UPDATE

Wow , Thats what your thinking, a update! Yes, A real update because some REAL work has been accomplished! This post is for anyone who didnt make it to the build day last weekend, We got alot of work done guys! Just a re-cap, we got one of the extra Zs over to bucks house to harvest it organs
  • Engine (heart)
  • ECU (brain)
  • 5 speed tranny (Spine?)
  • Wheels (Hands and Feet)
  • Wire harness ( nervous system!)
  • Rear diff and half shafts ( Pelvis?)
  • Brakes ( No idea)
  • Rear suspension (Knees)
  • Hood and fender (Skin)
  • Gas tank (stomach)
As Buck said, "Were like indians with a Buffalo, nothing goes to waste",  no truer words have ever been spoken. INFACT we took it one step further than any Indians , we took that Buffalo carcass and used it as a coffin to stuff the remains of even deader more picked over Buffalo's in, then we sold it to the White man !( we stuffed the gutted out chassi of the Z with scrap metal and called a scrapper to come haul it off) .
Some of the stuff we pulled off the Z will be used to mish mash the best combo of parts onto the race car. Some of it is for spares when stuff brakes  and the rest is to hopefully sell to recoup some money. We also got about 70% of the gutting done on the race car, we still need to pull the glass,gas tank and get to work with stage 3 weight shaving (relentless use of hole saw!).
