AydinZ71 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Clean work man! Very impressed. Great job! Doesn’t seem like you got any heat warpage. A real accomplishment on rotsun steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposed Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Work has slowed down abit so currently have my sundays back! Got started on the front fender. Did a quick mock up with tape and installed my new turn signal then started laying out some lines on some sheet metal. The plan is to try to have the front fender blend back into the orginal fender and the door, fingers crossed i dont have the remake this peice a whole bunch of times. I ended up notching out the one sections for the turn signal and folding the metal back. After taking another look at it im not to sure I like the cut out section. Might decide to remake it and go for something that feels more fluid. Thoughts? opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'm not following this. Is the intent to create a fender vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 @Nelsonian yes that was the idea. Feel as though it isnt flowing well though, might finish the panel then just snip that section out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Okay now I see what your going after. I have come up with a fender vent option for my build that I'm still on the fence about. I had bought a set of used FD3s RX7 fender vents and had them blended into the front Ztrix fiberglass subtle Z fenders. Still trying to get visually used to them, but ultimately want to vent hot under hood air as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Another long weekend down and a bit more finished on the Z. Passenger side panel remade again... still need to adjust for spacing and give it abit more shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Slowly plugging away. Hopefully this is the last bit of rust left on the car.... A lot still needs to be cut away and remade. The door skin and driver side frame is up next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jboogsthethug Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Great work as always man! Keep that up! I want to get back to working on my Z. We are selling our house and buying a fixer upper so it might be stagnant for a few months while I finish that up. I'll rely on you for inspiration!

Exposed Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 @JboogsthethugThanks! I know it can be hard to find time. I'm hoping to have it outside of the shop sometime this year, glad its winter here for 8 months, gives me a bit more time to work on it 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Filler panel for the driver side and remade a wider skin for the rocker panel. Drilled out a couple holes and welded a nut at the front and back of the rocker panel to hold down the new skin. Pretty happy with how its turning out, need to start on the door soon.

Exposed Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Small update from this weekend. Passenger side is getting welded up. Having some issues with symmetry but think I'm going to just leave it as is and run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AydinZ71 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Looks good! you will likely be using a thin section of body filler at those lap joints anyways, so no need to be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 hopefully I wont need as much filler as the last guys 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jboogsthethug Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Dude this kind of bodywork is incomprehensible to me. You're just building the entire fender ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jboogsthethug Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 haha moving along faster than I am at this point. Bought a new house that's one giant project and all of my free time goes to remodeling. It pays off in the long run but it's a killer to my social life and hobbies ha.
