forchunet Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi, Well I've been hit by the Z car bug since the first time I saw one three months ago. I've always wanted to restore a car and have always had my eye on a 60's model mustang up until now. Well I've ordered a couple of repair manuals as well as Frank Honsowetz's books. In the meantime I was wondering if there was any HybridZ members around the 757, Virginia area that needed an extra hand with their Z or wouldn't mind me watching as they rebuilt an engine or whatever actually. I just need something to curve my new found addiction while I continue to do more research. I want to jump into this but I want to go about it the right way so therefore Im trying to do my part and learn as much as I can before I spend a lot of money on a car that I know nothing about. Thanks! And I don't mind driving a ways if it's for the chance to learn something on Z's. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If no one chimes in you could always go through the forums and just read the threads that sound interesting. You learn quite a bit that way. Sorry, I'm a bit far down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I suspect you live in the Hampton Roads area (seven cities). I live over in Portsmouth. While I have to spread time across several responsibilites I do work on the Z often enough. Maybe I can help with a question or two on occasion.

ezzzzzzz Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I guess I should mention that I'm vice-prez of the TZCCVA club. Come join us next Monday evening for our monthly meeting at Frankie's Ribs off Providence Road in VA Beach. Starts at 7 for conversation and good food, then the meeting goes until about 9:00 or so. We're always looking for new members and you don't have to own a Z either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forchunet Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Wow. I'll definitely try to be there. Just bought a 78 Z and I could sure use some tips and knowledge on the restoration process. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hibame Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am in a similar boat as the OP, wanting to restore a Z, and I have been lurking around here for a bit reading stuff. Having a group or club in Phoenix to talk to would be cool if anyone knows of one. It always seems easier to learn when you can see it for real.

You might look up AZZCC http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7808/ or any number of other AZ clubs. there's a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
