Well, I went and picked up the Z this morning and the paint is finally done!

 

Gotta be honest...man, do I feel jazzed! It was awesome to go finally roll it back in to the garage for reassembly. To think that it started with this a year ago:

And here was this morning:

Today I was able to get the wiring done for the rear of the car and a few other things. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Thanks much guys. It's sitting pretty high right now. The coilovers are set about as high up as they can go to make it easier for them to tape up and get around the car when it was at the shop. I'll drop it back down here in the next week or so after I get to installing the brake lines and such.

 

Thanks again for the kind words. My goal is to get it finished in time for the Tulsa Route 66 car show in November.

We ended up having a "memorial service" :) and then cut just ahead of the strut towers.

 

Here was why:

What the pics don't show was the twisting and tweaking of the frame rail on the drivers side. At some point someone had covered the damage with bondo, but it was out by a quarter inch.

 

During the repair:

Yesterday (Saturday) I was able to re-run the wiring harness, wire up the taillights, antenna and subwoofer. Hope to make more progress today.
