Re: Finally Finished! 1987 IROC-Z!

Congratulations on your accomplishment. I think everyone who ever had a car painted has a "paint jail" story. The car looks awesome, and the personal touches make it "yours". Enjoy it!

Re: How do I test my driverside seatbelt?

It's an inertia reel in the belt mechanism. No need to have the car running, or use the brakes. Sit in the car and jerk on the belt hard and fast. If functional it should lock up.

Re: Frame Measurements

You can also try measuring diagonally from the core support to the cowl using the same reference points for each side. They should be the same if there is no damage.

Re: crosse fire hood ?

Rock auto lists two different part numbers for steel versus CFI (fiberglass) hood struts. I would not use your existing struts as you may crack the hood when you attempt to close it.
