Re: Blue '71 Project

Finished up all of the rear battery cables, all ready to be hooked up to the battery. Not pictured: battery hold down and j bolts.

Re: Blue '71 Project

Finished up and mounted the battery tray. Ended up making it the size for a group 24 battery, the size that fits my Z, so I can swap batteries between the two cars. Also made a little box for a master disconnect switch. Drilled a hole in the firewall for the thru connection for the positive cable an...

Re: Blue '71 Project

Got all of the fuel hoses and such installed, ran the rear wiring harness back into place, and started routing a battery cable. Also started building a battery tray and figuring out where I want to mount that. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51365411552_e73dcc02eb_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr...

Re: Blue '71 Project

Thanks. I’m thinking of doing the same but not sure if I want the inside of the doors to be B/C or single stage. I’m thinking B/C for everything you can see (jambs, inside doors, under trunk lid) but single stage for floors, firewall, roof, inside pillars. Basically the pinch weld at the doors and ...

Re: Blue '71 Project

Thanks guys!

I've used single stage on everything up to this point. When I do the exterior, I'll use base/clear.

Re: Blue '71 Project

Finally had an opportunity to shoot some blue on the interior. It turned out okay, especially considering it'll be covered with sound deadening and carpet. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51317664902_1914068057_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51317664942_28f45e467d_k.jpg https://live.s...

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door

Great write up on replacing all of the hinge bushings. How would one get that bushing kit from Wayne Davis and any info on what the price was? I'm curious how the bushing kit differs from the one sold from Z Car Depot, https://zcardepot.com/products/door-hinge-bushing-repair-kit-240z-510?variant=321...

Re: Blue '71 Project

Haven't made a lot of progress lately, but did some work on the engine bay wiring harness. Went through it all and repaired some bad wires and terminals. Took off all of the old harness wrap, cleaned it up, and re-wrapped it with new harness wrap. Didn't take many pics, but here's a during and after...

Re: Blue '71 Project

The upper one is for the return line. Thanks! Great progress. Did you polish the license light housings by hand or machine? I started mine by hand and think I’m going to grab something from harbor freight to speed up the process. Thanks for all the pics, looks great. Thanks! Yeah I used a bench top...

Re: Blue '71 Project

Does anyone know where the larger (5/16") hose bib from the front of the fuel tank goes? The lower one (1/4") is the fuel feed to the engine I believe, but this larger one was plugged on my car when I removed it. There are two hard fuel lines running to the engine bay, one 1/4" one is...

Re: Blue '71 Project

The fuel tank was pretty scratched up, so I sanded it down and threw some fresh paint on it.

Re: Blue '71 Project

Got a bunch of rubber plugs for all of the miscellaneous holes in the floor and cleaned up and painted the jack handle and trunk latch.
