Oh, I saw the picture of the black carpet and figured you had the interior done. I've been waiting for someone to do a black interior in a SUV to see how it will look. I'll wait till it's done, lol.

It is relatively done, as in the carpet is in, seats are in, dash is in, etc (been this way for about 9 months)... I just need to button it up. Glovebox needs to go in along with a couple other misc dash pieces that were painted... it still has a bit to go though and given I don't have a rear seat or any rear panels and don't plan to add them in the future, there isn't much to see.

I'll try to get a few pics on here in the next week showing where it's at right now. I'd also like to rework the door panels at some point, though it isn't very high on my list.

Hoping next weekend I'll be able to get the exterior mostly sorted, but since I plan on putting a body kit on my Z I don't know how much time I'll have.

The tailcaps are taking forever to cure because it got "cold" this last week in AZ. They are still a little tacky so I can't wetsand them yet.

Just for fun I measured the fender heights today.

Front: 43.5"
Rear: 41.5"

Not bad for being on little 33" tires.

Installed the bodykit on the Z yesterday so haven't made any progress on the truck. I still need to figure the grill out. I'll probably take a llittle hiatus from vehicles until after the holiday because I have a lot of projects to get done around the house and vehicles have eaten my last three weekends.

I might get around to the taillights aand tailcaps today though, we'll see.

Pic of bodykit? lol


I'll get some soon. I went for a nice drive on Sunday in it, I should have brought the camera along since I stopped at some places that would have been nice for pictures.

It's raining the next couple days here in Phoenix, so it'll be a bit. Funny, I didn't think there would be any interest in the Z here whatsoever.
