My z..updated pics!!!

[outkastrooster]

well alot of you have seen the proogress on the old site so i figured i would start a new worklog and see how it goes.To give you a little about me,I am 37 and yes we all do things to our cars but i do them one handed,i am dying from a muscle disease called ALS or known as lou gerighs disease most people die within 5 years but i have had it now for 18 years .sometimes i have trouble walking and talking cuz of muscle spasms but its all good .I have lost use of my left hand and i have no triceps in either arms.So building this show car is important to me so i can enjoy whatever time i have left on this world.I know skulls are not everyones taste but i have them for like therapy,I have death around me so that when it comes im not afraid.So thats pretty much it bout me
car is not finished it will be done by nopi nats in atl,im flying nike up from florida in 2 days to do bodywork..thanks a mill nike... and just tugging along so enough sap here is the pics of progress so far NEW PICS 6-23-8

[slammmed]

[ZX2 Sleeper]

I absolutely love your piece of art. I am not a fan of the skulls, but i love how every inch of your car has the detail of them.

I like your front license plate bracket, i thought of the idea this weekend. How did you go abouts making it?

[ZX2guy19]

Holy shit...lol.

It's an honor helping out with the car.

I'll be there Thursday evening til Sunday morning.

[carguy07]

dude seriously that is inspiring. i look forward to meeting you at Nopi Nationals this year.

[capitalcrew]

Hope to see you Nate. Not likely, but maybe.

[nike13857]

I'll be up there for Nopi Nats as well this year.

[yellow2000S/R]

Glad you found somebody to help out. I forget who it was but somebody AIM'd me as well around 3-4 weeks ago about flying me up or even trailering the car to me to help out but I had to decline because of my work schedule and too much other stuff I took on.

Hope to see everything completed!

Keep us updated.

[mcar451]

yeh that was me that AIM'd you, there is still quite a bit of work to be done, but if we keep workin on it, there should be no stoping us at NOPI nats

[Buster]

Wow, are there even skulls going up the shifter?


Wow! Great work.

[koihoshi]

I remember wanting to see more of this a while back. i just got your PM and decided to check it out.

I'm normally not a fan of "custom interiors" and projects that modify things to a heavy extent because some people go all out in WEIRD ways.

However, as "different" as this project has been for you I have gotta say I absolutely LOVE it man! The skulls are insanely badass (I've got a soft place in my heart for things that are inherit dark, dangerous that look sinister). This car looks absolutely awesome man! I can't wait to see it finished, and that rear bumper? WOW!

Your work is great man! Really really great! Keep up the pics and the progress, it's nothing short of amazing!

[crazy34]

gunman just sent me this thread.....this is way beyond words man. i am beyond impressed. i am at a lost for words and that dont happen with me

[outkastrooster]

[WickedZ]

hey bud I dont log in much anymore, but your car is amazing. You are amazing with what you do

[slammmed]

iu gotta say the skulls and the concept are cool but is there anything you can do to make it different other than just a bunch of skulls molded in? I mean they all appear to be the exact same only the jaw is a little further open in some.

nonetheless kudos to all the hard work.

[xtremecaraudio]

???what airbrushed skulls ??? all skulls are molded in not paint!!

in your first post 3 photo on the top next to the air tank, those aren't airbrushed? I know the dash ones are molded and such.

[outkastrooster]

[nike13857]

hey what are you doing about your drivers door? i mean if everythings already molded on how are you going toget it on?

There's still enough room to get the hinges on. We took the door off, after we had everything in place, so there's room.

[gunman_sr5]

thanks again to all whom have helped.c u in vegas

a ten switch setup if it is prewired should have only 6 wires coming out, one positive, one ground, and one positive(or negative, depends on the switch setup) for each solenoid. The rest of the switches should be prewired to send the output to each solenoid as necessary.

[outkastrooster]

hey guys i need to know if the focus 01'motor will just drop into our z's i have one availible with only 60 thousand miles on it it is the 2.0 so anyone know if it will fit???

[mellowness65]

wasn't the esslinger zx2 powered by a focus motor at some point? I thinkit had custom mounts though, so it wasn't direct bolt up.

i;ve seen this done before and trailer queen or not its still stupid

props for the hardwork though.

[Buster]

Yeah, not a fan of the TVs. The bodywork is impressive and I really think the car would look better without the TVs. It will distract from the real work done.
