Some updates...

Hey guys,

I haven't been on the boards very much lately mainly due to computer problems (it just restarts by itself at random moments) and being pretty busy with other things. Today I found some time to update my webpage and Cardomain page with some new pics after I buffed the car today. I also uploaded the videos of my car on the dyno at Josh's Midwest F-Body Meet June 12th. The videos are here

and here are two of the new pics. I loved the shots I got at this spot last year so I went back with the new ground effects

I am really glad you put the stripe back on it. It gives the car a unique character.

I too have done the GFX swap and hopefully will get the car painted something within a year.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, its always good to hear when you start getting bored with your car.

I got all the pieces from a local guy who parts out thirdgens. His username is LFN AT U. I didn't have to drill any new holes for the door filler pieces, I just had to elongate the current ones.

That is one damn slick Iroc. I am impressed.

For your computer... check the memory speed in BIOS (if you are so inclined ) I had a lot of issues with my computer randomly restarting only to learn my memeory speed was set at 166mhz instead of 133mhz which caused it to heat up too quickly and then restart.

That looks really dammed good and somewhat odd at the same time. The work you did changing the new old to old new turned out great ( ).. the wheels.. confuses the (my) mind as to what it's looking at (wheels yes.. gfx yes.. wrong year for wheels to gfx but, still looks good). Nice twist though
