At least you guys get snow. All I've seen here is rain. We never get snow any more.
Anyways, I think those wheels in flat black would look really good on your car. Good choice in paint too, I'm finding I like it even more now than I did when it was new.
Agreed, for the most part. Only, Personally I would keep the Bob Sharp Z, and I'd flare the new Z. It's got rusty fender lips... it's begging for some flares.
Provided that the rust you described/pictured is pretty much the only rust on the car, and it doesn't have a ton of rust in hidden places...
Go for it.
Yep. I bet no one would ever guess there's three Zs at my house. My parents have a '78 in fairly good condition and hasn't been on the road in more than 15 years. I doubt we're the only ones either. Which reminds me there's a 260z within 15 minutes of me, I should go see if it's still there.
Granted all those in CA will have less rust...
Definitely could have gone a lot better... a LOT better...
At least I'll know the material of the classes I took really well by the time I pass them... right?
