i've done alot of little tweaks since the last update but this is the only big major visable change in awhile.

yesterday i switched in the bent and battered hood (junk) for a new red Iroc hood, and the old, beat up, drilled (***** wing) hatch for an entirly new hatch!!!


Also did some quick damage repair on that nasty driver quarter panel. Banged it out enough to remove the broken spoiler and put on a new one so the body guy can match the quarter panel. Also replaced the light while i was at it as it was cracked from the damage.


I also got my new (well... used) shifter and shifter plate in the mail from Thirdgen.org. Now i can actually shift my car!

Thanks to you guys at TGO for all of these parts. the hood and shifter both came from guys here. I have to go put classified feedback for them!


lastly, i bought new hood shocks today. nasty little things.

where did you get the plate and shift? and how much did you end up paying? i'm in the market for a new one since the previous owner cut the threads off mine..

the rear quarter panel turned out good btw

It's not perfect but it will keep it from rusting until the body man gets ahold of it.




I got the shifter from TGO member charlie31603. $75 shipped If i remember right. I was very very pelased.

toxik IROC

now yo just need to hurry up and get someone to make a 5inch wing with a brake light... it would look killer....i also want one....and dont have the know how to do it my self......

anyways awsome car man

LMSkyliner

no one will email me back about it. They email email email then dissapear for 3 months..



anyways, Update:
~Removed about 1000000 feet of that crappy blue stripe tape
~Removed the driveshaft
~Removed the transmission
~Removed the shifter
~Removed the bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel



Its so exciting . My dad just wanted to take the tranny in and clean it up this week. There is also a bearing inside the tranny that is making a touch of noise and he wants to check it out before he puts it back in. I should have it back by next Saturday.

I also have to grab the special tool to get the rear main seal changed. It is definitly the oil leak i was dealing with, the entire back of the engine/front of the tranny is sprayed with oil (in a circular pattern)


that means next weekend is time to put everything back in the car.

and next monday is inspection time








And look at this floorpan. Exactly why i bought this car:






Oh and i forgot, It flies too

Tobias05

much better! iroc is looking awesome!

Very Nice. Coming along nicely. I would love to get a project like that. Do you plan on keeping it black? And how soon do you think it will be before the 350 is done?

mesterz2889

great job so far i wish mine was that close to being on the road again

LMSkyliner

yes it will stay black.




There has been alot of confusion on the engine. For the past few weeks i HAD changed my mind and decided to do an LS1 swap.



however as we really start getting into summer here, I'm having to change my plans. I can't get a summer job. There are none to be found, and if you can find one, its 18 or older, OR they want somewhere there for more than just the summer.

because of that im back to the 383 plan. or 350 to start. you can see that in this thread: http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/te...-get-some.html (Could i get some camshaft help?)
----------

thank you. Should be on the road with the 305 (something has been done to his thing. its way too powerful for stock 305TPI ) by monday. I have a new video camera and a full set of tires to get rid of too. Just by coincidence

LMSkyliner

Its done

Brisk

After that, i just gotta get 4 NEW tires, so i can roast the 4 OLD tires
