Very nice progress you have going.

86_irocz-28

birshking

nice job on making your firwall smooth

Lmancha96

Looks good.

So whens it going to be ready for that engine?

86_irocz-28

Gotta save up the money for it still have a few other odds and ends it needs, like the interior plastics, windshield, clutch pedals/slave and master cylinder: along with a t56. Cheapest ls1 ive found was for 1600 but no oil pan,intake,wiring,(intake isnt a big deal as i want a ls6 intake anyways) i may try to get the engine before the rest and just store it in my bedroom until i have everything else

zmadmaxz

store in your bedroom? lol you are my kind of person

86_irocz-28

replaced the bulb for the light controls with an led one pretty happy with it still trying to track down all the interior pieces i need. And at the same time saving any money i get so i can at least get the motor, and if someone else wants to know the bulb is a neo 3mm very tiny and easy to lose

86_irocz-28

Well started smoothing out the side skirt and rear bumber heres finished product of the sideskirt ill get pics of the rear when im done, tomorrow im going to get black paint to finish the engine bay and primer for the hatch piece anyways this is how it turned out

86_irocz-28

so brake lights work!! needless to say previous owner didnt put a fuse in so when i checked them all of them that were in there checked out didnt think to see if any were missing.... Now time to put my dash back together.....

86_irocz-28

86_irocz-28

Got any pics of your car?

Lmancha96

making some great progress here dude.

The car is going to look badass when it is done.

It would be awesome if we both finished our white Camaro's at the same time

86_irocz-28

Im wanting to have it done by the time third gen fest comes around or at least before summer. But made some progress today got all the panels put in also the drivers door handle so no more getting stuck inside if the door shuts so now im down to needing door panels(not sure what i want), headliner, sail panels, and drivers side sill plate and for exterior drivers side skirts so pics!!!

Lmancha96

Ha ha thats funny I actually took out the panels and door panels from my car today lol

i also hope to have mine done by atleast the Thirdgen Round up in May (a texas thirdgen gathering, similar to Thirdgen Fest)

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

86_irocz-28

Finally got new struts for the hatch no more holding the hatch open with a broom handle also no more having to lift it up going to get visors tomorrow i plan on some how maybe trying to mold them with 4th gen ones like i did with my other iroc but other than that not much has been done

Lmancha96

God Damn that thing came a long way! I wouldn't have touched the car... lol

*Golf clap*

86_irocz-28

A lot of my friends along with my gf didn't know why I got it ig I seen something in it nobody else did oh well after buying it for 300 selling what id didn't need for 210 and buying the dash console carpet and seats for 166 I'm only in it for 256 think I'm doing good so far

zmadmaxz

looking good man! your car will be much better than mine... Next year I will be doing a lot of work i think

86_irocz-28

Thanks well its that time!!!! car is getting masked off ready for primer, yes its in a yellow primer but there was a lot of imperfections with runs and unfinished work as well as the new hatch that needed some work, should be done by tomorrow afternoon minus the rear bumper as im still working on smoothing it out

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

what color do you plan on painting this one? or is that top secret?

86_irocz-28

Artic White Wont be until after motor and trans though

Lmancha96

That yellow stuff on your car is primer?

Well I hope they atleast sanded the car down before they primered it.

The idiots who had my car before just decided to pick up some spray cans of primer and start spraying.

that crap drives ME NUTS!!

86_irocz-28

It was done right I started sanding and there was only a slight bit of blue left sucks that's how your car was done

Lmancha96

yeah im glad I picked it upfrom them before they did something stupid like throw paint on it lol.

When I first got the car I was pretty down about how badly it had been treated (kinda regretted buying it), but Ive grown pretty fond of it by now.

Still the way yours started tops the crap out of mine

you definitely deserve a sign for that lol

yeah im most likely going to let the pros handle the body work, I have no clue what the hell I am doing when it comes to all that stuff.


and it can be pretty costly if you dont have all the tools to begin with. Which I dont.

86_irocz-28

Lmancha, thanks. As for body work all I use is is a body hammer, a few shape dollies, and a hand sanding block. Having a little experience helps but a good eye can take you pretty far anyways that's up to you.

But back to the car all but rear bumper is in pimer and well drivers quarter... still needed a tad more work ill get pics up later tonight but quick ? What's the best way to remove the factory stripes off the front bumper I don't want to use a razor blade or anything unless that's the only way.

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

heat gun, just heat over the stripes, carefully pull up a corner with a razor blade, and start peeling. the heat gun makes it a TON easier, but if you dont have access to one, a hair dryer can also work.

86_irocz-28

Thanks man. Well pics as promised

Lmancha96

damn dude you work fast!!

Looks pretty good so far, I cant wait to see it painted. Keep up the GOOD WORK.

86_irocz-28

Thanks the mustang in front of the camaro is next to be done after I get a new front bumper for it anyway id be more than happy to do yours but u live a little far from nebraska

86_irocz-28

Door panels!!!!!!!!!!! So excited to get these on!

Lmancha96

Cool, is the stang your daily?

4th gen door panel right?

Is that a straight fit?

86_irocz-28

Stang yea its my dd 208,000 miles runs like a 110xxx car anyways no there thirdgen panels and they have a different bracket for the armrest that ill have to put on

Most likely from a GTA or Trans Am I believe. Nice! Great build btw.

86_irocz-28

Correct there the deluxe package door panels they were available for gta's and trans am's

86_irocz-28

Drivers side mocked in place, think I decided where to put the irocz badges

86_irocz-28

And there both on just need headliner,dash pad, and drivers sill plate

79tagio

So far your Doing a good job man! Subbed, hope to hear from you soon!

dieseldog

Either there is someone in the passenger seat or you have a ghost!

86_irocz-28

haha no my fiance was trying out the leather seats. Anyways so ive been working on smoothing out the rear bumper its almost there just have a little more to go but going to take a break from it and focus on smoothing the gas cap as some may have seen on my old iroc i smoothed it out used a magnetic clicker to "pop" the door open when I push on it the last one had a few kinks in it but this one should turn out alot better

Looking good man! I like those door panels. I hope my camaro will look as good as yours when im done. I just redid the weatherstipping on my ttops with some silicone and fixed my door lock actuators. Just got a b&m megashifter too, gonna put it in next weekend. Over the winter Im gonna try and do the interior switch to a 4th gen like you did. What did you do with the gap on the sides of the dash? and how do those door panels work with the dash?

86_irocz-28

still havent done anything about the gap... The door panels work great there set back a litlle farther towards the rear of the door and the top part of the handle doesnt stick out nearly as far as the old ones did(they were touching the dash when door was closed) they also seem to flow better with the 4th gen stuff.

86_irocz-28

Progress didn't like the overhead console so got this hope it'll fit ill know later tonite here's a picture of it

Lmancha96

Cool, whats this one from?

86_irocz-28

95 blazer its a little wide going to try to work it in with the headliner but dont have one right now
