Deja Vu: 1971 Restoration

Updates from the paint shop.   Slow going, but glad everything is being addressed.  A couple small holes in the floor have been welded up.  Plugs welded in where the AC hoses used to be.   The orange paint is in, PPG brand, 918 orange.  That is a good sign.

I have 918 color code.  Do you think PPG was the OE paint supplier? That would be kind of cool. 

I really have no idea.  I am guessing the paint on the original Z's would be a Japanese supplier just for logistics.  PPG seems to be one of the better quality paint suppliers and is recommended by most of the guys on the site here.

Cleaned up and lubed the half shafts today.  I went with the bare metal clear coat on the half shafts.  I did this on my '71 and I think it looks great.  I could go with black, but then everything underneath is black so it looks kind of plain when in reality, these are pretty cool looking parts.

I would call it ironic timing on the carb arrival as my wife and I went to the Queen + Adam Lambert concert at the Hollywood Bowl last night.  Of course they played one of my favorite songs; 'I'm in love with my car'.  I think my wife thought I was getting into the song a little too much....and then the 'carbeurettas' show up.
