Very first thing I did was change out the steering wheel & install a Grant wheel.
Then I put in new exhaust!
and then the tint

Next, I made a sub box for the trunk
It took me 2 days, I know it should have only taken one, but I did all the cutting outside, didnt want all that dust inside the house. And daylight was scarce.
Check it out

Re: here is my 1985 Camaro being cloned into an Iroc from beginning to end

So I had a bit of a set back at the body shop.
when they put on the drivers side F/X, they put the back tracking up to high,
so the ground F/x stuck out way too much and bowed in the middle. It looked like
****ing ****! I told them I wasn't happy and they had to fix it.
Here are some before shots. It sticks out atleast a 1/2 inch and looks like **** with the door closed.

I went in to find it in its final coat of primer today, minus the primer still needed under the hood that they are doing tomorrow. It will be finished Monday or Tuesday.

Re: here is my 1985 Camaro being cloned into an Iroc from beginning to end

A fellow club member "The Project" told me about Mother's Power Plastic for cleaning the lenses on my Camaro. So I went out and got some, and with 10 mins of work, here is the outcome. I used a mini powerball with Mothers PP.




Here is my hood with the under spray, on monday they will be spraying it red. And the car in it's final coat of primer. as well as my louvers being prepped

I am using Outlaw Centerline Rims like these, they are getting polished right now, so I will be installing them as soon as they are finished.

That first picture at the top was a month ago.
I owned it for a week before I put it into the body shop.
so total work was about 3 weeks.
