Your wife must also burst into laughter when she sees your pecker go up 2 inches in the air!

Psycho_91Camaro

I will! I forgot to take my digital Camera to the hot rod shop, So I will take a pic after it has been done. My brother will not be able to finish the scoops tonight, they will still need to be grinded down and sanded down.

I shall post some pics tommorow. Right now the time is 10:29pm thursday

I need to get some sleep!

Psycho_91Camaro

I'll post pics soon!

This is proof there is no Jesus.


Thanks for making the rest of our cars worth a little more.

Psycho_91Camaro

Here it is, just needs to be sanded down and mudded and the FRONT side edges grinded down to a curve style.









That black spot is spray paint

Psycho_91Camaro

You idiot, your just responding to a cut we made that makes it flap. it wasnt done when I posted those first few pics, so shut up and lets see your effort queer bait.

Synapsis

Isn't it great that we can live in a world where an opinion instantly turns you into a queer idiot?

You won't see an "effort" from me in this respect, because I believe the lines of a stock Iroc hood are beautiful and don't require molestation with a Dremel.

wow. surprised me. came out way better than expected. good job.

STRIFE69

Ok I got couple questions....

1. You post pics of you hood and then some post comments on whether or not they like it. does that make it ok to start Namecalling using words as Queerbait and telling somone his wife laugh about the 2".......?

My answer would be NO. Why? Well It just isn't nice considering you asked for there opinions or you wouldn't of posted here about your hood. Common... guy said his wife laughed! Wow that results in Shot at his Manhood?

2. Why you taking car to HOT ROD SHOP for Hood and your engine problems To PepBoys and Hack mechanics?

You paid a mechanic to replace your intake and TB cause you didn't have time to do it. Didn't do the job correctly cause you took car to somone else to get timing set. Wich only takes couple mins to anyone who has ever done it. Did you Watch the guy at pepboys check your timing and adjust it? Cause you asked how to do it here after it was done. There is a Sticky on it wich you seem to still need to read yet.

Yet in same time that your car has been down you Manage to have TIME(you claimed not to have) to Mod your hood. I'm bit confused here. Should't maybe a HOT ROD shop friend or even your brother been able to help you with something other then get into another project before you fix your exsisting problems?

I wouldn't be surprised with respones you give that people will shy away from helping you on your future needs from here on.

As far as the hood goes. Here is my opinion. Think you could of made them a little longer. Maybe just take some sheet metal and build them out some. What you did was BOLD! I give you credit for that,but I will admit my first thought was HAHA hope he don't mind hunting for another hood. Is that a crinkle on you fender where the nose meets? Throw some mud on that while you doing finishing the hood since you will have the stuff available.

The 300 bucks and lunch to fix your Car to get it running could of went towards a nice custom fiberglass hood.

Red Devil

So where is the fur?

Apparently you won't be driving in the rain, snow, mist, etc.

No supports for that thin *** metal? Plan on going slow I guess?

What about the poor bug carcasses?

What are you going to do to combat the lift this will create?

So where is the fur again?

I really hope this is still far from done.

Lo-tec

Looks like a bad knock-off of a timeless classic

Cadillac

Agreed!

No one loves the ram air intake idea more than me and Cod knows our cars could use all the cooling they can get. However, Mr. Torrence, CA you have to admit that without proper explanation for the first pictures you posted, they could be pretty humorous.



I'll admit that the second series of pics is starting to show potential but it looks like you have some sanding and paintwork ahead of you, no?

Psycho_91Camaro

Lets get this cleared up.

I understand that everyone or most of everyone here likes to establish an idea or a biased opinion. The truth is everyone here just used this small project as a chance to reply with rude or offensive replys about the work progress as effor was being put in. I clearly stated in the first few POSTS that me and my brother were THINKING of this custom (MEANING ORIGINAL MEANING WHAT I WANTED TO DO!!) He works at a HOT ROD custom shop in Torrance CA, and that is where his welder is located, so that is where he did the work.

The Thorttle Body was installed by a K&K Auto in Torrance, All I asked them to do was to replace the TBI and intake. And that is what they did! Cost me $341.00 because I did not have the time or knowledge.. since I have to work and have stuff to do at home.


After the TBI and Intake and Timing was done. I had lots of time to do stuff. The Hood had already been cut so my brother told me to bring the car in the shop and he would fix the hood. Which he did, but now we need final touch ups like cutting sanding and a bit more welding and mudding.

AS IF NOW 08/19/05 10:20PM THE HOOD IS NNOT FULLY COMPLETE! I REPEAT THE HOOD IS NOT FULLY COMPLETE!!! So those who wish to make negative comments can do so with the knowledge that I will respond just as negative as you. Unless it is constructive.


When I recieved the car back, the TIMING was off so I waited a few days and took it to PEP BOYS where it was fixed.


Hood still needs Cutting,Welding (Brackets for Air cleaner openings) Sanding,Mudding Going to use a DUAL SNORKEL AIR CLEANER

I didnt really ask for anyones opinion on my design.. I asked for others design to see how others customized thier hood just to look at. then I get a whole bunch of stupid comments about cuts that were just made when I first started! Its like saying "Hey Paint my house! and a painter paints your house and stops for a few hours and will continue at a later time" then you say "Hey that looks funny! the red over pink!!???hahahah your a dumb painter I dont see how that can look good!! arhghughu! im a dumb ***"

What im trying to say is you cannot start criticizing to a job that has barely began!! It's ridiculous.

Also it is ok for others to have opinions about my project, just be constructive if a comment is going to be made, but I brake my own rules so ehh.... Im just making a point here.

Psycho_91Camaro

This is the only guy that acutally replied to the original post!!! WITHOUT any NEGATIVE comments!

Does anyone have the url for the Ebay auction where I can buy one of these measuring devices which make my tool two inches ?

STRIFE69

If you didn't ask for anyones opinions why post so many Pics for us not to generate an opinion on?

I mean really comparing to painting a house is not close to what you did. Unless they did something unusal like blue with pink elephants on it. Yet it isn't finished but Stakes a sign in the ground Saying "Look at what I am doing. Just tell me what you done that is different to your house."

Well you seriously can expect somone to stop by and not give a comment like "Well that's not what I would of painted my house like" *chuckle You respond " Well I'm sure your wife...." Person is like "WTF you put sign up and say look and then get made cause I have something to say?"

I might of taken pics of the job as I went along from start to finish then posted a few pics of it finished(Side/front/Top).You up to what 19ish and not even done? If people wanted more info on how it was done im sure they would ask. It's been done before here.

You do something different you gotta expect few wisecracks.

Good Luck with your custom hood!

RS Chris

That hood is gay.

DanTheMan_smlk

just spray some black rustolem on those scoops so we can see the finished product matched with the car

Grow up or get off.

If you think what you posted of your hood job would not get any negative reviews, it's time to grow up.

This forum is nothing but facts and opinions (no facts in this post, you're going to get opinions).

Your hood job is receiving alot of opinions, like it or not.

Here's mine, I think it sucks. Now either take my opinion like a man, turn off your 'puter and fix it, or keep spouting mindless babble like a child!!

gamarada717

Sorry, I don't feel like jumping on the bandwagon with this one.

To everybody that posted anything negative, and then saying he should stop whining because people posted negative thoughts:

There is a difference between having an oppinion and being hypocritical. Even if you aren't being a hypocrit, you're just being crude. This guy put something together, that followed the outlines of the post, and posted it. I don't think he cared whether people liked it or not, or he wouldn't have posted it. Here's an example, and this is MY oppinion on this hood.

I don't like it, but it might appeal to someone.

(Quite obviously, I'm wrong on that second part).

Heck, you don't even have to have that counter acting phrase tagged on the end there.

The best part is, that people are making fun of him for taking his car somewhere to have some work done on it. Good Lord, grow up. Some people don't have superior knowledge when it comes to cars...I used to know nothing about cars a few years ago. You can own a third gen and not be a car expert. You can still come to these forums and discuss things on the board.

Grow up people.

Angelis83LT

I will agree that there are a few things i would have done differently, and am currently doing differently. but he likes and and that's al that matter's in the ned.. Personally i would cry if I seen that on my car, especially with those welds.. Looks like a highschool kid did them on thier first day of welding class. I hope that another bead is going to be heaid over them or something cause that is just aweful ugly. I might have made them a little longer as well... and not so angled. an imitation of a ram air hood basically that would flow better with the lines of the car. I do alot of work like that, although granted most of it is carbon fiber stuff... (I like it for the fact it is strong and looks just as good as anything else while being alot lighter). Oddly enough it looks alot like something I have seen on quite a few imports lately..

Here is thread I was referring to About his engine repairs.

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=310009


Notice couple things in the thread like a Mod asking him to not post so many pics for the people with slower connections. Did he think to maybe throw some care out for these people who don't have fast connections.

Asked about stuff like Sparkplugs. Told him they should be changed and why. Did he listen? No! Not till after he got his care back from mechanic who corrected the timming from the first mechanic he paid $341 dollars to not do a job correctly. Plus other things he needed to do. Car came back with electrical tape covering vaccum lines and such. Quite a Hack job all together. I personally wouldn't of paid the guy until he corrected his hacks. I wouldn't be surprized at this point if he is trying to adjust the timming without changing out the bad plugs. So Yeah I did talk about him taking his car somewhere to get worked on but I have reason to. I don't recall making fun of him doing so. Did you glance thru these posts? Read the link I left then reread my post it will be more understandable.

Anyways enough words. This thread should be LOCKED it really isnt serving any purpose anymore other then people voicing there opinion about he job(wich isn't actractive) and him comming off with rude,disgusting, and immature comments.

AlbertaFbody

i am jumping in too frankly the hood well is frankly now a waste of a hood in my opinion due to it is the classic maybe i should do a photo shop or a lets think about this for a moment to try to realise what it will look like before i cut it up. i don't like it some do personally he reminds me of alot of the motoring world of today pointless styling that doesn't flow with the vehicle it is on in any way shape or form. that hood should be melted down into somehting usefull again.

Dustin89GTA

I don't think it's a bad idea, but it would look a little better if they were squared off with the hood lines and extended back a little further.

However, the pic of them from the front looks mean.

SLPhawk95

This is why I cannot bring myself to get another GTA or IROC. Love the 3rd gens but until guys like this are not allowed to own them, they will fall the way of the late 70s 2nd gens and become the muIIett mobile of choice. From the looks above, its already begun. Nice job upholding th stigma a lot of 3rd genners wish to dettach themselves from.

hmmurdock_00

i got of couple things i like to say here:

1st:
STRIFE69, who started this crap about his motor, oh right you. Why exactly? not sure doesn't pretain to here. You say that he said he didn't have the time. Perhaps He didn't have the time then. Like someone else mention not all people ar endowed with the knowledge of how to fix a car. If you are then fine, if you aren't then be quiet. This doesn't mean respond back to me saying that you are.

Why should this be locked up? "This thread should be LOCKED it really isnt serving any purpose anymore other then people voicing there opinion about he job(wich isn't actractive) and him comming off with rude,disgusting, and immature comments." You are one of those people you mention.

2nd:
The 1st post which is the starting post asked for no opinions why where there any? If you don't like his hood and fell like posting something then simply say I don't like it and leave it at that. No need for "The hood is gay" or other stupid comments like grap your little groinds and strife. GROW UP. This is in away a public forum and you should act like your in public, not a barn.

3rd:
The hood looks fine, i would have had it followed the hood lines more but don't look all that bad. You did take a chance on doing this by just cutting the hood but if it makes you happy thats all that counts. Remeber that is all that counts, not what other thinks, if it did i have the feeling all cars would look about the same and still then someone would say they don't like it.

It takes a bigger man to take an insult than it does a man to throw an insult.

4th:
If i was to do a custom hood it be based off the Jongbloed but not as round and no seem in the center.

STRIFE69

Doesn't 2nd and 3rd conflict? You agree with the Not asking for opinions aspect and then right afterwards Voice yours. You defend his case then do opposite of what he says. /boggle

As far as me Starting crap about his motor and such I don't see him throwing rude comments at me like my girlfriend or wife blah blah blah like he did others. We know he for sure can dish out them comments if need be. Posts continuing like yours is why I sugested it would be locked.

You tell others to GROW UP and never mention anything about his crude responses. Certainly is not something that is proper for the Out in Public talk I would think. Especially if you're upset about somone saying hood is gay and such.

It takes a bigger man to take an insult then to throw one. So what type of a man is someone who responds ot what is percieved as an insult with an even bigger insult?

Btw don't recall you leaving a Pic of your custom hood like was asked for in the thread. /derail

Have a nice day!

This is what i was trying to get across in the first post. I did mention something in there. "Takes a bigger man to take an insult than to throw one" implying that next time someone throws an insult he shouldn't throw one right back.

And noticed I said IF, meaning that I haven't yet, or have pics yet. I just felt like desc. the hood.

Yes I know I gave an opinion, but noice i also said if you must, then try it politly not just insult the person.

"Can't we all just get along?"

WhiteHawk

My opinion about the hood was swayed because of the attitude of the guy who made it. So what, some people made bad remarks about it, but he shouldn't get pissed off at a hood critique and start name callin. It is awsome that he is doing it himself and he should be proud of it. I am sure he would get more compliments in real life when people see it.

People on here have good suggestions, so sometimes you have to think about it because a lot of people here know what they are talking about cause they have seen the consequences, i'd rather learn from others mistakes than my own.

WhiteHawk

Okay, how about them **** burners...

i dont know why everyone has to get down on this guy. Whos car is it, his. So he'll do what he wishes with it. I hate it when people have to talk sh*t. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean you have to knock it. I love this site. I get lots of usefull info on here, but i think thats the only problem with this site. Someone always has to say something stupid. My 2 cents.

Xophertony

i don't have any custom hood designs. but i think this one looks sic. i would NEVER want one, but a nice job all around. if i did desighn a custom hood for an iroc i would have made them follow the hood lines more, gone back further, and been angled on the sides like a powerbulge.

That's a pretty clean looking car/engine bay. I liked the flat hood better, it is nice to see something different than the norm though with the hood. Don't sell iiit or you'll be one of them old guys you run into at the gas station.. "I used to have a blah blah, shoulda never sold it"
