So I spent the weekend putting more money, sweat, and chunks of my knuckles into the Z.

Installed the fuel cell and a 25 lb sheet of diamond plate steel in my trunk.
New Stuff 52 Lbs.
Old Stuff 40 Lbs.
Gained 12 Lbs.

Before:


After:


Some more bodywork done:

drooooooooooool!

By the way... It's a PITA to cut Diamond Plate Steel with a sawz-all.

I went through 3 metal blades cutting out the plate.
I also snapped 6 drill bits drilling out the 20 holes for mounting it.

lookin good!

What's the project for?

its for pure awesomeness.

Pretty Much!

Actually, it's completely purpose built, for no specific purpose.

It's a fair weather car. No Roof, no heat, windows, window mechanicals, radio, interior etc.

It's about 2400 lbs with a (Mild built )chevy 350.

It should run some great 1/4 mile times.
Not sure about handling or braking.
It's going to be a lot of fun, but very impractical and will only be out on weekends to go to car shows. And as a secret weapon for when the muscle guys talk **** about imports...

Hey Tough Guy, I've got a datsun that will smoke your 'vette, Put $500 up if you want to see it.

Maybe that $500 will get you proper tools to do the work [8D]

so whats all this metal about??

the car is a classic so build it that way
