rodizzle Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Well here it is, my first build thread on this site. I am looking forward to see what comes out of it.

78zstyle Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Why are you taking all of that out? To fix the front cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodizzle Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yes sir. It's cracked along with a crack harmonic balancer. I needed more room to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Not too crazy about lime green but it looks pretty good on your Z with black hood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodizzle Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm not to crazy about the lime green either. In person it looks good, but It isn't my type of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
