BODY

- MSA Stage 2 body kit. Still a little rough around the edges, I need to replace the passenger side front fender due to a sewing machine misshap. I think my cars gotten more dammage sitting in the garrage then it ever did on the road. After that, i will start the finishing touches on the body and paint. It will be World Rally Blue (same as under the hood) when complete.

Looks like your Z is coming along nicely. I really like the seats and new interior.

Carb is working pretty good. I like the ease of adjustment you get with the Carter carbs. Im still in the tunning process, have a little hesitation off the line. I changed the primary jets for the next size up and it got better, i think im gonna bump the timing a little next. If this carb ends up being too much i will go for the Edelbrock AVS 500 CFM. I think with the cam i will be running it should work just fine.
