The only problem I see with it is it's not in my driveway!If anybody gives you a problem about the way you fixed that car,you should slap them upside the head,that's a beautiful car.

 

FTW!

That'd be sweet. I'll think about it


The stripes are on it now, but it's still not DONE because I haven't had time to put the louvers on yet, and for some reason the trunk pulldown motor stopped working...It's pissing me off, I've had to buy about 4 of these things ever since I became a 3rd gen owner. They suck

I don't know how I like the stripes. I mean they look good and all, but they're flipped around. The silver one is on top cuz I wasn't here when my dad put them on. Silly dad, he didn't know which way they went

 

i decided not to put the iroc stripes back on just the door decals. after seeing the car withought the stripes i think it looks alot smoother.

Do not post in this thread if you're only intent is to start crap with me on the terms of how my dad and I put this car together. We did it our way, and if you have a problem with it, then leave now and forever hold your peace.


Bro, I don't know what your worried about? It looks awesome! I've a 91Z with a stock color which looks very similar to the color you painted your z! My good buddy has a 91 exactly like mine...with a procharger. Love the color and I appricate the fact that you and your dad did it the right way!

lOOKS GREAT!

 

where the finished pics? as far as the stripe goes I like the stripe on my iroc idk it probaly looks great boith ways

 

@ this thread

 

Actually, the iroc emblems are aligned factory perfect on this car. Ask him how.

 

True story

 

Looks decent. You can hardly see the body filler you slobbered all over it.

 

Looks good man, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Plain82, if you came in here just to start more ****, go choke on a knife.

 

Agreed. Why must this be a high school cat-fight.

 

ok how...? i want mine to be in the correct spot as well.

 

It's very simple. Rather than spending the money on new decals and painting your car the right way, just mask off the factory decals and paint around them. Voila! perfect positioning. Since your car appears to have already been painted properly, you'll need to do it the hard way and position them based on measurements.

 

Just get ahold of the measurements, I know there a few people on here who can tell you how far up and back they are positioned from the back corner of the door. I masked them off when I painted the car.

 

LAWL!!

Best... Restoration...Ever!!!!

 

since yours are factory correct and everything would you like to measure it for me? that will give you a reason to go in the garage and look at it like you said lol!

 

nick, this is amazing loving your work once again. although i agree with one of the other members it needs to be in my garage. that is the iroc i was looking for when i bought my rs. keep up the great work bro

 

You sure you wanna put the decals back on? I've had the decals for mine sitting in a closet since I painted the car about 5 or 6 years ago. I just can't bring myself to put them on.

 

I know I'm a 'bird man and have no place really to speak on this ... but, to me, an IROC just isn't and IROC without the decals. I think they look sharp.

 

Completely agree with gcgarner, it just isnt an iroc without em. Either way it looks pretty damn sweet.

 

Nick,

Get some pictures of the finished product man!!!!!!! I'm dyin to see em!!

 

I'll try and remember to do that tomorrow. I'm watching the youth pastor's house from my church this weekend and won't be back at my house till tomorrow night after work to get some more clothes. But I'll try and remember to get those measurements for you bro



And I JUST NOW fixed the hatch pull down motor, so she's 99% done. I gotta finish putting the grill back on and put the passenger windshield wiper back on, that stupid thing is giving me hell

 

Not to split hairs, but how can I start "more ****" if this is the first time that I've posted in a long time? Unless you're talking about all the **** that other people gave him over half-assing his car. I can't be blamed for that. I did not hold a gun to their heads and tell them what to type.

 

I say we ignore all the comments that aren't exactly helping this thread, if we dont im sure it'll get out of hand just like the last one. If you don't like it, dont post.

Snap some more pictures, im dying to see it!

 

WOW looks good, I love the color.

 

I'm not posting anything negative in regards to the content of this thread. It's pointless to.

I am somewhat intrigued, though, as to why a stock color repaint is generating so many comments in regards to the color choice?

I believe GM started painting IROC-Z's Quasar Blue in 1985 - it's nothing "new"

 

then why did you post anything then!!!!!!!!!

 

thats how i feel about it. i really want the decals on there the stripes arent that big of a deal but the decals will go back on, to me its what makes an iroc an iroc.

 

Reading comprehension, and you would see why I replied.

I didn't say anything negative at all.

 

sean idk when you bought your rs but about 2 years ago one of my friends here in warner robins sold his all original 20K mile 90 iroc same color for around $10K.

that is my second favorite color on irocs besides the maroon of coarse and yellow comes third. all three of those colors are very very nice!

 

It's Ultra Blue Metallic not Medium Quasar Blue (like it makes a difference anyways)



But I get the same remarks about the convertible, it's just a stock color...sure it's a sweet color but there's a few thousand other 3rd gens the same color out there

 

Your car looks way better the way it is now. Its simple, and its good looking. The 80's IROC stickers date the car, IMHO.

Since youve gone so far as to have it all done the right way already, add one more vote for leave them off. That car looks great.

Id tell Blue to leave them off too, but................

 

There's no sense in trying to make a 3rd gen look like a current model car. They're 20+ yrs old for the most part, so why try and make them look "current" by leaving off the stickers that supposedly "date them". If you're gonna take off the door stickers you might as well take off all the emblems including the nose badge. Those date the car too since there's no fbodies being produced anymore.

 

I always loved the iroc stripes. Once I get my RS mechanically top-notch and finally get around to considering a repaint, I keep throwing around putting IROC stripes on it, but not the decals (since it's not an IROC )... But those stripes to me really set off the ground effects...

 

i bought my car almost 7 yrs ago
----------

not to bust your bubble but they dont look right with the 91-92 ground gx's. thats just my opinion

 

 

Oh yea, I got the car completely put back together now. And I fixed the trunk pull down motor FINALLY. I'll pull her out of the garage sometime this week whenever it gets warm enough to wash it in the driveway. It's supposed to be in the upper 50's and lower 60's later this week so I'll clean both cars up and take some pictures for you guys.

 

sweet I cant wait

 

i will have to agree that it does look good now but i want the iroc stickers on there its what makes irocs irocs and that is why i paid more for the car i want everyone to know that it is an iroc anyway, its like having a yenko camaro and taking the yenko stickers off it, i little difference in price but still the same concept lol. i am ordering my billet emblems and all tomaro so all i have left to put on is the billet iroc emblems to and also the door decals.

i will have to agree with everyone else the iroc stripes dont look good with the aero gfx.

hurry up and get those new pics bluezee! lol

 

it's supposed to rain! I'm not gonna wash the cars until the roads are dry again

 

i know man im just givin ya a hard time.

 

I'm still not 100% happy with it, both quarter panels and the passenger side door need to be sanded again and re-buffed. Other than that, she turned out pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Here's some pictures I took today. And the front license plate wasn't my idea, my dad wanted it to go back on and I had no say in the matter.

God I hate TGO's file limit. I resized the pics and they're still choppy...













----------
The crap at the bottom of the quarter panel in picture #4 is mud. I JUST WASHED it and it's already dirty

 

Lookin' good! Those stripes do look funny reversed like that. Are they supposed to have space between them too?

 

 

ya that passenger side definitely needs to be attended to, throw some tire shine on that beast!

 

Yea, I'm getting used to the look of them. And yes they're supposed to have a gap between them. The original ones had a gap too.
The more I look at the pictures the more I want to stay up all night and sand and buff it again. I won't have time to do that until this weekend though

 

looks great those stripes on the side look extra big for some reason I dont know if it's cause there reversed or what, but still looks great anyways

 

Lookin good my man! Tell ya what, these headers sittin here with your name on'em, I'll give'em to you for *free*... if you repaint my whole car. Glad things are rolling well for ya Nick. So what car are you taking, the '91 or the '90? Lemme tell ya, I bet that '90 could beat up on the ol' vert.

 

huh? what's that? Do I hear it begging for a Hawks spoiler??? methinks so.....

lookin good man - my 2nd fav color for a thirdgen without a doubt

 

thats looks a lot better in the sunshine
