The quarter wheel openings are slightly flaired and the edges rolled. They only have about 5mm space on either side of the wheel/tire and strut tube. Its close and was a lot of trial and error fitting to get the correct wheel offset to work with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedc528 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What air dam is that? Modified type 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palosfv3 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 What air dam is that? Modified type 3? It is a combination of a MSA type 3 and the aftermarket spoiler that was previously mounted to the car. I'm unsure of exactly who made it but you still see them on Ebay regularly. There is a picture of the unknown spoiler on the picasa link below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Wow! That's a nice looking Z!!! I especially like the nice clean bottom side, and the spotless engine bay. Great job. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzeal Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Larry- Congratulations on your build! What a fine looking, one of a kind, Z. I'm especially impressed with the front end. The craftsmanship looks top drawer and the design is excellent. If you ever have a mold made of the hood for composit versions, I'll be first in line. Oh, and you'll have to produce a bumper too, to match the radius of the hood. Really nice, enjoy it! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was recently featured in this months "Rod & Custom". This is the second car I have built using his design talents.

Netrix Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Car turned out great. That hood is awesome. I like how the lines come forward from the scoop, instead of together like the SS hood. I also second the comment about too much tread, your tires are monster trucking the car. Not sure if the suspension just needs to settle or what.

angry_dave24 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That is a masterpiece, my is still in the infant stages, seeing cars like that really motivate me to drain my modest bank account. damn i need a raise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the suspension just needs to settle or what. The car has coil overs and I just haven't set them to the lower settings. Trying to keep everything under the car in place till spring.
