Ok, here are some updates on the Z car.

Finally got it painted this past Saturday, doors and the aluminum front end in line.
The dash comes next.

This is really going to be a fantastic car!!!

Can’t believe how great it was with 925 Miles on it!!

Pat I noticed you have the front rims mounted with radials... any reason your are not running bias ply tires? Radials don't really fit the look of the car in my opinion but I am sure you have your reasons.

That’s what they came with on the front and back!! Obviously slicks added, 7” max.
5.5” wheels.

Amazing that Chevrolet went to all the trouble while they were in the “racing” mood and built a car like this on the Impala body as heavy as it is!!

Put all the aluminum on a heavy car!

Always was a head scratcher for me!

Note the production date of Feb 63, the car was completed in March 63, I believe the next to last Z-11 car built, number 49/50.
