Hey Tom,

I?m sure you love your QuickJack as much as I love mine! I?m jealous; I have been trying to get home to my Z since April, but COVID jacked everything up (no pun intended [emoji38]) and I can?t travel. Hopefully this crap with be gone soon so I can go home to work on my car too. Enjoy!! 🤙🏼 Aloha!

I sure do Craig....as mentioned....there is plenty of room under there....the fun begins tomorrow....pulling all 4 wheels for a total cleaning and checking the rear 2 tires for slow leaks.....might take over to NTB which is close to me for them to check out....hopefully you will get home soon and work on your ZR-1....stay safe and safe travels when you can travel....

Another day....and more progress being made... the 94 is on Quickjacks and the 74 is on wheel dollies....when I finish the 94....I can then slide the 74 over on that side of the garage and continue work....already slid the 74 over a few inches this evening and it really makes a difference in the additional space that it provided....the dollies work great....
Plenty of room between the 94 and the 74...
Now the fun begins.....[emoji16][emoji16]20200909_184224.jpg 20200909_184246.jpg

Took off all 4 wheels and cleaned 2 of them....still in decent shape for originals...cleaned up the insides somewhat and debating on whether or not to repaint the insides...thinking since I already off...now would be the time to do so.
I image a shade of Aluminum paint would work or maybe a Silver...has anyone refinished the insides and if you did....what did you use???
Some pics....[emoji16][emoji16]

Pic #1...inside of rear wheel
Pic #2...wheel cleaned
Pic #3...inside also cleaned up good
Pic #4...inside of front sheel
Pic #5...cleaned up decent considering the amount of crud on there
Pic #6... front wheel finished for now20200911_124240.jpg 20200911_131204.jpg 20200911_131216.jpg 20200911_131654.jpg 20200911_140332.jpg 20200911_141340.jpg

Tom ,
You might consider trying aluminum brightener like the truckers use

Have good luck using red Scotchbrite pads and Simple Green to clean up wheel barrels. I never painted any though... pretty easy to maintain once you get them cleaned up with regular car washes.
