Yes, the marks in red are correct. I agree, it was best to change them out. The car used to belong to a member here, see link below. I purchased the Z in January, on Ebay from the person who purchased it from the member on this board. The car is now slightly different cosmetically from the link below. I replaced the aftermarket mirrors with a brand new, correct, driver side only unit. I've been mostly focusing on the engine bay and changing things to my liking as far as performance and the aesthetics of it. It's not a matching numbers car because it threw the #6 rod through the block prior to my ownership. The car was very well restored and I really lucked out on the purchase. Here's a picture of it now and one of the engine bay since my ownership. I replaced the MSA exhaust system with a Full Fujitsubo header and exhaust system, de-chromed the valve cover and wet blasted, re-plated hardware, and obviously the rockers and lash pads. I have a set of brand new old stock complete 40mm Triple Mikuni's i'm planning on installing next week so I'm very excited.

Welcome Resurgam here's my '72. Its a rolling restoration. Good luck to you on a ground up, those projects take lots of focus. I'm sure the great people here will do there best to keep you motivated.

George, Thanks. Just got a reply from your autorim and they have advised to purchase their Thermozite Heat Shield Carpet Padding!! maybe 5 to 6 yards for the full car.

Welcome Resurgum. This site is a great place for information, collaboration, inspiration and emotional support, lol. I'm new myself, and have received all of these to varying degrees in my far less ambitious attempt to get a survivor running. I admire anyone who can tackle a full on restoration. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your car.

Well I decided to use a bunch of the suggestions you guys have offered and so far everything seems to be going well. Before I start repairing the holes I have to get the panel straight again, it has been warped by getting wet too many time and curling. I made a splint out of angle iron and plywood, soaked the corner of the panel with methyl hydrate (wood alcohol) until it was almost squishy and pliable then clamped it down. Now I'll let it dry slowly and hopefully it wont be warped when I un clamp it. The lower section by the door handle was warped and had multiple tears and breaks, that area I soaked in cyanoacrylate glue and clamped it up with wax paper covered splints, I'll have some better pics tomorrow.

Hi Motezuma, thank you and of course I will let you know when I go to Sandiego! Kats
