Went and picked it up today from Derek (90 Z28SS) - thanks again man for all your help!!

It isn't totally adjusted yet, but Im gonna have the bodyshop to do that, we figured they would have the best shot at getting it as perfect as possible.

Here are a few pics of the dirty car in the dark, LOL, but you get the idea!!

Do you get any rubbing with wheels that wide? I was thinking about 17x11 rears. Think they'd fit ok or will I be rolling the lip and pounding on the inner fender?

Thanks man, - and for the price, can't tell - wife might be browsing here...

Tas,
The only rubbing I get is up front while backing out of parking spaced etc at full turn - but that was the same thing with the stock 16"s wheels. There is no rubbing at all on the rear.
I see 'quite a few' people are using 17x11 rears, and I *believe* rolling the lip is a pretty common mod along with it LOL. Personally I didn't want 11's on the back as they are a tad too much when seeing the car from behind, for my liking. But that is just my personal preference - lots of nice looking cars out there with 11's. Maybe some of the guys with that size will chip in on whats needed to make them fit.



Ken

 

Where do u buy that hood?

 

Unless you like the sleeper look, I would suggest getting some chrome exhaust tips. That's the one thing your car is missing, in my opinion.

 

lanyabuddy,
http://www.americansportscar.com is who produce them.
And I know some of the other vendors sell them too.

Mark,
I actually beat you too it..LOL, I had the Edelbrock RPM tips welded on this past week
Here is a NASTY pic of them from last night, where they were very dirty. It doesn't do them justice at all, but anyway:

I am thinking....custom "chop top" covertable done after the fact to it. That was all the "Factory ones where" I am really thinking about it for my black ROC. What does that cost?

 

We get those pictures in daylight yet? I'm ready to see it.

Im sorry, I haven't had time to even go outside today, and even less to go wash of the car etc. We are supposed to get some real nice and mild days this week, I might even be able to take some top down pics.
I'll post them as soon as I take them.

SMURFN'Z28,
the car is an '86 - but it was not converted by ASC. This particular car was done by Choo Choo Customs with the same parts that was used for the 87's from ASC.

camaro6spd, I don't know what it would cost to get it done, as this one was done while it was new - and sold as a 'vert from the dealership. The most difficult part now would be to find all the parts needed for the conversion. I think you would be way better off buying even a trashed out one and moving over whatever you could from your IROC.


Ken

 

The absolute best color for IROC-Z's is that right there. It looks good.

 

Ah, I wanted that hood from him!

Your car is much more deserving any way. Beautiful man!

Thanks yet again guys!!

JucinGTA, LOL - are you sayin' my car is rice..?..I never seen a fart can as small as 2.5"..
I knew I shouldn't have taken the pic when they looked so nasty..



Ken

 

Hey Ken are you still thinking about doing the 4 tips close together like the 4th Gen aftermarket pipes? There was a Photoshop of it on here awhile ago.

------------------

See my Ride:
https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/index...ew&rideid=1324

 

I checked that site, and there are 2 different hoods, one with more clearance. Too bad you can't see the whole car with the big block hood. I kinda like it, but I like the flat one as well.

 

I can't inf any converts in NJ. I almost had one for 2500 but it sold right before I got there......DAMN!

 

I assume you are talking about the PhotoShop that I made of my car, right? I would love to do it, but it won't be right now. I don't see that it could possibly look good without some kind of lower rear valance, and I don't know of any available for our cars.
So, that will be a future project. Or, actually, a PART of THE future project with the car. I have some nice plans for the car, but it all boils down to time, $$$ and a place to do it. And I have none of those right now...LOL.


Ken

 

You know I like the pics in the dark better.
For some reason it goes better as a whole theme.
