That's nuts!

Good to hear that you finally got her. Keep us updated on her progress every now and again. I'm sure that there are plenty of us that would be willing to donate something to help bring her back to life.

Alan, no apologies necessary. I totally agree with you. If we don't keep the information accurate it will change over time thus not being accurate anymore. -
I just looked at other ones here on this website and others. Once I had a good idea of what was needed I bought some 2" steel tubing, a welder and my imagination did the rest. -
I got this from E bay a while back.

I had a problem with vibration when I turned. It ended up being bad tierods. Have you jacked up the front end and tried to shake the tire. Grab it from the sides and see if there is any play. It might also be the axle shaft bolt is too loose.

Alan, I fixed the caption.

After the rusted metal was replaced and butt welded with new metal it was stripped clean. Por-15 was applied over the bare metal. Then coated with the Por-15 top-coat. After that was allowed to dry for a couple of weeks it was roughed up with 100 grit. Then wipped down with Xylene. The bedliner product was applied then. I used a thin coat instead of the usual thick 1/8". -
Two questions, 1. Wouldn't moisture and dirt get into the headlight area by way of the headlight itself. I mean the headlight assembly is "sealed" with a rubber gasket to prevent moisture coming from the wheel well area. But from the area between the headlight bucket, (aka sugar scoop) and the fender there is a gap that will allow moisture and dust to enter the headlight area. 2. Is there a difference between the G-nose headlight cover and the plain Z? I think I know the answer to this one but I want to be sure. It's longer right? Ed

Yea Mike, you are right, I am inquiring about the retaining ring. I want to have them redone and I can't tell what it is. If it's stainless I could polish them up myself.
-
I was looking at the rings that retain the headlights. Are these chrome or Stainless steel?

Chris, thanks for the offer but I got it. I the pictures I was trying to upload were 1600 x 1200. So I've reduced the size of the file and it's working now.

There she is going to get a fresh new coat of paint. -
Reassembled the car before it goes to the paint shop.
-
I don't get it Carl. I can't. I'm sure it's some technical doo-hickey. Oh, well, I'll keep playing with it to see the max size I can get.
-
New undercoating. I used Herculiner, a do it yourself truck bedliner.
-
After the rail was welded and painted I welded a 1/4 steel "skid" plate. She won't be bending anymore. -
New rail welded in place. I left the excess for extra support. -
Painted with Por-15, holes drilled ready for new rail. -
Hi everyone, I was unable to upload pictures I'm guessing because they were too big 1024 x 768. I tried uploading a smaller picture and it worked. Does anyone know what the max size of a picture that can be uploaded is? Also any suggestions on how to reduce or shrink my pictures. I'm using windows XP if that helps any. Thanks

One of my favorites!

Either replace it with another, make a new one, or try and clear the blockage in the one you have. Also inspect the tube for a kink. Maybe you hit a rock or something that flatened the tube? To clear it, disconnect both ends and try reverse pressure with some compressed air. Or run a wire through the tube.

My vote is wheel balance. Take it to a tire store for a proper balance. Do not take it to Wal-mart! Those Mickey-Mouse mechanics couldn't find the underside of a car if it ran them over.

Post some pictures of the engine bay and the interior and let the Z Police give you the answer.

You can definately put me down for a pair! :classic:
