Ron sent me a couple of pictures Friday night after putting 4 coats of 2K primer onto the body. Yesterday he was busy working on the body and the doors as he starts into the bodywork stage. I'll head out to see the car today and help him put it onto the rotisserie if he hasn't already done that. It's coming along nicely and won't be long before it's back on its wheels while being blocked out for color.

I thought of your build last night when this rolled across the block. The TV guy said "You'll never see another one" Ha.

That link didn't work for me, but if it's another yellow on yellow Z/28, I've now learned of at least 7-8 of them and I am sure there are plenty more. The option list on this one does make it pretty unique though. That being said, I have yet to find another yellow Z with the liquid tire chain option?

I was out to check out the progress and looked at the doors today. The driver's door had a dent at the front edge that Ron uncovered and pulled before fixing a couple of other spots & applying epoxy to the inner seams. He'll finish the doors and get them into primer along with the inside of the car before it goes onto the rotisserie.

OK. I have seen pictures of that car. An X-77 body with the Style Trim Group added to the outside along with the blacked-out rockers. I contemplated doing that but cannot bring myself to add trim to this car. The difference between the 2 cars as far as options go is that this one is a chambered exhaust car, originally had a tilt column with a rosewood wheel, and of course the V75 option. It will be restored that way but will not have its numbers matching driveline. Instead, it has a well built 350 solid roller and an upgraded M23 transmission. in addition, it will be dressed entirely different than stock when it comes to wheels, tires, and suspension. It should also be able to blow the doors off any stock Z/28 which I am totally OK with. (lol)

After pulling a dent out of the driver's door, Ron stripped the other side today to find a deep slash that was buried with filler. He cleaned it out, pulled the dent, and got it straightened before priming both of the doors. The good thing was that there was virtually no rust in either door. Floor and firewall work will come next. Looks like the orange door was set up for a remote mirror. That hole will need to be welded up.
