Message	dismantled. I did extra sanding on the gap where the handle typically rubs on the paint when opening the doors. So now, even after adding paint, there is no rubbing whatsoever. Door panels and seat belts came off, hinges, mirrors, latches, and everything else external was removed. But I did not do the engine bay yet. I am waiting for the next engine pull to do that. I should have done it when I rebuilt the engine about 15k miles ago. I did paint the engine black, & body color (ultra red) when it was rebuilt, but i didn't take the time to do the engine bay. In hindsight, I wish I would have. But, that leaves another project to do. What fun would it be to own a 300zx, if I didn't have 10 more projects planned that needed to be done? :-)
