I forgot to give credit to my wife. While I held each spring in place over the vise, she tightened down on the clamps getting them in place. I am one lucky guy. She is ALWAYS willing to help, very supportive, and "gets" all of the little "I can't use that bolt because it has the wrong head markings" lunacy of a restoration.

Sometimes I wonder why I obsess over some of these details. I was going nuts Sun nite because while cleaning the original screws that attach the rear wheel cyl, I lost one when the wire wheel launched it. Spent an hour looking for it. BTW, my wife found it serindipitously the next day about 15 feet from where I thought it landed.

Only one piece of glass is original to the car (back window) and I have even made a few hidden mods along the way, so it can never be a 1000 point car.

Still, kind of fun to put as much back to original as possible, and most of my mods are purely bolt on. Have some vintage Koni shocks, etc. I am sorry, but those original spiral shocks suck.
I have one more car project lined up after this (but will wait until we build our workshop -- I hate doing this work in the attached garage), and after it is completed, I will probably put the original engine and tranny in the Z with all the smog stuff in place. Will still drive it for fun, but will use the other one to get the adreniline going.
