Marc.........New fan and fan clutch.......I cleaned the brake lines with brake cleaner and steel wool and painted them with aluminum VHT paint. Hunter.....I glass beaded the aluminum parts and painted them with aluminum block paint. I screwed the valve cover down to a flat piece of wood and taped up all other entry holes.......one piece of grit can be bad news. Same thing with the oil pan.....bead blasted that, then acid etch prime, then semi gloss black enamel.

Guy, where did you find a new fan and fan clutch if you do not mind me asking:)

The engine looks awesome also.

Jeff .......You really need to see it in person.....it's everything we hoped for 3 years ago. Chuck is "The Man"!

Now my car can get some attention.;)

PS: No more "do you have touch up paint jokes". It's rough on the the proprietors nerves.LOL

I'm speechless, The Z is amazing. Sure glad you got it finished for ZCon. Might have to make a trip to Richmond to check out the Z's and the 510.
