Looks like you got a good car to work with. T-tops is a plus. What year is it? The dash pad looks good - is it cracked at all?

Welcome to the boards and good luck with your car.

might want a frame guy to look at that and make sure that didnt bend anything else, it kinda looks like the supports the fenders bolt on to are tweaked. blue irocs rule! good luck with ur project, im currently doin body work on my blue roc. taken that windsheild out was fun i bet, mine was a bitch.

Man the former owner was not tooo bright when he used the flimsly as it is radiator support to pull his car out of the ditch. The k member would have done the job correctly.

I'm glad it has a good owner taking care of it now

what type of a moron pulls a car out by the rad support....thought process...it can hold the what 20 pounds of a radiator? it should be able to support the whole weight of the car as we pull it out some people really dont deserve nice cars....

What plans do you have for the car? Are you going to put a 87 IROC nose on there or something? What kind of hood?

well the front enf of the car i got off the 85 that sat in front of mine i scrapped it for money and sent it to the yard. it was a georga car and full of cancer so i took what i could and sent the rest. i have a good camaro hood and front end but still need a rad support and fenders, then on to the spice game of motor and little extras, have a friend in phoniex to paint it for free just have to drop it off!!! good to have friends!
