After 3+ long years of being off the road, the IROC is finally nearing completion.
Attached below are some teaser pics of the car.
She is about 98% complete. The only things left to do is to finish buffing the paint, install the body moldings, and some other little nick nacks. Don't mind the blue tape on the fenders. It is there to protect the new paint until the 3m tape arrives.
We decided to do the paint in my garage. Along the way, I had some crazy life changes, so that's why it has taken so long to complete the car. As well, this is the first time we have attempted a major paint job and I didn't understand what I was getting into. Doing a proper paint job is definitely something I do not want to do again!
Some of the custom body mods include removal of body insignia, and installation of a 91/92 front spoiler (more aggressive rake than the pre 91 models). There are a boat load of other mods but will update on another thread soon.

 

 

AMAZING WORK!!! Paint, hood and irocs are just sick!!!

 

very nice work. man with paint like that i would cry if i hit rock chips. def one of the best black cars i ever seen.

 

Love it man. Have any issues with water getting on the engine with the hood that way? And where did you buy your IROCs?

 

That's only half a 91-92 front spoiler! haha It doesn't have the side scoops. Anyway, looks amazing!

 

Stunning car! Job well done.. one clean convertible! Any shots under the hood, it looks just a nice from what I can see under the louvers

For some reason I want to say this car never sees rain...but i could be wrong

 

Wow! What an awesome IROC! I cant believe you painted your car yourself and it looks that good!

 

Very clean man! Your rims compliment the car but I wonder how a set of chrome would look with the black on black. I plan on doing that with my vert. Pics coming real soon.

 

I'm sure it doesn't, I love how that looks, but my car is driven in the rain. So it's not worth it if it's going to mess up my motor.

 

Correct! We filled in the side panels to make it look like a 90' spoiler, but with a more aggressive look.

In regards to the hood, it will never see rain! This car is only a weekend warrior.

In terms of the wheels, I got them over 10 years ago, but the company has since gone out of business.

 

I am sure that while driving rain wouldn't be an issue, though might cuase some steam, but I would like to know about when parked?

 

When you say " filled in side panels" you mean you filled the scoops/holes??

 

Correct, we filled in the scoops.

 

Fricken awesome. Yours is one of the major reasons I originally wanted to get a 'vert thirdgen. How long have you had it now?

 

Never even thought about that. I may have to try that out. I have filled my emblems, antenna, and rear wiper hole. But I like that rake on that chin spoiler. Looks meaner

 

How you planning on washing it with those holes in the hood?

 

My guess, manual operation on the washing.

Most modern engines do not have a problem with the occasional drop of water. When driving inn rain most engines see their fair share.

Since this build looks welle excuted rather then jury rigged, I do not see a lot of harm in spraying the car off with a hose, then cleaning it by hand.

Soaking the running engine, like in a carwash however would be less beneficial I think.

 

Cover the holes lol....

 

 

that is one clean camaro! want to come paint mine? haha

i've always liked the shaved badges on the nose. awesome job!

 

looks great

 

Sucks the company went out of business. Do you remember the name? Maybe I can dig up a set. Also, what did you fill the holes with? I have a 91-92 chin and that looks awesome. Did you just fiberglass them closed?

 

It was probably Oasis wheels, they are still around, they just quit making IROC wheels.

I do like that chin spoiler, I have to say...nice work.

 

I looked them up, still making IROCs, just only in chrome. And I can't say I like the chrome.

 

Amazing! I want a vert now

 

the hood louvers look great but not something I would do, I drive my cars too much!!

 

that's a job well done!
car just looks amazing ... I've been playing with the idea of loosing the rear seat too in my vert.

 

cant wait to see this thing next month man!

 

looking forward to seeing it in person

 

Like wise! Love the BMW lights! I may have to copy your design

 

WOW!!
