Ceramics done.

That should keep my carb/engine bay heat down quite a lot.

The days of vapor locking with my 1974 1/2 260z sure comes back to me now.

I had a set of those that were on my '77 280Z. Kept them in the attic of every place I lived for 35 years. Then, the last time we moved, I finally threw them out, a few years back.

Slow progress getting sheet metal and finishing prep done. (Painting and bodywork with pros but slow going getting through it)

In the meantime my friends down at ignite Performance let me pitch in on some of the easy stiff doing a front end rebuild. (I plasma cut the old front end off the donor car and drilled out some spot welds.

Fun.
