You're doing an awesome job with it and documenting. I have cursed more with the ZR-1 than any other car owned, but still love it. Thanks again for sharing and best wishes.

Thanks Craig, appreciated and best wishes to you also....
How is the house hunt going? You were thinking about that one house, but no garage...IIRC???

Stayed tuned for later today when the fun begins....running errands now, and waiting for more shade in the front to continue....
Hopefully get the IH's sprayed with the PCV tubes and the TB coated. Might cover up some of the blades itself to prevent an excessive coating on them.

Do you think the new finish will last better than original?

At least it won't get stained all by itself...

IMO, I don't think it will last as long....we'll have to wait another 23 years to make that determination....lol Don't know if I'll be here that long to see the results.......

Late night tape job to be ready for an early AM spray. The RS IH is more challenging because I had used a foam brush on it before to see how it would turn out. Needless to say, not very well as has been posted previously. So I had to use Mineral Spirits and sand paper to remove as much of the paint as possible. This way I can get an overall smooth appearance like the LS. Once I get this done, I can then start to go over everything once again under the plenum and get ready to start putting parts back together. Anxious to see how it looks then!!!

wiped and sanded as best as its going to get!!!

one less job to do in the AM...

Hey Tom,

I can only hope that my project comes out as nice as yours. Great tips and tricks.

Thanks for asking about house hunting. I decided to cancel on the other home for various reasons. I won't bore you with details on this post, but coincidently I looked a vacant lot today and met with a builder last night. Looking to just build instead so I can at least have a garage for the ZR-1 and Harley and carport for the two daily drivers. Wish me luck......

I have a set of ported injector housings and plenum to start working on. I just have to find the time between house hunting, chores, and touring with the bike and Z. Best wishes and thanks for sharing.
