milesz Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ok, I am almost finished with this project. I owe sooo much to too many people; I am afraid if I try to list them all, I will leave someone out. But, I would like to thank Tom at Engine Wiring because he is a man of his word and took care of my problem when he didn't have too. If you guys need engine wiring or ECU reprograming, throw your business his way. You will be glad you did; I know I am. I could never forget Dan, for all his help. Guss and Jose at Master Aircraft, I can't thank you guys enough. If you guys need your air craft painted give them a call in Wickenburg, AZ they will do you right. I need to thank my lovely wife Inder and my baby boy Jeevan for putting up with me while I invested so much time developing this project. I will stop here but there are so many more people I could thank. The pictures goes throught the stages of the project and shows the then and now. It is a fun little car and I hope you enjoy the pictures. Let me know what you really think. Milesz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Looks amazing man! That interior is killer! Super clean and very crisp looking Job well done *thumbs up* How does everything run? The only thing I'm not loving is the exhaust tips, but that's completely superficial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSflyer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Wow! What a change! That interior is a huge upgrade from what it was. So, how many races/tickets are in your recent history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgeezer Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Miles, that is one fine looking Z. You're just a couple of hours drive on I-10 from me. Drive on over to Indio on November 1, 2008 and show your Z along side mine at the Indio Festival of Wheels. See indiofestivalofwheel.com. Mine will probably be shown in a number of baskets and as a tub on a trailer. I have a commitment from a family member to drive down one of his 10 second drivers to show with other modified Austin Healeys. It is also a small open header cruise, if you like to make noise. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragefear Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 oh my gawd! Thats insane! I hate that color! What did you use to get rid of it??? What kind of stripping did you do? What did you use for the interior? Like over the rear strut towers, what is that? Is it carpetting? That hood is sick! What one is it?

zgeezer Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Great work Miles. Is your shifter cable or rod operated? It looks as if it is a Maxima? Do you have any photos of your shifter/transmission hookup that you can share? Great car. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesz Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 I like the L-88 hood, but how close was the 5.3 stock truck intake to fitting? Thanks!! I would say about an inch or a little bit more.

milesz Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 oh my gawd! Thats insane! I hate that color! What did you use to get rid of it??? What kind of stripping did you do? I cant remember what stripper (what it paint stripper) I used. If you are really interested I could find out, let me know. What did you use for the interior? Like over the rear strut towers, what is that? Is it carpetting? Yes it is carpet. That hood is sick! What one is it? I found the scoop on Ebay and cut a hold in the hood.

Your profile says 'az'. What part of Bako are you in? I live in Oildale. So was the truck intake an inch too high, correct? Are you running the truck oil pan too? Give me a call sometime 661-565-2866, my name is Cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidistight Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 This guy hasn't responded to a single question since he posted this, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an answer... He was to busy with the wife and son probably driving all around in his new toy. LOL. Really like how clean the front seats look. I like you exhaust also, who makes it.

I like you exhaust also, who makes it. Thanks, the exhaust starts with a pair of Camaro intakes with the flanges cut off to fit and welding a 2.5 exhaust pipe from there. I choose to use the Hooker Tunable Mufflers and is very pleased with the result. The car is one of the quietest V8 I have ever heard at idle but give it some gas and you will wake the monster. Its a custom job that only cost $180.00 minus the mufflers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
