Beautiful. Congratulations are in order, now the fun of reinstallation. One step closer to driving.

I love it! That's old school flared Americana. I know I'm supposed to like only stockers and only ZG flares, but I just can't help myself. Just looked at nearly the clone of you car in dark blue with the same flares. Think I'll go back and buy it.

those flares are one of a kind and 20 plus years old. the car spent most all of it's life in california where the original custom body work was done.

thank you three very much for the kind words, this car is my,

"pride and joy".

Great Job! And you are a mac user too! I didn't know there were Mac and Z lovers out there like myself!! WHOO!

Well done. That looks excellent. Why not tell everyone how you went about getting it done? Maybe post some pics of the restoration if you have any.

WOW! Makes me want to get in the garage and get buisy!

thank you all very much,

the link from the number 1 post will take you to a page with other sets of photos and movies showing some of the stages. the most popular and i feel one of the best decisions was to media blast with baking soda.

it will be a few weeks before the doors and hood go on as i must install the wiring harness and thermal/ sound barrier.

From what I've read, soda blasting doesn't remove body filler. Did you have to do any work around the flares after the soda blasting? What did the stripping cost?
