Wow, how long till color hits it?

Visited the body shop today. Car has been taken apart (mirrors off, trim off, front and rear facia off) and sanding has begun. He was going to remove the glass, but was worried the window gaskets may not be available and didn't want to damage the windshield or deck glass.

Mid to late next week he said he will paint it, then there is the additional items such as polishing etc. and put it back together.

Didn't take a picture, but there was a Hemi GTX and a Pontiac GTO, with LS3 conversion, there that he previously painted. The GTO is black and I couldn't see ANY imperfections in the paint at all. The GTX was a sort of aqua blue, no imperfections in it either. So I think this guy will do a great job.


I have talked to him about my 1983 280ZX. I think he really wants to do the work and is anxious to get the car. Likely an LS swap.......when money arrives! LOL

A couple of progress pictures.

Yesterday they were painting the hood, fenders, doors and front facia when I too these pictures. Said they were painting the rest of the car Friday afternoon....I said there isn't much left...LOL

1 more note - I had them roll the rear fender wells. Gave me about 1/2 for wider tires if I wish.

Coming along Kev, who's doing the work?

Work being done by DiMilo Collision in Leamington.

Not back together yet, but getting there. I leave for Texas On June 17.
Two panels between the windshield and the back deck were painted gloss black to simulate a glass roof when viewed with the T-tops in place.

Needs black wheels, but I don't have enough time to source and install. Maybe when in Texas I can find something....but the judged show is on June 21st.

Here are some progress pictures:

Start checking now for wheels in Texas if that's what you're planning, check craigslist, or z forums around there, or check for local shops and see if they can source anything for ya.
Looks like they're doing a great job on it.

Looking killer thus far.

Looking good! You need a GTR motor in there now. My friend is selling one all done up for $18,000.
