Re: 86 iroc z28 rusted under-body and two holes on drivers side.

Floor pans. You can get them full or partial, left or right side. I know Hawks and Classic Industries carry them. They can get a little expensive once you factor in freight shipping.

I believe the larger your intake runner the lower your RPM power band will be... I think. Not an expert by any means, but if that holds true, you'd be generating more power (torque) in the lower RPM...

Re: Heritage stripe stencils?

I prefer to call it "inverted linear paint application & transposition," but "reverse mask" works as well.

The paint you had on the Z wouldn't look too bad, but I'd rethink the stripes- maybe a grey versus gloss black. I always like the traditional white stripes myself.
