Hi All, just for source info this is my car that Rich has graciously agreed to finish for me and to do a once over to make sure that everything that I installed was done correctly. I started it in 2016 after stripping it except for the suspension and wheels I sent it to SOS Customs in Oceanside to do the minor body work and paint. They first sandblasted it and then it sat for about 9 months because they were too busy to get to it. Finally started working on it and it only took them about 3 months to finish it before I picked it up.
I brought it home, put it up on jack stands and stripped the rest of the suspension pieces off and sent them out for power coating. After getting those pieces back, I began the slow process on putting it back together as well as buying lots of new parts. I enlisted my step son to help as I needed an extra pair of hands on occasion. Since he knew nothing about cars, he eagerly agreed. Over the coarse of the next 5 years, we got it about 3/4 done. My wife has been very ill the last few years and I haven't been able to work on the car for about the last year and a half, as I have been caring for her full time.
Since deciding to move to Texas, both for her care and that's where my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids live, I asked Rich if he would finish the car for me since I have no place to put it until my house gets finished. He agreed and this is where we are at now. I will be driving the remaining parts out to him in Boise in about 2 weeks when I return from Texas. I still need to sell my house and get everything moved. My house should be done by the end of the year and I'm thinking the Z will be done by then as well. If you have any questions about the build up to this point feel free to ask. Thanks,
Donn
