only have drivers corner to mid way done but yes led lit there tucked away so no wires show need to find a button that when pushed in will interupt the power(hood closed) and vice versa the gloss paint should really make everything pop now if I could just get a motor to place in it


Car has really come along way since I got it since i bought this one i havent seen another thirdgen priced this low some lady had an 88 hardtop v6 hadnt been run in 4 years she wanted 1000 for it because a mechanic told her the rear window was worth 600.....

Definitely! I didn't realize until after that what I responding to was on the first page. Freakin' cool... I was definitely right about the limitless potential!

Well I have collected my fair share of parts and should probably seek some therapy for my obsession LOL!

After two of my rims came missing last fall I moved the majority of the good stuff out to my buddy's shop. The stuff that came up missing this time was in the scrap pile and on it's way to Alter.

86_irocz-28

Wouldnt happen to have drivers side rocker gfx or ttop headliner would you?

jharrison5

No I sure don't but if I come across some I will let ya know.

Glad to see the new title and the new work on your car! Update on my camaro, has now been upgraded to daily driver considering a deer decided to run across the street in front of my truck! When i saw blood on the windshield I knew I was screwed. Took out hood, bumper, headlight, grill, radiator, and a bunch of stuff behind the grill. It was a KO, hit it and it didn't get up!

86_irocz-28

sucks man however got some stuff done today

Ready for motor....If only I had one...

Had to fix a new dent.....

Them are some nice lookin wheels.

Look a hell of a lot better on your camaro than they did on my s10.


Have you thought of getting some deep dish c5's? They would look pretty similar to the ones you posted up a while back. (Next post)

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Preety similar.

86_irocz-28

Need opinions


Got the wonder bar and sway bar out should I have them done in red, blue, black, or maybe even a different color? The k member will be black LS intake will be gun metal grey or maybe blue if I do the wonder/sway bar in blue and then once I get corvette coil covers will be matched to the sway bar unless i do them black which then ill do the covers red or blue

Skinny Neb

BLACK!

Also, cover up that mustang and get ready for the hail.

I'm a fan of chassis and suspension parts being black, but I prefer more of a sleeper look. Red screams out look what I did, where as black is slightly more subtle. If you change your mind after you order it, you can always repaint it. It's your car, build it the way you like it.

86_irocz-28

I see your point but with the ls motor and 4th gen dash subtle walked out the door red everybody has so i think ill go with blue on sway bars and panhard but not sure on the shade everything else will be black(sfc's,lca,etc) thanks for the input guys

khulsebus

iTrader: (2)

I'm in a similar boat, I'll never be able to pull off a full sleeper with the LS swap, but when my car does still have the 3rd gen dash and interior except for the seats. I just prefer for everything that has been done to my car not to be obvious. Whatever you decide, post some pictures, gotta be able to get my car fix in somewhere. I've been watching this one for a while, and it's looking like I won't even be able to see my car until maybe Christmas.

86_irocz-28

decided on the shade got them back from a buddy that blasted them so far only have paint laid down on the wonder bar sway bars tomorrow pics as requested

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Reminds me of a certain mustang

86_irocz-28

......lol yea figured it'd look nice against the black kinda

86_irocz-28

everythings done k member sway bars wonder bar. Panhard and rear sway bar will be done tonight or tomorrow need to work on under body lot of grime on it then under coat debating on what to use anybody used duplicolor bedliner? any luck?

86_irocz-28

Forgot to poste this didnt notice it till i rolled under the car the PO notched the k member for exhaust clearance you can see it above next to the pass side motor mount

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Never have had an issue with anything Duplicolor, I doubt you will with their bedliner.

When you get the motor ready to go are you going to paint the block/heads the same blue? I think it would look pretty good to tie it all together

86_irocz-28

Using corvette coilpack covers they'll be the same color block will be black or silver with silver or blue heads

86_irocz-28

rear ends done gotta replace the sway bar endlinks, they wouldnt come off... till i brought the grinder out.. here it is with the panhard back on next is to undercoat the body

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Everything looks too clean. Start over.

86_irocz-28

haaahaha lol yea 30 year parts dont want to come off or break so needs new parts plus im overally ocd about doing stuff the right way once i got the engine bay cleaned and smoothed it made everything else look terrible thinking about getting new rims this sun 4th gen firebird rims anybdsy know the spacers required? going 255/50/16 out back and 245/45/16 up front

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

2" all the way around will work if you're running a stock rear/brakes. I have 2" plus a quarter inch shim on just the front to get my wheel to meet the fender evenly. You don't NEED the shims, I just put them on to be even.

86_irocz-28

Undercoat

Nice shot of her rearend

86_irocz-28

86_irocz-28

yea it was going start tearing off all the hoses take off the ac pump sometime today

kmcn47

pb blaster is your friend, that and a breaker bar is all i needed to get down to a longblock, what are your plans for it?

86_irocz-28

Awesome I was just about to ask what to use bolt on header to downpipe is stuck breaker bar got me right in my neck oh well onward we go pulled valve covers off this thing is clean also pulled off useless stuff as well as scrubbed the covers

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, you need an engine stand. If I wasn't going to use mine I'd bring it over.

86_irocz-28

nah im just going use the lift until i need a stand then ill pick up one from harbor freight

kmcn47

autozone has engine stands for i believe 79.99 and they are lifetime warrantied, you do have to put it together though, mine is not form autozone but very similar, i bought it at a tractor supply type store for 49.99 lol, man inside your valve covers puts mine to shame, mine is horribly dirty by comparison

kmcn47

86_irocz-28

spent 3 hrs on the keyless entry pass side is still a little sticky was even by hand before the remote but a half hour of locking unlocking opening shutting, thinking i just need to find a lock mechanism at the junkyard thats a little smoother

jharrison5

How did you get power from the battery to the car while the engine is out? Just picked up an 87 IROC roller and I'm sort of at a loss on how to hook the battery up lol!
