NgoZ Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I would prefer no Safety clutch also. It is your car your building and would only consider it if another family member may drive it. Good thing my wife will never attempt to drive a stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socorob Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks. Actually Monday was the big day but just got around to posting it. That was with open headers. Hope to finish all wiring inside the car, put dash, steering wheel and a seat in it by Sunday next week to be able to bring it to an exhaust shop the following week so I can at least start shake down driving it before it all starts goin back together.

Meatwad Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sprayed the flex tex on. Not too bad. Have a couple little spots I missed to touch up then to paint it.It looks great! I'm thinking of using vht black wrinkle as a texture for my dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socorob Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks. It's about time. I started this project over a year ago. I still have some to do before it will move under its own power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It slows down the closer you get. The devil is in the details. Even after being as perfect as I could on the wiring, a year later I'm now having trouble keeping my battery charged. The gremlins are a bugger! Disconnecting battery when I park it for now. Take your time and you will thank yourself later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 That's what I keep telling myself. I really want to do it all and as right as I can the 1st time, so once it's done, all I have to worry about is putting gas in it and driving it. No more taking it apart for anything major hopefully. ( Until I want more power!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow ! Don't see how some of you can do it . Took me 4 weekends to pull the motor out of the Fbody and the Z , and got it on the road . I would go crazy and discouraged to have a project takes that long . But now I'm doing all my detail work , like paint/body and interior . At least I can enjoy the Z while I'm doing other thing to it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socorob Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 My new tires came in today and they were much wider than I expected. These 245/40-17 rivals were over an inch wider than the 245/45-17 sumitomos that were on my wheels. I never would have thought it would be that much difference. I have maybe 3/16" clearance to the spring on the inside and a little more than that on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
