akeizm Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 What I would give to have a shed like that! Also those seats you have on the floor. Did those come out of you z or they going in? If so what brand etc are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That's nice Mike. I want to do the same with mine next year. I like to look at the fine detail of your work on the suspension, and the way you mounted the fuel pump. Nice work. 8) Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Mike, When you get the body looking as good as the drivetrain and suspension components that's going to one sweet ride! What's you're opinion of the Arizona Z Car parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwik240z Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 You really don't mess around. That rotiserrie looks really nice for a home made unit. What a great idea. 2 engine stands that have been modified to stand taller. I like it. A home made rotiserrie for around $150. I will need to remember this for when I restore my 510. Since you posted the mugshots, which one is Mike and which one is John? It is nice to put a face to the names. Good luck with the body work.

maichor Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 It is so much fun to tip a car up on its side. Nice job! You probably already have the Rhino lining stuff, but if you don't I would go with POR-15. It is expensive, but you can do the undercarriage, the whole inside of the car and the engine bay for about $150 all told (metal ready etc.) I was so impressed with that stuff. WOW, Bullet proof. Just do it all at once because it is activated by oxygen. Rhino lining will be awesome too, but I don't believe that it reacts with rust like POR-15. Isn't it just a sealer to keep O2 out to prevent rust? I am not sure about that one, but POR-15 actually eats the rust, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 DAMN Mike!!! You don't screw around, do you?!!! Wasn't it just last week that you were blasting down the 1/4 mile!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Tim it was just last Sunday that I was on the 1/4 mile strip. I plan on taking the undercarriage down to metal and then seeling it with a apoxy primer then I will take it to a spray booth and have the linex or rinoliner sprayed on. I am going to use the same stuff that they use on the beds. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Have you considered the weight of the rino liner matl as compared to epoxy only?Nice shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 The seats are out of a Mazda Miata. So far I like all of the Arizona Z Car parts, no complaints. I have thought about the weight of the Rinoliner mat but I think that it will be a nice sound deedner. I am the shorter guy in the pic, John is the 6'8" tall guy that has a hard time getting into his LS1z. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Mike, What fuel pump is that hanging under your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Tim That is the Walbro gl392. I am going to take out the fuel system that I have and replace it with the Camaro plastic fuel tank. I have alot of work and very little time to work on my car. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
