Metal headlight bucket?
Carl, I have been using Fiberglast for years-shortly after the owner died,and the wife took over- what a difference she made! They are not the cheepest, but they are the most knowledgeable, and the most willing to share info. Their videos and printed materials are excellent, as are their composit materials. Will.

No firewall Vin
NO! it should be stamped ito the firewall near the Master Vac. The vin should be on the tag one the fenderwell, the ds door post, the dash tag, and the firewall, and all should match! Will

Polished FI intake manifold
I have seen info on both leaving rough and polishing, but never the difference between only those two options. From a purely aerodynamic standpoint I can see a benefit in non-polished runners in not allowing a laminar flow to form(as well as keeping the fuel suspended), but from another angle, I can see a benefit in smoothing the rough casting/core edges to lower drag. Any real numbers out there? One of the things I want to try is smoothing(not polishing) the interior of the intake(and giving all of the runners a uniform cross-sectional size and volume) and installing a variable vane vortex generator just ahead of the mouth of each runner . This would generate a uniform turbulance to break up the laminar flow, and allow(from the "tornado" web page) a greater volume of air to pass through the runner. It sounds good anyway! Will

Leave the spoiler black against the silverpaint, chrome bumper and rubber strips, it looks perfectly at home!!! Will

Polished FI intake manifold
John, There is a processes called "Extrude Honing" that is used inside the intake manifold to smooth the air path-as I recal it is a couple-three hundred dollars to have done, and it essentially biols down to forcing a high viscosity liquid loaded with abraisives through the intake at very high pressure.

Garage floor paint Question
I used the Rustoelum gray 2 part epoxy-I did not use the sprinkels-, and it scratches too easily-no floor jack use, but I do scoot heavy boxes around-hence the scratches. Rubber wheeled dollies do no damage. The floor is not slippery when wet with anything buy oil, and it is impervious to solvents. Will

What did you cover when undercoating?
Enrique, That is exactly where I am! Por15 on-and where to go from there! I asked the question to get some help with what to use next. Herculiner was the product I had in mind-for the exact same reasons Ed outlined. I had a spray in liner put in the truck the day after I bought it. I will research a little more before I coat the underside. I have also bought a sound/thermal insulation paint/sealer for the inside of the floors, and made an application if metal ready to be certian that every area been addressed. Will

What did you cover when undercoating?
I am soon to be at the stage where I turn the Z upside down and coat the underside of the floor with Bedliner, rubberized undercoating, or something similar. What areas did those of you who have been here before leave uncoated-what areas need to be left clear mounting-if any? My wondering is due to this synergy: when conventionally undercoarting, the mounting surface are protected from buildup by what ever is mounted to them/undercoating with no suspension (or protection of the mounting areas thereof) will add 1/16"-1/4" to the suspension tollerances. It may be no issue, but I would rather ask and look stupid, than apply it and have to spend a day removing permanent material. Will
