a smog inspection. 

The best thing would be to find someone willing to give you a printout of the numbers without running an emissions test. This way you wont be put on whats called a "gross-polluter" list. You don't want that to happen. My mechanic just plugs mine in and has to make a slight adjustment. I usually have it pretty close.

You do not have a CA car I know but I'm not sure if thats better or worse. The cat will clean up the exhaust to a certain point. But if you go in with "fat rich" condition you'll fail anyway. Get a print out and lets see the numbers. Not saying you are going to fail but lets look at things first.
