Makes me sad to look at this picture...
Salt air in Key West is killing my poor car. Gonna have to repaint after gutting al lthe rust thats accumulated over the last 4 years.

My 240 is still 904.
Most of it at least. I had to do some repairs and just grabbed something close until I finish the rest of the work and do a full repaint.
Salt air is killin meh!
I guess you COULD fill it in and smooth is out... that may be an option, but far from the best. Filling would probably crack a few years down the road, as that would be alot of filler on a rather flexible part of your body.
Best bet is to get new flares.
EVO, where in FL are you? Im going to need a blasting and paintjob in the near future. Looking for a skilled hand and an idea of how much im looking at.
Dont be hating on the stripes! Just gotta do em right.
This is one of my favorite stripped cars. They need to extend down onto the air dam IMO, but other than that they're beautiful!
They're pretty hard to find these days. Ive got one in a closet if you're interested. It would need some work though. The "previous owner" added some bondo to change some of the lines a bit. Why, I have no clue.
Id wanted to stick a V8 in one of my 240s... Ive got a 93 Buick Roadmaster with a 5.7 that needs a valee guide redo, and Im probably gonna get rid of it before long. Im considering pulling the motor and rebuilding it for future use in the Zed. Only thing really holding me back is the fact that its a 93 L05 and not the LT1 that they used in the 94-96 roadmasters. Is it worth stroking out to 383 or should I just scrap it and go find an LT1?
Wow. Beautiful color. Definately a good look. For a long time I wanted to paint my orange 73 a color similar to this (I was eyeballing HoK Tangelo Candy Orange). Looks great.
Im diggin the silver stripes. Ive been thinking of doing something very simlilar lately. I had my valve cover ceramic coated white and silver/grey. It looks awesome and I cant wait to get it on. Ill have to take some pics of it.
Looks great for a rattle can job. My only beef with it is that it seems to kill the subtle lines of the Z. IMO any and all paint, trim, graphics, etc on a Z should enhance the lines, not hide them.
Dont know if it will work for you, but when I went to K&N (on my webers) I just cut up the stock filter assembly. They actually had some pretty decent horns in em. Kut em out and bolted em on inside the K&Ns. Worked like a charm.
Nothing wrong with it, just not what Im looking for. I have the original '72 white right not and its a very bright white. I want to keep that but add depth.
Love the purple in that p-factor
That stuff is actually stock. Most these days are using the "euro" bumpers that done have the rubber or the vertical bars. My bumps look exactly like that picture and are 100% stock (minus the shiney new chrome).
As far as the valance, I dont have one on mine yet. Still weighing my options and trying to scrape together some cheese. The one on the car in my sig pic (which isnt my car) ist just an MSA Type 1
