fyanrudger Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Above was shot on January 1st 2014, when she broke down and had to be towed home. It barely left the garage after that and it took 18 months of off-and-on work to replace all rust with fresh metal, cage it, strip it to metal, do all the body work, switch to all fiberglass parts except for doors, rewire it, and return it to the original 1972 factory color it came in. First car I've built on this level and I'm hyped to be near the end. Still have some work to do, but I have to go on a work trip for a week so this is where it sits now and I'm too anxious to not post a couple photos it somewhere.

Zetsaz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 rooger, are those Craft Squares (or some similar knockoff) on your car? I've been considering getting something like that. How do you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai7one Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Finally got my Z on the road after months of abusing myself to (mostly) finish the project on schedule. I couldn't be happier with the results. Now time to begin ordering jets so I can tune my carbs.

Samurai7one Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) more pics: Runs really strong. Idles well and screams once on the main jets. Its the transition that needs to be fine tuned. Lots of reading to do here. I have about 3 hours of driving on it now and it just seems to get better every time I drive it. handles like a go-kart. I got the 5K springs front and rear on the BC coilovers and I like the ride with dampeners set all the way soft. Took a chance on the muffler, Its perfect IMO. The sounds this thing makes are intoxicating!!! Edited October 21, 2015 by Samurai7one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
