I for one am glad that this car is being properly repaired. It made me sick to see those pictures when it first happened.

scarping a car that with the right person can just bring it back

I received a few more pics from Tim today and his comments on the progress of the repairs.....

I was able to take some pictures of the Z in its final stages of repair. The car is missing some windshield clips and when these arrive the dated windshield will go in.

It’s also missing the passenger side headlight bezel and that should be in shortly.



The repairs are coming along nicely, it’s a car again. The paint looks great and the color match is very good.



About the only things left are the new rocker moldings as these were damaged in the accident and a front wheel alignment. I’m looking forward to getting the car back.



I’ll send more pictures when the car is completed.

Very nice Tim! Congrats.

Was the car painted from the doors forward?

[TimG]

Yes, the doors were painted. The passenger door had minor damage to it from where the fender interfered with it in the accident.
I thought about painting the rear of the car, but the paint was always very nice, so both the shop and I felt it wasn’t necessary.
All in all, the car didn't need much, but we did a few things to bring it up a notch including putting a thin bit of foam in the original drivers seat to raise it from years of being used, and replacing the windshield with a dated piece.

Tim, looks like the shop does quality work and they know how to work on a classic to bring it back up to or above pre-collision standards. Roger

Just a quick update on the white Z28 after my visit today. The shop is very close to wrapping things up, the wheel alignment is the last thing to do along with some final items like under hood insulation. The weather was horrible all last week and they didn’t want to take it to the alignment shop in the rain.

With all the chrome and trim items on, the front end really looks great. I’m extremly happy with the work. At the time of the accident, I didn’t think it would ever be repaired and back on the road, but it’s nearly ready to go.

I’ll take some final pictures next week when I pick it up.
