Wow the thing is glowing more than ever!!

I know Aj is a big fan of Zanio and has used it. What are your thoughts? Is it worth the effort, how many hours did it take you to do the entire car. Also how is that clear bra stuff holding with those rock throwing monsters you have on the back end of that power house?

Now that the weather has cooled a tad I think I need to twist your arm and get you to take me for a ride.

The brakes still have a little knockback, but it's managable. It's barely noticable on the street.

The Zaino is really a pain in the ass. I spent about 4-5 hours on the car. The polish that I first used called the z5 is supposed to fill in minor imperfections and light scratches. After the first application, the shine was very noticable. I then reapplied it and finished with the z2. I really can't say I noticed any extra shine after the final two applications. The z2 is supposed to be the last step and it has sunblock. The z2 was also very hard to get off compared to the z5. We'll definitely have to get out for a ride. I have a race coming up on August 23rd in Primm.

The car really isn't finished. I still need to add the AC and something for the Ipod. I'll also be adding an accumulator, oil cooler, and possibly a 2 pass radiator soon. I think the tweaking part of the build is my favorite. At the end of the day, it's a custom build and it takes miles to make them reliable enough for the street, let alone the track.

Looks great! Really had to restrain my self from making a nice 'rides' joke.

Just noticed, maybe it's covered in the past 69 pages but how come one black bumper and one chrome?

Ha..ha.. I just like the ass end of a 69 with a chrome bumper. I admit it worked better with the other wheels. Hows Fuel?

Nothing wrong with a nice black ass end...

FUeL is great just finished up a conversion to a full DSE front clip, mainly to get a bigger (wider) front wheels. But also added dual adjustable shocks front and rear. With all that, needed new front brakes to fit the new front and that of course rolled into new wheels ...HRE's again all around. Few other tweaks in there as well. Like anything took a bit longer then expected. Really worked out good however as I sold all the 'old' stuff for a good price for both myself and the buyer.
