NKC_280z Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 very nice paint job! what are your plans for exterior modification? Some ZG flares would look awesome (You can't go wrong with ZG flares on a red Z in my opinion). Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywoodman Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 no, not any ZG's or any flares for that matter. Just adding a color matched front air dam with clear lens front signals. Trying to keep it simple but sporty. I don't want to overdo the look since it will be slightly lower with the double adjustable ilumina's and the 17x8.5 Kodiak racing wheels. To go along with the 13" cross drilled disc's all around. I just hope it looks as good as it does in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way you have it planned in your head you sould have a very nice clean looking z. 13 inch rotors all the way around! that thing will stop on a dime. I had 13 inch drilled and slotted rotors on the front of my mustang with 9 inch drums in the back. Even with only the two rotors that big in the front the thing slowed down very quick. Good luck with the rest of the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 excellent progress so far, and your plans for the car sound very classy yet obviously purposeful. Keep the pictures coming, it looks great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywoodman Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 with all the body work (rolled rear pan, filled in side markers and alittle bit of rust fixing) to go along with the color sanding to get the orange peel out, it was on the high side of a few thou. I knew nothing about painting it myself so i wasn't about to mess it up in that area of the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywoodman Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just a couple of quick photos of the suspension going in. I have the 13" cross drilled disc's going all the way around. I thought i had a photo of them on. Will just have to take photos later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71stroker Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 So i got to pick up the car from the paintshop and i think it looks pretty darn good. The rolled rear pan is as smooth as a babies bottom. Now it is droped off at the interior shop. As you can tell there is nothing in it and no those teeny tiny speakers are not staying. It will have a much improved system. Hey Brian! I didnt know you were in HybirdZ ! Art mentioned it at the groupZ meeting the other nite... Arts telling me he's getting close to being finished with your car too! I'd imagine you can barely wait to get your hands on it... That motor is going to kick some serious Ass! Now on the Legal side of things...I dont recall signing a release to allow my shop to be seen in those pics...! (just kidding) Nice to see your keeping a Journal of your progress in hybirdZ We oughta all hook up at Arts for a "wrap" Lunch when its all done Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywoodman Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hey Lance! Yeah, i guess Art had just recently found my thread too. Everything is looking amazing! I can't wait to see it when it is begins breathing!!! It's going to be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
