I checked out the a 97 Z28 (m6) Friday and it is very nice, wouldn't mind owning it but.....when I went over to my grandparents I decided to start my Iroc up just to make sure she stays running. She started up and just started purring.

I started walking around her and decided that she isn't ready to die yet. I think I will take her back to the bodyshop and have them replace the hood (with a 3" cowl ) the roof skin and pass side rear 1/4 panel and weld in some SFC's. Thinking about putting a 91-92 Z28 Spoiler on there too. I'll probably take it to a paintless dent removal place for all the other hail damage on the frt. fender and doors etc.

Paint can wait, I was going to drop the car off at my mechanic and have him do the AFR Heads/Stealthram/LT4 hotcam/Headers/Gears.

With what I could spend buying a 4th gen, I can make the Iroc pretty nice.

Paint and Interior will have to be done eventually but since it won't be a daily driver I'm not too worried about it.

1 Question though. Do you think Hooker SC Longtube headers is the way to go? Would I be better off with SLP 1 3/4" headers?

BTW this isn't a finalized decision, but it seems to be a smarter one.

Opinions?

 

Just talked to the bodyman. He said if I supply the hood then he will do everything else for $2500-$3000 depending on if I change the body color (to black ).

Does that sound like a good deal?

 

Mike,
That's a pretty good price if they're painting the whole car.
A color change is a whole 'nother animal, though, the labor involved is about another 1/3 of the cost of a complete
Good luck!!!

 

were you the one with the video that showed the damage? that sucks. but im glad to hear you are saving the Iroc A 3 inch cowl and high rise spoiler will look awesome Thats what I want to do. Got the highrise, but cant afford the hood right now lol.

 

Yeah, I'm the one that showed the video.

Guy is more or less family (Fiance's stepdad) so he said it would cost about $300 extra for a color change.....I was like :hail:

Family Discount is

 

That's a smokin' deal!!!! If you were ever thinkin' about changing the color... do it.
We usually charge @ 1200.00 extra for a color change. (That's labor for removing all the panels, cutting in the back sides, pretty much treating them like new panels, edging in all the jambs, detrim interior, etc...)
