Just full of milestones lately! Hopefully this will be the last time of landing the body on the chassis. It was a little bit higher stakes now that the body was painted. Scratches?? We'll see!

Thanks, Robert. Lots of prep to get here, that's for sure. Appreciate it. I need to get one of those Heritage certificates that you got.

Nice work. Body on the frame. A real real milestone. Definitely not a, “more than ten footer.” Looks great.

LOL, thank you. Maybe I can cut a buff it to a 5-footer!

Parts going back on is definitely exciting! I forgot how nice your chassis turned out too, looks great.
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Thank you. Wish I had found SPI before I did the chassis. I would have sprayed everything with their black epoxy instead of Rustoleum. Lesson learned.

Nice! Shop will feel bigger with the body on the chassis. I had a 240z a long time ago. I sold it to build a patio... Last project was the rebuild the SU carbs. ZTherapy is the key. Great guy and fantastic service.
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Yes, it does feel bigger. Just got to make sure we don't fill it up with more stuff! Those Z-cars are awesome. I had a 280 back in high school. 5-speed. Sold it before I left for the Navy. Shouldn't have.

Good job, great idea to test it before full assembly, also it'll give you a spur for the final push having driven it - although your enthusiasm and drive is as high as at the beginning! 😁
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Yes, definitely going to be a boost. That's at least as much of the reason as just making sure it all works!

What a great feeling when it starts to go back together! I am about 6 months behind you. Chris - one quick question - what lubricant did you use on your suspension bushings? Lucas makes one.
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Good deal! I didn't use lubricant on the bushings themselves because I used poly-bushings, which I understand don't require lubrication. I did, however, use Permatex Anti-seize (www.amazon.com/Permatex-80078-Anti-Seize-Lubricant-Bottle/dp/B000FW7VGE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6WJKM1U4GX7U&keywords=permatex+anti-seize+lubricant&qid=1567551586&s=gateway&sprefix=permatex+anti%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-1) for the bolts, even though they're galvanized, so they don't rust to the collars of the bushings. Had a heck of a time getting some of those out because they had rusted in the old bushings.

Looking good Chris, put some body filler over the runs so you dont go through the paint on either side but I'm sure you know that trick already.. Looking forward to the test drive, I'm about there with miy MK4.. Cheers..
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Good deal! You'll have to let me know when you take a drive. I've watch a few videos on using body filler in that way. Need to study up on that before I try it. Another viewer has recommended a razor blade. That scares me a bit, but as long as I'm careful, it may be less invasive to the surrounding area. Still not sure which way to go yet.

Chris, Trevs blog on RU-vid has a video on paint repairs, including the body filler method.

Why didn't you paint the floor.
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 5 лет назад
Hi, Ralph. A few reasons - I'm going to be putting down some sound matting and the carpet / vinyl will cover most of the areas I didn't paint. All of that combined to make me not want to waste paint on something that would never be seen.
