Message	Hey there. For those of you that care, the body work on my Z is now near completion. So far, all that is left is molding the grill onto the fascia, and getting the front fenders in the mail from spl (soon), and blending all the ducts off of them, then primer/paint/clear the car. Here are a couple pictures from the body shop today. The rears still have a little more smoothing to do, but we still got a couple days till the fenders should be in from Kuah (the man), so it's all good. Hope ya'll enjoy. The primer on the door sills is b/c I went ahead and had them also remove that weld line that goes along there on the stock body (filled it in with lead, then smoothed down)...it always bothered me. Oh, and there will be painting in the door sills and trunk and all, they just have it taped off for now, since it is just filling primer to smooth it down. Hehe...a guy down the street from where my parents use to live just brought this bad boy in today :) The body shop will be doing EVERYTHING on it, including a nice original 427...yes this is a fiberglass kit car, but do I care?...not one bit, cause it's still a Shelby Cobra 427 original or not...still my favorite car of all time! ] Thanks, Mike 1991 Black Twin Turbo (Show and Go) FAVORITE QUOTES----- "I think I'll pass on giving my car a handjob" - joel(PA) "I wish I had a woody.
