That D/S mirror can't be right...?

[wheee!]

There’s a lot that’s not right...

Okay, starting to see them now,  still, such a pretty car.  Are going to keep this one stock?

I envy your half acre driveway, you could get get a good game of shinny going.

This one will return to stock if I keep it for myself to restore.
I have 3 grandsons under five with another due in June. I have 6 grand nephews under 7 with another due in June... sometimes it looks like a schoolyard around my house!

It's not.  Pretty sure they use the same mirror as the Z cars.

 

Glad you have that home and best of luck with the restoration.  Those are such great looking cars.

The house was part of the deal in restoring the 280. The wife said I needed a shop on the property if I wanted a hobby that was going to take all my time. So we sold the old house and bought this one. I think we both got what we wanted out of the deal. I was sold when I saw the garages and she was sold on the house and property.
Now she tells me I have to include the cost of the house in the restoration expenses...
anyone interested in a million dollar Z?

[wheee!]

Doing some bumper powder coating!

[motorman7]

Wow, love the powdercoating.  I may have to learn how to do that.

[wheee!]

The bumpers were painted red by the previous owner. They were stripped, and powder coated in Eastwood Extreme Chrome. It's so easy to do... I legitimately prefer powder over paint. If the item can withstand the heat, it gets powdered!

Just had to share this....the Petersen Museum did a nice photoshoot of my roadster when it was there.  Here is a link to the photos. Looks pretty cool with the white background, white on white.

Hi Mark,

I'm stealing the powdercoat pics for my roadster rebuild album...
