Spraying of all the hollow parts against rust?
It would be wise to avoid such weather with you Z as much as possible. That Ford has corrosion resistance that the Z will never have no matter what. If you have to drive your Z in such weather probably wise to flush everything with fresh water.

Cowl - Top Inner rust repair
I've put about $10K in the paint and body, and mine was rust free compared to yours.

That might be wise.

Spraying of all the hollow parts against rust?
I certainly wouldn't spray any oil products in there. The Eastwood stuff appears to be made for rust surfaces to stop and prevent further rust.

I have one of these that I picked up at Costco for about $150 I think.

Pertronex ignitor and coil problem
Did you eliminate the ballast resistor? I have to check mine, but I think even if you go with a 3 Ohm coil, you need it for the tach. Correct me if I get this wrong.

You have a 72 seat that uses strapping? I thought they went to spring seats that year.

Air box door cable clip
27156-S0100 I believe this is the part number. The "S" may be a "5", but not sure check both.

Painting it afterwards is going to be a trick too.

How did you fabricate the new intake duct?

Haha, thanks. I don't think I'm in the same ballpark. But that is some nice work there.

Cowl - Top Inner rust repair
Part #66310-E4600 is where the air intake for the HVAC fan is located. The fan is bolted to the underside of this cowl over the intake opening. This intake is a sheetmetal rounded rectangular duct with a flange that is welded to the cowl. I have rust around the flange of this intake that is allowing water to leak onto the passenger floor area. This intake is covered by a shroud on the Cowl - Top outer (66300-E4600) that keeps rain from entering this intake. It appears to me the only way to access this intake from the top of the cowl, is to cut out the shroud so that the rust hole can be treated and sealed. Has anyone else had rust issue here? If so, how did you attack this? It appears that they tried to apply a thick bead of sealer/caulking around the this intake (at the factory?) to keep water away from the flange. I used a video boroscope to look under the shroud but it was very difficult to see the rust because of the limited maneuvering of the camera under the shroud. Before I start cutting around on this sheetmetal, I wanted to get some thoughts from you guys.

Sound deadening and heat shielding materials
BTW, how is this stuff holding up under the heat of summer? Does it remain stable?

Hmmm, I still can't make up my mind about which product both performs and is easily installed/applied.

Well I thought it would be nice, but can't speak for ZCON and this should probably be done by the people that knew him best.
