Project Resto 84 z28 Build

[Gottork]

nice progress

[Curt_irocz]

ok So I got a good update. The car was primed with Uratane 2k Primer, To seal it from rusting for a couple months, and Then I sprayed it with Hot rod Black Primer, cause the yellow doesnt look to good. I will be leaving it like this for a little while untell I finish the Drivetrain. I would rather drive it with flat black, then not have the money to finish the drive train, and it be painted. So the car was down to bare metal when I primed it. And I will be priming all the gfx, spoiler, hood, and rear bumper in a few days (wasnt enough room in the little bay) I think it looks good, and should be decent for now. BTW, The Body work is NOT done yet, and still had alot of dents and what not. I will finish body work before I paint it for the final time.
Here is the hood that I got for $50 bucks, it was a brand new Hardwood 3" cowl bolt on hood, it was badly damaged. But I reparied it.




The interior is still empty.

Few pics of me priming it.


2k urathane




Then I 320'd the whole car after it was dry, and Then today I painted the Black. Here it was after I unmasked it.





Also I got my crank back again, After being balanced, I mic'ed it and the last rod bearing jornal had a small tapper to it, So I had it ground about .0010 or soo. So Now I can start building my bottum end. Also I will be getting my heads tommarow, They are World products, Sportsman II's, 2.02 1.60 valved, 200cc intake runner.

Very cool man! I actually love the way it looks flat black like that. Looks great in the pictures! I am totally jealous you have the space and tools to work on your car like this, I would have loved to stripped mine down all the way like this. Keep it up man!

I hear and understand that man, thats kinda why I went the "cheap" route on mine. I am jealous and loving this build at the same time. Cant wait, btw I am in line for a ride when its on the road.

Looking great Curt! I think you are doing a great job here, and that motor looks mean as hell to btw. Good luck getting it in and running man, cant wait to see it on the road even in flat black!

LOOKS mean as hell? lol Pretty cool you can tell cam specs, compression ratio, CI, carb specs, and all that by just LOOKING at an engine. lol

Or you could take my comment to the next level Tom, what the hell? It looks good, nice clean engine and is going to look great in the engine bay. But if you must make such a comment yes I know what Curt is running in that and from what I understand it will run mean as hell as well. I dont get the comments...

[Curt_irocz]

Thanks Darren. I Also cant wait to get it running.
