!985 Iroc-Z 305/TPI 700r4. New posi rear end, complete front and rear suspension rebuild, new fuel tank and pump, complete brake job front and rear,new interior and stereo,dual-gate shifter. Next step: LS engine . That is when I find one.

 

Nice looking ride!!! I'll see you at the winter meet in Bear Creek....

 

Very cool car. I had an 87' with the same color combo.

 

How do you like the dual gate shifter?

 

Beautiful car man! How does that Dual Gate work?

Hey, Bad,

What a beater! If you'll trailer it to Kansas for me, I'll take it off your hands .

Now thats a sharp looking third gen! Where'd you get the new camaro cloth from? I thought it was almost impossible to find.

How many miles does that car have on it?

 

Dual-Gate works fine for speed shifting as long as you kind of push it up and to the right as you shift. B&M Mega-Shifter is better as a ratchet type but has flimsy back-up and neutral safety switches. Dual uses OEM neutral/backup switch and mounts without cutting console.Overall I like the Dual-Gate better due to installation ease and cosmetic looks. IMAO! As for the interior cloth, it is original. I had to recover side areas and back of seats and kept the OEM centers. I am original owner of car and it has 83000 miles on it. Have spent the last year rebuilding the entire undercarriage and interior of car. All left to do is find a 427 LS7. Drives and handles better than when new. Now it's on to Kansas towing an empty trailer, to steal that beater there.

 

Cold beer awaits! Love that black and gold, Bad.

Now that is one fine automobile you have there.

 

Great looking car badman. One of my favorite color/interior combos. So your going LS7 huh? You'll probably be the first to go LS7.

 

Finding a used LS7 setup has become a chore. Cost for a few I found was outrageous. In no hurry though, maybe one day soon I'll find a decent deal on one. Then, installing it will be an even larger chore.

 

I hear ya badman. I don't know it would drop in with the dry sump and oil system. I'm not that familiar with the LS7 setup. Other than that it would probably be you regular LSX swap.

 

So did you recover the sides of the seats yourself or have it done? If you did it yourself how difficult was it? I've worn a pretty nasty hole in the outside part of my driver seat and I'd like to get it fixed since the rest of the upholstery is pretty much cherry.

 

My advice is to have it repaired at an trim shop. Used a local shop and for about $175.00, they replaced the side panels and rear panels and steam cleaned the front and rear seats.Sewing seats is for the pros to do.
