Z dreams

I don't know if it will work, but I think I would try is soaking them in Armor-all for a day or so couldn't hurt them.

Thanks Larry, I didn't know that about soda . I planed to strip it and start over.I'm only going to get one shot at it, so do it right.

I just returned from Texas with a complete body for my 240 that had been soda blasted, primed, and has por-15 on the interior. After going over this car from top to bottom the only rust found was a golf ball size hole in the passenger side floor. the insides of the doors and fenders have a glossy black paint that is peeling off. My question is , What can I do to stop rust before it starts on a bare bones body?

bought a nice body shell in Dallas.

would any members in the Austin or Dallas area have a rolling shell for sale ? Found one on CL. but owner is in Calif. Maybe I get to see it on Thursday maybe not. Have to head back to Michigan on Friday. Hopfuly with a shell for my rust bucket.

there is a 240 in Blazing Saddles. and a green 240 in last years Mobil One TV ad.

sorry zKars, the vin is 87-TWO-65, and no biuld plate on the door jam.

I located a 73 shell. same as a 72?

Just joined CZCC yesterday. I'm located in southwest Michigan, where very few remember what an early Z looks like because they have turned to rust, have long ago been crushed, and sent to China for scape. But I have a surviver found in an old factory.Bought it for a C-note and dragged her home. She's complete right down to the book in the glove box, but with plenty of rust. My Z is a72, HLS30 8765 totally stock" cept" for the 5speed. I'm thinking of getting a body shell and start building. any thoughts? Thanks
