Cool. It'll be nice to see another Z out there.
How come you removed the speaker boxes? Not considering Spec Z down the line?

Door to door racing if at all wont be for years to come, plus. To be honest, I hated that speaker box metal from day 1, the car looks so much nicer in the inside w/o it.

Nice start, I think just the upper part of the rear structure is coming out of mine soon. I want to wall off the glove box area for my swirl tank

Are you keeping SpecZ in mind for the future? If so, you might want to really look at what you are cutting out.

Not really, mainly focus right now on time trials. I know you can still race in NASA, just not in Spec Z, like ThreeFiveZero Z

Lots of full on builds like this coming out. Looks good. That sound deadening glue is a PTA though.

Good luck with this build! You are ahead of me on my stripping of the interior. I'm removing the speaker enclosure in the very near future =)

Nice! Better than mine with 30k on it lol. My max was 245 hp on Hal's dyno.
Do you have test pipes?
