Been a busy weekend steering column in, new ball joints, fuel pump with lines installed, new rear in, lca's bolted in, heater hose mod on rear coils, front coils cut one complete coil, a pillar done, nitrous press and afr ready to be wired up. Next steering linkage and brakes/ebrake. Btw having access to a rollback, lift, and tranny jack is very nice

Where's the car at now?

90camaro355rs

looks good!

86_irocz-28

buddys shop should have tires on the other two matching 4th gen wheels wed and thanks 90

86_irocz-28

Pretty exciting update both on the car and life, in two weeks its getting sent for paint also found out we are having a boy!

dieseldog

Congrats on the future 3rd gen owner!

86_irocz-28

Alright moving on paint is getting delayed since I found a gfx for the front and needs a bit of work so going to wait till thats done then send it. Also gauges wired up. Oh and this is how the covers turned out really happy with it and figured out something pretty cool for the pcv hose system. Just bought a 411 ecu and a bcm with matching key so my security light will go away that is all.




Also heres my buddys project that ive been working on

86_irocz-28

Update so far ls6 rails and injectors came, center console and hvac box came, bcm and key are on there way so the vats in the bcm will be happy have all the parts to redo the entire brake system sucks because ive made a lot of progress and it still seems so far away till its done ah oh well beginning of next month ill have a bit of money to throw into its never ending amount of parts got a few days off this week hopefullly it wont be to hot and can get some work done on it.

86_irocz-28

Front brakes/steering is completely brand new need to tighten up the bolts and throw the cotter pins in finish cleaning/undercoat the trans tunnel set the front on the ground then move to the rear brakes then onto pulling the interior to cut a hole in the firewall for the hvac box anyways some progress pics





By the way in the third pic in case anyone wants to know what 2.5 tint looks like theres an example will wait till the car on the ground before I sit in it and decide if its to dark for me

90camaro355rs

looking really good, that tint is really dark, looks good though

86_irocz-28

Not much has gotten done lately been to busy with work and complications with wife being pregnant but got some stuff done on the car this week pulled the dash back out so I can cut the hole in the firewall for the ac system also figured why my turn signals werent working. Thanks to a coworker I got the vats for the bcm bypassed hes going to school for electrical engineering and did his like this two years ago whats cool is I can still unplug the connector if say I ever have to store it, works as a kill switch plus by using the connector I dont have to pull the key in and out causing wear on the contacts on the pellet.

86_irocz-28

So far ive bought and installed a cobalt steering wheel got a full brand new magnaflow exhaust system dirt cheap got my third brake light permanently fully installed also found the location that I wanted my scan gauge to sit oh and I also bought a new motor still a 5.3 but has 71xxx miles on it got it fairly cheap didnt get any pics since its at a buddys shop getting torn down

Alright havent had an update in awhile first finally getting back to the brakes rears have been completely replaced

and my ebrake now works after 8 hours of fighting with the cables had to use 92z28 ones, I just need to run the brake lines from the calipers to the porportioning valve then put the new brake hose's on the front then bleed the system and ill finally have brakes for the first time since I bought it. Also have decided I want my panels carpeted

couldnt resist taking a look at the exhaust I bought can't wait to hear that cammed 5.3 through it full 2.5 with 3in tips.

Firewall is almost cut out enough for the hvac box then the dash can go back in for the last time sucks I had to cut into the firewall after painting it not to long ago but itll be worth it on those hot days

have a new radiator for it while I had the car in the air I undercoated the trans tunnel. The motor has the fbody oil pan installed need to get the outside cleaned up and spray it btw what is this for?

Looks like the connection for an engine oil cooler to me.

The wheels and exhaust look nice. Is that a Magnaflow system?

86_irocz-28

That's what I thought and yes sir it is

DynoDave43

iTrader: (11)

Sweet. That's what I'd like to add to my T/A. The factory muffler is finally letting go...rusted out at the seam on the driver side.

I really like the long, round tips/pipes. Are those "standard", or do you have to specify that when ordering?

86_irocz-28

Nope standard tips

You should be able to cap the oil cooling lines off, unless you want to buy the radiator. I am just going to cap mine since I wont be idling it all day long like you would a 2500 work truck.

86_irocz-28

The new radiator I bought is just a replacement for my 86 and has the oil cooler ports if I wanted to I believe I have the piece for the block side on my old truck pan ill look when I get home

I wish I knew you were looking for a Magnaflow. Been thinking about switching to something different and woulda sold you mine.

86_irocz-28

I paid 180 for a brand new cat back with all the hardware what are you wanting to switch to?

DynoDave43

iTrader: (11)

Too bad you're in Nebraska and not Michigan!

rb85TA

Damon it man! Your really moving on this build, it is kewl to see how you're putting it all together. Never crossed my mind to put 4th gen interior in my third gen... how heavy are the seats, compared to 3rd gen's?

rb85TA

When its all done, do think it would've been cheaper to buy a 4th gen? Don't get me wrong it's kewl, but about the only 3rd gen stuff left will be the body.

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

That's about what I paid used for mine. You did pretty good there. (I actually bought mine from Justin with the red/gold Z28)

Thinking about a Borla. I want a more wide open sound. The Magnaflow sounds decent but it's just too mild for me (who knows, maybe I've got a bad one).

Then again, I'm building a 6.0 LSx right now, so it's not like it'll sound the same down the road either way.



What cam and heads are you going with?

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

IMO that would be reason enough to do this. Third gens are MUCH easier to work on under the hood than 4th gens.

86_irocz-28

I believe they are lighter maybe its just me

You know ive pondered this a few times around here 4th gens are going for around 6-10k so far im in it for around 4 and have probably another 4 to go 1k of it going to texas speed parts another 1k going towards new fenders bumper and suspension so figure im 8g in it thats approx 550hp of the lightest generation of camaro great suspension and reliability as well as gas mileage plus you factor the originality of all the things ive done with it I actually am sure I will enjoy this car more than I ever would with just another stock $8000 4th gen

Yea I thought about borla liked everything about it except the $800 price tag and when did you decide to do this?????
Cam bout as big as I can go heads second best flowing and a little nitrous..... but should be around 550 to the rear 315s

Id go with 817 heads with a ms3 or slightly bigger cam and nitrous for a 6.0

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Got a disassembled one for $550, so figured why not. Throwing an LS2 bottom end in, carbing it, and having Jeff (from LSx performance in Waverly) custom grind me a cam, and am looking into some LS3 heads for it. I'll be happy with anything more than 400 at the tire, naturally aspirating of course.

Anyway, I'll quit jacking your thread.

rb85TA

Well I have to agree with the power # at least. I am looking to make 6-650@ the crank of my n/a sbc 409. That should put me at 450+ to the ground, not bad for a backup engine!
Once I get her moving again I can concentrate on the procharged iron eagle. .... that is a whole nother animal :-)

rb85TA

Oh I agree whole heartedly! Like I said it's kewl! Don't want ya too think that I am ridiculing your direction, just was curious weather the thought had crossed your mind: )

86_irocz-28

Really starting to get back on this new carpet installed hvac box finally done and installed my awesome switch panel from emblempros came today best custom piece ive bought. Also this weekend buying a few things from spohn.

86_irocz-28

More progress dash is back in tomorrow going to upullit to cut out a shifter after that center console can go in which is done and ready to go in switches installed and my color changing cup holder is done, extremely happy with how it came out. While im getting the interior finished the exterior is torn apart decided to replace the fenders bumper and header panel with brand new replacements oh and my stuff from spohn came still need to order more from them, as always pics!






Oh and the video

86_irocz-28

Well so far ive got a bit done flip out stereo took a crap on me so bought a double din wired it up its a pioneer avh2600bt also got the new motor mounts in man these were a p.I.a to change iut also found out my front pass strut is blown bad to also cleaning up the new motor taped off the deck after cleaning it sprayed it car now has a shifter again center console is in herculined the roof to prevent it from ever rusting... I believe thats everything so far pics!!

86_irocz-28

Double dins done installed also finally have the correct transmission pretty sure it needs rebuilt and needs the correct tailhousing but i picked it up for $200. Also drivers window is rewired with new relays and 10/14 gauge wire and for what i believe to be the factory motor and less than par greased tracks its almost as fast as my 08 maxima which is just wow im not sure if i want to put in a new motor I plan to grease everything up though. Taillights now have leds in them and there alot brighter at night

rb85TA

Looking really good!

SoTexSwoldier

Just beautiful! Great job man!

86_irocz-28

Havent updated in forever brakes are done got a shifter I finally like looks fairly factory to. Bought a trans rebuild kit and shift kit since im pretty sure 3-4 clutches are burnt out according to the guy i bought it from, also got a torque converter ls7 lifters and ls2 trays came, scored a brand new fender for $60 getting really close to being done just need pushrods/rockers/head studs/headers/windshield and have chad at the shop rebuild the trans then run fuel lines interiors back together for the last time the car wont be finished but will run and i can at least enjoy it while i finish the little odd and ends.

rdmotors

Funny how things work for me. I think of doing a few things to my car and come here to look up a few things and I come across your build. I have to say most of what you are doing I had ideas of doing. I love what you got going so far with the interior. I am curious to how you are molding the plastic parts together.
I just got a 97 formula that I will be using for a donor and hope to do a lot of what you have done, with my own little twists.
Keep up the good work.

86_irocz-28

Been using 3m's panel bond to mold the a pillars, stereo bezel, then glazing spot putty to fill in from there and thanks. Trans will be getting rebuilt when I get my tax return just got my ls7 lifters plans for this are the same but wont be putting in a cam for awhile as i need a second vehicle plus really just want to drive this thing

EnTek

Good job man I am a new watcher of your posts and am very impressed with your dedication. I will keep looking out for your updates. Awesome work buddy really!

rdmotors

Thanks for the info will be going out and finding some of that for the future. Will be watching you thread for all the great work your putting into the car. This has been a great read for me and idea maker for me also. Thanks for sharing.

86_irocz-28

Second guessed myself on the wheel color so cleaned one off and redid it its hyper silver think I like it alot better also just bought a nitrous kit at least need to have a little extra power when I need it also have all the russell fittings/hose to run the the fuel lines for the engine not much else has been done has just been to cold lately heres the comparison of the old color and new

86_irocz-28

things are going to start picking up again weathers finally getting warm and I started a better job where ill make more today was nice enough out I ran my russell fuel line, detailed the entire interior minus the hatch area also jammed the car all I can say is artic white will look killer on this tomorrow ill run the feed line for the nitrous trans is off to be rebuilt I had a lil help today as well

86_irocz-28

The end is near ive put a two month deadline on this for americruise this year all i need is the trans finished up, comp flashed, headers, y pipe made, windshield, tires, and a bumper motors in thing fits like it was made for it the 4th gen a/c system gives me plenty of work room on the pass side also picked up a factory air box in immaculate condition these go for $250 through hawks i paid $11 at junkyard :cheers:



(Dont have a pic but example of what im talking about)

STREETDEMON

you've been caught, that's my old snorkel! sold it to a kid south of kc. notice the white line in the top half where my hood wasn't adjusted properly the first time i shut it!

keep at it, a deadline normally helps and makes you plan your build time better. also, white cars are the fastest

86_irocz-28

Did you not see where I said right above the pic that I don't have a pic of it but here's an example of the part im talking about...?

86_irocz-28

If you notice its the exact pic from your for sale post

86_irocz-28

Heres a pic of the one I picked up
