My rocker and rear bumper emblems should be coming soon, they also come with a silver nose, interior, and door handle emblems. I might find a place to put the nose interior, and door handle emblems someplace, as long as its not too much IROC-Z everywhere lol.
I also got my taillights polished. 1500 wet, then buffed with Mothers Plastic Polish. They turned out awesome! I miss my car alot, can't wait to get it back and all together!
I just read this thread for the first time. I can't truly express how good it makes me feel to see an IROC brought back to such high standards. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your future posts!
Being a Florida boy, I found the ac delete amusing. Not an option here with 90 degree heat and 90% humidity.

Thanks alot gator. LOL yea no AC in Florida would be horrible! Theres still alot of work to be done yet, but its hard with the car in the body shop. I'm just doing/ordering as much as i can without the car at home. Got to make a big order through hawks lol.
Sorry for the long break on pics guys, i lost my usb cable lol.
Got my lights all polished up! I used 1500 wet sand then Mothers Plastic Polish. I did the tails, third brake, side markers, and park lights. Turned out really good. I sanded the lettering off of the signal side markers up front too. The pics don't do them justice.
Then i did all the interior plastics. I used some 409 and steel wool and scrubbed away. It got down and cleaned into the texture and also smoothed out some little scratches.
I got all my emblems from Don at Making it Digital. I paid $65 shipped and the ones from Hawks for 80 are exactly the same. In fact he said he supplys all the aftermarket vendors
I got my ECM back with a semi-custom burnt prom installed. He deleted the smog, a/c, changed some spark/fuel tables, and did some other cool things including a rev limiter. I can't wait to plug it back in and see how it runs
Well guys it's in the primer stage! Everything looks really good . Hes got my GM T-top and belt moldings, and i recieved my metro moulded door and hatch seal. Oh how could i forget! I got carpet in the mail today through 1A Auto, haven't opened it up yet since my car should now be back middle of next week.
Lookin good! can't wait to see the finished product
So true! I once i get it back i really need to get it together fast, my grad party's on the 30, so i got like two or three days to get the GFX, bumpers, emblems, interior. Jeez lots of stuff to get done. Anyone wanna come over and help lol. My friends are comin and helpin me get it together.
I just got back from the body shop, but i forgot to take my camera lol. They're just wetsanding the primer anyways. I can't wait to get it back it's not even funny! custom wheels market still doesn't have any irocs in stock though, i want to get them 17"s on there soon too.
Well it's not done yet lol. I'm setting everything up so i can assemble it without looking for parts (prolly will anyways!). I did get my air intake gutted though.
beautiful car wish i had the money to go through mine like that .
LOL i've been working since i was 12 (i helped my dads cousin do custom concrete imprinting back then and still am today) and always work every single day at our farm. Work hard and set your mind to something and you can accomplish anything "almost anything" that is lol
oh i've built a couple, first car was a 77 ford with massive holes rusted in it everywhere. it looked terrible when i got it, looked about like this when i sold it,
also had a 92 that met its demise after an idiot drove me off the road, the bike i redid for my mom too,
i think my the big problem is i took a big hit after putting all the work in to my 1st 1 all to have some *** hole who cant drive ruine it in a split second, i haven't had my heart in rebuilding a car like i use to since. im getting back in to it though.
ps. my bad didnt mean to take up that space just didn't feel like re editing the size of my pics, cant wait to see your finished product, looks amazing.

Don't worry about space. Thats a beautiful 92 that you had! I'm sure your 89 will be just as good if not better.
Is that the actual truck you built up? Around here my whole "git r' done" family has lifted tons of trucks. My cousins got a nice Cummins lifted sky high, too bad the cops don't it lol. They use to race hobby B class too.
I need the AC box like you took out. I bought my car with no engine and I think the prevous owners pulled the engine with a back hoe and busted the box. Will be getting hot soon and I'll want the AC. Thanks

yah that was my first vehicle its a 77 with a 88 ford 300-6 and 79 hood. modified the hood with a hood scoop we fabbed up obviously. it was fun while she lasted. it was a lot of fun wish i had some money to buy another 73-79 ford truck they have to be the sexiest pickup body style ever built imo lol.
you have an a/c delete heater box lieing around? i'm looking for 1 actually pm me with details if you get a chance thanks
Well its all cut and buffed...IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! There isn't a speck of orange peel, the whole car is smoother than glass! Hopefully the pics show enough detail even though there was some dust on the car.
Glad you got the delete box flaming. And those fz's go like nuts!
How do you guys think clear side markers and parklights would look with this color red? Remember i'm not putting the stripes on and i got the 91-92 grille. I want to get ALL the parts so if i get it back on wednesday, i can get it together by thursday morning all said and done. I WANT TO DRIVE THIS THING!!!! oh, and take lots of pics for you guys!
pics is a definite must! she looks great, glad to see another beautiful 3rd gen on the road, they are getting to be far and few between.
btw my personal opinion would be to go with a smoked color side markers and smoke the rear lenses to then your car will stay red and black theme throughout (louvers, wheels and lenses). clear would also definetly look better than factory though.
Sorry no pics yet! The last two days i've been in the shop for a few hours. I got the hatch trim (that black steel trim goin around the glass), drip moldings, windshield wiper arms, door handles, door lock cylinders, louvers, t-top rail, and the t-top center bar all newly painted with satin black. It all turned out really good and those little details really make a difference! Then the new windshield got put in and the hatch seal. The metro-moulded brand hatch seal went on very easily.
Tomorrow i plan to get the door decals on, hatch, hood, louvers, bumpers, and some other little things together. I should be able to drive it home tomorrow!
I used strip caulk on ALL the speed nuts to keep them tight and prevent leaks. The t-top seals are GM and so are the window sweeps. I think i got everything aligned pretty good, more to do tomorrow.
You can see the caulk around the spoiler speed nuts
. Hes got my GM T-top and belt moldings, and i recieved my metro moulded door and hatch seal. Oh how could i forget! I got carpet in the mail today through 1A Auto, haven't opened it up yet since my car should now be back middle of next week. 
lots of stuff to get done. Anyone wanna come over and help lol. My friends are comin and helpin me get it together.
