Just a quick note. Had mine done and the guy does many jobs for local restorers. Charlotte Soda Blasting. Great guy, does good work. You do have to get the residue off. He is very specific about...

Brooks, all good advice above. Save yourself some time with the passenger floorboard and don't try to get the tar mat off. Its toast. Just cut the whole board out. If you think the drivers side is...
Steve, great job on the rehab. I have followed it and I know it has had its pitfalls. Looks great!! Good luck on the rest!
Lonny, that ain't bad at all. The outside pic doesn't do justice to the underside pics. Mike is right, a dunk is good, I might suggest a soda blast. Not much work and you're back on track
What motor does Greg run??
Hey guys, back up after a time off. I hear you on the compressor quandry, been there. Started with the Craftsman 5hp 30gal tank(6scfm I think). Won't run a cutoff tool or strait line or da sander....
World Be Free, at first glance it could make you wince, but situation is normal. Do the thread search and you will find many threads about our friend rust. Pay attention to the frame rails and...
Ron, sounds like you got a good deal, especially with all the extra parts. I remember reading that one in e-bay and thought it was a good deal even if the body was shot. Post some pics. I'm the...
Shane, check out Jackhammers gallery, he did what Gary is talking about, though I'm not sure about the hatch. It always helps me to have pictures:-)
Looks great Dave, know your glad to have it going again, yeah the panasports look awesome
Eric, have a friend who has the 4 barrel. Ran rich forever, until he got a smaller Holley than the one that came with the kit. Could never jet it correctly and the outlying cylinders seemed to run...
Chris, my thought exactly. I am envious of Mikes floor pans. Saved a bunch of time(and money) on that one. Looks like his car is in great shape period. The white vinyl looks brand new. I would...
Sounds good Marc. Have fun and give us a call when you get to Iron Station
Marc, looks like a good find, even in the wilds of AK. As Jack said, once you start to get into it, you will find a lot of hidden "goodies"(read rust). But thats just part of the love. Clean it...
I thought the same as Lachlan, some sort of Fiat/Bertone design, but the rear doesn't look right
Agreed with Bob. Then you get into butt welding vs overlap and all that comes with that. It seems as though if you are real good you can butt weld but all the most seem to go for some version of...
Craig you beat me to it, that post by Zkid was really good.
Ken, looks like you got a great start on the Z. You can drive her around and have loads of fun, while upgrading a little at a time. Good pick. Rust in normal areas looks minimal. Good find
Donald, I wish I had seen this earlier, I would go look at it but now I have to go to TN. This looks like it could be a great starting point for someone
Wow, what a ton of parts. I hate those "family situations"!!
Good to have another NC Z'er on the site. Starting to be a good many of us in the neighborhood. Sblake01 can help you with that 280. Let us know how it goes
Brian sounds like you beat the nuts already, was going to throw my 2 cents in. I did like webdawg, used a long extension(3/8"), a knuckle swivel joint and a 14mm socket. I can't remember where to...
Lance good post, thought your prices for your services were very reasonable and if I could get my Z to look like that Nova, I would be a very happy camper. I'm only 3k miles away and still wish I...
Mine were a bit more stubborn Will. Used a different method. Had an air hammer with a bit that is used to separate exhaust tubing. Burned everything with a blue wrench until all rubber was gone. ...
Mark, I'm not sure of your proximity to the Tampa area, but there is a member here (26th Z) or Chris, who had his car dunked in a rust eating solution that gets everything off the body. I have gone...
