Wiggins3377's 40th Anniversary Z

Wiggins3377 · 06-11-2013, 09:02 PM

It's been awhile since I've made a post, but I've continued to add items to my engine bay. Nothing crazy yet, but I pulled more bronze into my bay. I already had my Top Secret oil cap painted, but decided to strip it and reprint my self. Color is a little more matte because I sprayed matte black first on each coat followed by a coat of bronze. Finished up with three coats of clear. It doesn't match the wheels perfect, but I think it looks good. Decided to paint a couple other pieces to match as well, including my Password JDM Fender Washers. I still need to put 6 of my 15 washers in, but not sure where I can put them. I'll figure something out.

I also purchase an aftermarket aluminum radiator overflow tank a few weeks back, and was hoping to have it in time for Midwest Z show this weekend, but it doesn't look like it'll get here

. Debating if I should paint it bronze as well or maybe have someone airbrush a "burnt" look on it to match the intake tubes (I don't think you can get the burn effect on aluminum, someone chime in if you know something I don't). What do you think?

I also mounted my iPad mini using ProClip products, it's not as clean as doing something in the cubby hole, but it'll work for now.

One more thing, I may be bagging my Z real soon, I'll keep you updated.

My iPad mounted (bad shoot sorry):

Absolutely beutiful! you sir, have done an awesome job!

Quick update. I received Simota1's old red grounding kit in the mail yesterday. I have to say he did a great job putting these together (based on his Z I wouldn't expect anything less). I've been looking at the Stillen kit for a while and I'm definitely glad I waited. I'm also still waiting on my aluminum overflow tank

. I was told it shipped out a few days ago, but still haven't received any tracking information and communication between myself and the distributer is spotty at best. Hopefully I'll get that by weeks end that way I can install the tank and the grounding kit at once. The tank is an easy swap out, so when I go to get it airbrushed to match the "burnt" effect on my intakes it shouldn't be a big issue putting the plastic tank back for a few days.

Speaking of "burnt" effect, I located and purchased a fairly rare used part that will go great within my intakes and painted overflow tank yesterday, the best part... no wait! Here's a little sneak peak. Hopefully I have them in my hands within the next week!

. Gonna try to install this Sunday. I need to replace the hoses, since they are pretty gross, but i sent Z1 a message so hopeful i get some red ones within the week. I'm also gonna have to take some of my Z1 hoses out, so I'll be posting those for sale within the week.
