Very cool 510

Very nice man.

As you can clearly see my son as always is firing on two less cylinders! Guy

Here are the latest pictures of my dad's Z restoration.

This car is in need of a passenger side perfect dogleg (not Tabco) If anyone in AZ or CA has a perfect right side dogleg, I'd love to hear from you! Guy

Hi

I like the way the work goes!!! Very nice, looks perfect both of them!

This car is in need of a passenger side perfect dogleg (not Tabco) If anyone in AZ or CA has a perfect right side dogleg, I'd love to hear from you! Guy

I was thinking of getting Tabco doglegs for my car. I would be interested to know why you don't like them.

TIA,

Marty

Marty - I'm not sure why my Bodyman doesn't like them, but I do know he's a perfectionist and indicated that the fit wasn't good. I think a lot of guys on the forum have used them (made them fit) with some success.......you could check out some of the previous links to dogleg repair. Hell the dogleg on the car right now looks pretty good to me, but it's not OK with Chuck (and I want this car to be perfect!). Guy

Anyone have experience with these guys? We have been looking at this site but haven't found anyone with personal experience

Here are some more updates of my dad's car.

The new clip welded in. Brand new OEM fenders and hood. The Arizona rear quarter completed! It won't be long now until the sanding,priming and paint goes on. This will be a concours Safari Gold Z! Another Z is saved from the Boneyard. The 240Z is truly a "real cool ride"!

It is so great to watch the progress you are making. I have no doubt that it will be stunning when finished.

Looks like the ugly rust monster has eaten through the lower sill section as well. I know it's not concourse but it would be wise to extend the cowl drain hose down to avoid the issue in future. I have brushed that area with copious amounts of fisholine in an attempt to prevent it happening again to mine. Make sure you make new cowl drain hoses as they perish and split causing water to drip into the footwell, behind the firewall jute and under the carpet jute as well...nasty. I think Enrique posted his mods in a thread a few years ago. If you search for it you will find some sound advise.

Keep them pics a coming.
