Home Built by Jeff Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) I finally threw in the towel and I bought a new repro bonnet for my Z. It took a lot of time, but I finally have it all fitting up the way I wanted. Edited March 30, 2018 by Home Built by Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Built by Jeff Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) This week I get stuck in to do the final alignment of all the panels and start the body filler. It is a slow process, but if I want it done right I need to take my time and keep plugging away at it.

Home Built by Jeff Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 This week I learned a lot more about engine rebuilding and I lapped the valves. I then needed to work out my engines compression which meant CC'ing the combustion chambers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
