Auto layoffs = more time for the Z

Well there is enough doom and gloom about the auto industry, so I won't comment anymore about it. I am a tier 1 supplier to the auto industry, so when they are not producing cars, I am not suppling them. Well the plant I support is down for the next 5 weeks. I have been slowly gathering up supplies to fuel some project time that is now available to me.

 

I'll post more as I go, but I am ready to build a new storage area for my compressor and welder to free up some floor space. My heater works very well. I tested it out for the first time in my new garage when I slapped on the "ol" winter tires, and the garage holds the heat very well so far, so It should be comfortable to work in.

 

I bought a decent floor jack so I can comfortably and safely lift my Z up on to my new stands. Wow what a difference with a shop quality jack! Anyways I am going to get caught in the "while I'm at it" syndrome, so I may as well enjoy myself. The plan is to remove my signature front airdam lip, and I will begin the mockup for my redesigned bellpan, that will be more substantial than the one I have had for the last 10 years. I think I have had that lip on the car for more than 15 years. Don't worry though I'll make it look good. I also plan to work a bit more on the front end aero, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'm really looking forward to working on the car again. I'm trying to make the best of the situation, and this looks like a pretty good way to keep busy.

 

My updates will be posted in the aero section, and yes I will take pictures of the new jack! hehehe

 

Scott.
