Yes the car is back! Man does it look better than I thought it would.

One slight oops taking the car off the trailer, front wheels rub the corner of the fender...made a slight bend in the pasn side fender...easy fix. The fender needs to be trimmed some more. That will take place once I get the front air dam on and more test fitting. Bad dog frame rails were welded on and lots of welding of new sheet metal. So "new" rust free fenders were used in the fronts and tabco was used in the rear to fix that mess I had. Enough of me talking....some pics!

Just getting to the shop:

JUPITER, Clive!!! I just can't imagine why those TRUCK TIRES would rub on your fenders! :shock: What size ARE those, anyway????

There's nothing more attention-getting than a VERY RED 240Z! The only way you could get more people to look at you is to set yourself on fire and run down the street, singing!

I can't wait to zee this car in person and hope it's ready for the Lime Rock Raceway day, and for our calendar.

NICE WORK! (put those flairs back on soon ~ it looks like a Matchbox toy without them!)

Well guys it has been a week and I have not touched this car yet. I am still coming up with a game plan on where to start.... I will snap a few pics of the parts going back on the car, CF tail light panel...euro tails...and a bunch of other goodies.
