Nice details GC=D>

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

LMAO.. funny post..

Tell us the truth, you have bought enough parts over the years your second one is being assembled..

One piece at a time

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Close to accurate -=JEFF=- but the truth is I bought enough parts to support two cars. My pop and I are making my third trip to pick up my next Z. Another great road trip

I'm just scratching the surface to catch up with Cliff :)

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Only way to catch Cliff is if you buy them all in the same color

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

"Slightly" jealous...translated really. What did you get?

Take a southerly route & stop by FL.

Ted

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

True that but it is red lol But it won't meet Cliff's standard as its Red on Black

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

I would if I was not meeting my son at Ft Rucker AL who is going through flight training

I am hoping to meet Tony D but he may be across the pond teaching flying skills

I am buying Schrade's Automatic Z Ted so the plan is one white one red one and a Blue ZR1 when I retire lol. This should be a Ted approved plan. No that's not a typo next ride will be a 09-11 ZR1. GC

I am pretty stoked

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Have fun in Rucker. Hope your son is doing well.

If you need anything, I'm at Eglin now.

Be safe.

Ted

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

If you pass thru Atlanta and need anything don't hesitate to contact me.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Will do

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

He's doing great. Haven't seen him since Christmas he's done first week of December

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

GC- You mentioned that you're buying an automatic Z. Are you getting it for racing? Or just the street?
I always wondered what could be done with a, (more or less), automatic stock motor Z in the 1/4mi.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Love the Ray Bradbury title of this thread, Daryl. How appropriate!

Of course if there's no pix...it never happened!:p

Schrade's Automatic Z

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Street for now. Maybe twin driers and low compression build in the future. Time will tell. It's pretty low miles so not for a long while

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Concur pics will start when Dad and I arrive and shake hands with Chuck :cheers:

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

I've been working with Chuck for months now sending him parts and fixing nit noid issues. The passenger seat motor has been replaced, the tab in the console. The gauges refreshed by Batee, Trading parts with -=JEFF=- and Cliff. This is a great community and my friends thought it was cool to buy another registry members car.

Already bought LED tailights, and a few odds an ends. Got a great deal on those from newegg of all places and about 60% less than I paid 8 years ago.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

7 Days and counting ......:cheers:

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Are you going to do a Jim like Photographic Tour on way back?
Are you going to do a Cliff like Photographic Coverage of the ZR1 and LT5?

I am taking 1990 #72 to South Dakota in a couple weeks so it can meet its brothers #3032 and #2067 :D

Then in Dec back to CA via I40 :p

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Let the mods begin

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

More like a Father and Son Biopic with Photos or it never happened...

Maybe but there is only one Cliff Documentation guru. Im just a hack....

Is mama going on these trips with you or is she flying in? Ive never asked that before Also group pic of all three is a must !!!!:o

I zipped mama up to Flagstaff a few weeks ago she likes how comfy the 91 is compared to the F-150 King Ranch which is like riding on upholstered bricks lol. I keep telling her well its a truck...... So it rides like a truck

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

You know me so well. Leather 94 Seats, Internal LEDs and External LEDs are already ready. Stainless oil cooler lines and SAMCO styles hoses as well :cheers:

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

I am picking up better half in Tulsa on way back........Where I get on I40 :p

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Hate to tell you this, but I-40 doesn't go through Tulsa:)

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Its a little North but straight damn through OKC. I wish you lived More South Jerry Id drop in to say Hi. I will be taking the I-10 although

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

So the road trip started today at 210am with the arrival of Supershuttle at the house. We left for NC and arrived in Charlotte and awaited our flight to Fayetteville which was late over an hour as the nose wheel had to be replaced for safety issues. Chuck picked us up and drove us to Snow Hill NC about 1.5 hrs to look over the car. It was exactly as Chuck stated but it was getting late in the day so after a quick trip to the Court House after hours we were able to get the title signed and notorized and then on the way headed back home leaving about 730 pm. We stopped in South Carolina for the night. Here are a few quick photos as most of the day was spent on air and roadway travel just to get to the car.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Safe travels!!!

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

I assume you also have Schrade's photos and videos on that restoration? Schrade was very meticulous in his documentation and that is prolly the most documented car around :thumbsup:

Keep us posted on how it runs and especially how that automatic works for you. I have an automatic from a 1990 L98 on the bench just in case. I wonder if it is the same automatic you have in that ZR-1? :D

Installing a new oil pan gasket on a low mileage 1990 ZR0-1 today (#072).

Day 2 heading to Enterprise AL to see my son who is currently in Pilot training and due to graduate Soon. In Mongomery AL an hour away from Enterprise the Battery light came on so I pulled over to a gas station. The alternator was smoking hot and smoldering. I tried to start the car and no Bueno. So I walked to Pep Boys and then a GM dealership with pop just to see laughably if a alternator was available....again no surprise no Bueno. So we arranged for a rental as we await the replacement alternator from Jerry. So we left the car secured at the dealership and headed to take my son out to dinner. A lot of folks called and offered to help as well. So we took my son to the best steakhouse in Enterprise AL. Once again thanks for all the support.

We are going to the Aviation museum tomorrow so I will take lots of photos to update here as a lot of folks don't have the opportunity to see it

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Hey Cliff it's from a 95 donor car. It runs very well. Chuck is sending a CD of all the photos.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

Your issues kind of happened at the right time as you guys can spend some time together as the Z is being fixed..........and only an hour out of your way :cheers:

Have fun and that automatic Z will be interesting ;)

Chuck did some great documentation......I did not know that Z had so few miles on it.

Re: Something Wicked This way comes
 

GC,
Get it fixed? Underway?

I'm back home if you need anything.

Ted

Re: Something Wicked This way comes

MOH receipiant Fred Ferguson. I worked with him in the Arizona Army National Guard for about ten years until he retired, I was honored to be colleague and friend. He is a Professional aviator all the way. He received the MOH from president Nixon as a Major. He reverted to Warrent Officer and retired as a CW5. He loved salsa. Could never get enough and it matched his personality
