I'm about to take the roof and both 1/4's off my Z

Wow, that's a ton of rust. One quarter panel (complete) isn't that heavy, it's just a bit bulky to carry. I could pick it off the ground myself, but I could only take "baby steps" to move because the panel was leaning against my legs. I could only grip it like I was doing an upward row. I would've tried to flip it up and over my head, but I think my back would've been pissed.

Concours restoration. I want it to look like it's 30 seconds off the dealership lot.

$20 is a great deal, you even got the rare hood delete option.

$20 would be an awesome deal for any car...does it start, or run at all....?

It didn't when I got it, but it does now. I stuck an LGWhore in it.

Hey I just noticed you live in Houston! I live just outside of Houston, I know a great junkyard that has a lot of parts that your might need. It also had a nearly complete Crossfire Z a while back, it was the car I got my setup out of. BTW, I am reading your last post right? You will have that car painted by Monday? If so you work fast .

I painted it the day I got it. It looks like a ******* racer now. That's only temporary though.

Email me directions to the yard or post them here. black84z28@yahoo.com

Black84, I picked up my cheapie pen cam (by iCool) for $60 at an Office Max; that was a month ago, they might be even cheaper now! It's no great picture taker, but it does alright for a web page. It's such a pain in the *** to take a pic then scan it. I've got so many pics to scan in from my car's restoration that I think it'll take me weeks to get 'em all scanned.
