The 3M tape is great. I have it in stock and I put a vertical piece at the ends. Turning that corner is pretty tight to get to the end and was trying to pull off. Remember I had to disassemble the bumper and replace the carriage bolts that attach the brackets with countersunk bolts. A 1" countersink is pretty costly.

Well I'm ready for the car to come home. All the misc is layed out and ready to be assembled. All the parts and screws are powdered or painted. Some one has in their signature" I hope I remember how to put this thing together" I know how they feel!!

I feel the same way. took lots of pictures, but there's a lot of stuff in cabinets and boxes. To me the challenge is putting it all back together. Good luck.

I know that feeling! I saw that you have the "bumper springs" on the table, are you going to tuck it in or have it in the stock position?

The only bumper springs are in the back. All the brackets are removed from the rear. The front has no springs at all,just the sliders. They will be well tucked.

I have an 80 or 81 z hood with the rear flapper. That is not the air cleaner I'll be using. I have a dual snorkel that seals to the hood, the snorkels are plumbed to the firewall for cold air intake. I have moved the blinkers behind the grill and the blinker holes have black mesh directly to the cold air ducts.

I seen the one that you have red. What did you use to make it? That's the set up I'd like for my Z28

A friend gave me that air cleaner. He thought it came from a vette. I changed the inlets to round 4" for my ducting. You will see soon.
