That's not rust.....it's an undercoating overspray! I'm aware of the link, but this car will never see soapless water.

My dad and I went over to check out the progress on his 71 resto. Wow is all I can say!! This thing is really coming along. It's going to be a real gem.

Excellent work! Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks Alex.......I can't wait either. Chuck is at the point where he should "roll" now......wait till you see his paint work. We'll keep you posted.

Updates from the restoration

Passenger side body work. It's getting close to paint The rear quarter is very nice.

Guy,

Love this thread. I gotta check out your cars next time I am in Richmond. I have been working on a Phillip Morris project in Richmond for a while now. I am headed up to VIR tomorrow to watch/photograph some SCCA racing. A lot of 240Z-280Z's as well as some 510's running this weekend!

kudos for using the Architecture blue prints for paint sheilds!

My brother would be proud. I have used engineering drawings for many creative things!

Mark.....would love to have you over......I just bought some PM stock....I'm a broker. Guy

The PM work is winding down. If I make another trip up to Richmond I'll let you know.

Few more updated pix of the passenger side getting prepped. She should be totally primed in a week or two
