I'll bite....where does one obtain dry ice these days?

I will try adding more heat....thanks for help

Guys (and ladies) As you may know, I am currently in search of rust on my 71. I am scraping up the tar mat (so far just on passenger side) as we speak. A heat gun is helping, but still a PITA. Anyway, my plan is to get the floor completely stripped then POR-15 the heck out of it. What about the trans tunnel and the rear deck? I still have the diamond vinyl on the trans tunnel. Is it worth taking that all off and using POR-15 under that? I guess the removal is just the console then the vinyl? I have not even looked at the rear hatch area. Is it worth stripping that all down as well? Is there tar mat back there? (UGH) Current photos in my gallery as I scrape.

If I ever get mine running, i won't be listening to the radio.... just the ENGINE!!! My hands hurt from scraping tar mat all night

Hey Walter...I am in Evansville.

Baron, what nose and rear did you put on it instead of bumpers? gnose?

I thought mine was rust free and am in the process of removing mine thanks to input here. Check my gallery for photo but I am finding a lot of rust under mine. A heat gun and a scraper is getting it up.

Mine, as you can see, is rotted out. Any suggestions?

Found this under the passenger dash... rusty and leaking something. Heater control? Any clues what it is?

Seeing as I will never be able to afford new bumpers, what do you all think about those aftermarket kits that add new nose and rear to the Z? I need to get whole body painted anyway. This price is sad http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6766&item=1876387671

I have 71 with original air conditioning. (Presume dealer installed but came with the car) Original owner claims it worked when the car was parked 14 years ago. During restoration, do I yank it all out? I don't need or want AC or is car more valuable with (non-restored) A/C? I am not going to go with the expense of fixing it. Thanks for advice. Will cost a couple of pics with questions from this weekend's work in the AM.... Thanks!

Hit $15,100 and still not the reserve price

Sounds like you do a whole bunch of labor for free if she then takes the completed car for the cost of repairs. I'd buy it outright now.
