Z CAR Getting its Paint and Body Makeover

Bring this car down to Texas, and leave it out in the summer for a month or two. I guess stripping down to metal was out of the question? All I can say is, don't hit anything with it,'cause the bondo shrapnel could kill somebody! That's just one man's opinion. No offense.

The car is in Texas....and why after the time and investment would I leave it outside??!! So it could look like the beaters you have in your gallery? You obviously didn't bother to notice all the photos of the complete stripping down to metal of the undercarriage and the process the entire body has gone through. Let alone the finished product to date.

Oh, yeah... and at least I am posting a work in progress that is showing great progress. Not pictures of raggedy arse cars, parts and pictures of me standing in the rain by somebody else's car.

Opinions are like assholes ...everyone has one...and they all stink. No offense.

Easy,big fella! No offense taken. I was just commenting on the three layers of paint around your driver's side marker light. Looks like the car has been painted blue at least twice. I'm sure there's metal somewhere under all of that filler. You see, if you cover all that material up and let it sit out in the nice Texas sun, It's going to do all kinds of neat things. Ever heard of "Dying back", or "blistering", "crazing", "cracking",etc... By that way, don't take any driveway's or speed bumps at an angle, because you'll crack all that fiberglass and bondo. That's Ron Carter and friend at '05 MSA nationals, by the way.

Hey... "Bullwinkle"...Easy yourself. Let me repeat.....You obviously didn't bother to notice all the photos of the complete stripping down to metal of the undercarriage and the process the entire body has gone through. Let alone the finished product to date.

FYI... It was not only 2 coats of blue but thick areas of filler and primer all covered with a thick cheap coat of dried up white paint on top. Again... if you took the time to review the other photos (As Sharp As You Are} you would have seen and perhaps understood what all has taken place during this "Frame Up" restoration. Instead of drawing conclusions and opinions (remember what opinions are) from a photo that does not and was not meant to depict what the final prep was when completed and ready for primer and color.

You know it just dawned on me. Why, am I wasting my time defending what I know to be a quality project that will stand up to the toughest conditions and "qualified"critics ?

I will save you the space next to me at the 06 National Convention in Dallas so you can display your fine renditions of the first generation Z Car. Ahhh...on second thought.

Oh, I thought this was good...on one of your more insightful posts you showed once again your depth of wisdom and judgement when detailing your fraudulent insurance activities. I am sure it is quite possible there are some "interested insurance types" that stumble around on this web site from time to time. Brilliant move... David. I guess that's how you learned all about body work.

Wooo...Ron Carter at the MSA Nationals that's really impressive. Who gives a $^!#...He has his own gallery on this website. I don't see your Z's on his gallery. Gee, I wonder why? Hmmmmm....
