Well I finally got Skittle running again. Had to put in a new starter and ohhhh does she sound nice with a new one in. I now have to re-align my belts to keep them from squeeling when i hit the gas. During the down time I primered her, did some minor body work and shaved the rear side markers. Next up finish the primer shave the front side markers, sand blast my iron x's and paint them to match. I also have to put in the front struts and springs, wire in an 8-track player and hmmmm get her checked for noxious fumes and registered. whew busy weekend.

 

and no pics???

 

yeah i'm working on getting some pics.

 

ummm.... 8-track player??? lol... what is this 8-track player you speak of?

 

yeah 8-track? i am unaware. Thats bad. i'm in the process of shaving my qtr. signal lights also, but for now i have to wait...raining.

 

Raining? It's 60 degrees and partly cloudy here today

 

90 degrees... Not a cloud in sight.

 

Sweet Sweet San Diego

 

77 and wind free here in vegas

 

79 degrees here, and not a cloud in the sky either.

 

woah now... I pretty much bagged my 1999 mp3 computer project because it was a bit outdated and you're throwing in an 8-trac player? Come on! My Nintendo ECU and Power glove is high tech compared to that....

 

yeah, it never got above 45 here, i was still outside working on the z, she's feeling better know but still not perfect...yet.

 

I have no idea what the temp is here... surrounded by solid concrete walls and 60hz fluorescent lighting. I get here when it's dark and I leave when it's dark... ;(

 

6 at night and around 30 degrees outside! I hate cold.

 

unlike Seattle's usual weather, its kinda cold and lightly raining.

 

don't know the temp--how 'bout short shorts and a tank top????
at nite--colder. need warmies at nite.

 

Yeah I Want An 8-track So I Can Hook Up A Sirus System And No One Would Be The Wiser. Come On Who Would Want To Jack An 8-track Huh?

 

An 8-track is so old, they'd probably mistake it for a Nintendo Wii and steal it anyway!

 

As promised here are some pics of what I have done to my beater as of now.

photochoped of what i might do with the rims.



The process of the clear getting stripped from the rims for paint prep.

Looking good Skittle, and I see you did the body in gray primer. It looks better, because when people see it. They know the Z is being fixed up. He he. Anyway your green color scheme is unique. Looking forward to the finished product.

 

me too... lol I'm not sure what i should do with the inset parts of the rims. green black or silver?? the lips will be pollished..


Ideas??

 

hmm, i'm going black or gun metal grey, with a polished or silver lip. Kinda like the mustang bullets....but i'm not sure yet.
