I felt the need to pull the IROC out of the garage today, and give it a bath. Dusty = bad.

Here's some pictures. They aren't the best, but a couple came out very nicely. Not bad for a cell phone camera at all.

Oh yeah.. Excuse the over-grown lawn. First time washing the IROC in 2010, first time mowing the lawn in 2010 will have to be soon. LOL.

Re: Got the IROC out and gave it a nice spring cleaning.. Lots of pictures.

Guess I'll post a few more. Mostly the same pictures at just slightly different angles. Don't mind me, I'm just bored.







Wanna see my messy garage? It's mainly my dog's home, check out his pimpin' house. I need to get around the straightening that up too. So much to do after winter. The snow even yanked the bolts for the light out, over top of my garage. Wonderful.



And for anyone that cares about my future plans for the Camaro, it will make you blue-paint-lovers proud. I decided to stick with blue, just a different shade, just because of how nice a couple of these pictures turned out.

1996 Dodge Viper GTS Pearl Blue. If and/or when I go down this route, I may even mix in a bit of metallic flake. Pearl-Metallic Viper GTS blue would look absolutely sick.

LOL! Excavators?! The front part of my lawn is thick enough to bog down a weaker push mower, but I don't think it would take anything like an excavator.

..That would be fun though. Smashing the grass down with an excavator, and pretending that it's cut!

nice! looks good got any interior shots or engine bay shots? and im glad your sticking with blue (i guess my bit*hin at you did pay off ) and that blue on the viper looks bad azz! expecially if there was a flake in it now that would be nice! good luck and atleast you have room in your garage mine is hard to move around it and sucks to work in with the car inside.

I'm honestly not too sure about blue at all. I'd like to keep the car somewhat original, but BMW Jet Black just looks too nice. I'll probably end up going with that. My interior is just bare metal for now.







When finished, my interior is going to be a few sheets of black powder coated aluminum. I like the look of it, and I'm sick of messing around with those plastic clips and screws. They constantly crack.



It's just almost too hard for me to decide. An original look, or this beautiful paint..

Heh, if you look very closely in this picture, you can see that I still have no door panels, just bare metal, but I bolted the seats in real quick so I could pull it out.

o come on man go with the viper blue! i also like black but jeez really how many blue thirdgens do you see that are actually nice? you see plenty of nice black thirdgens that they just dont stand up anymore. btw i took out my seats and re-installed because well i wanted to see if i could find anything under (Lol) but mostly because the driver seat was really wobbly like you felt that you would fall away from the steering wheel. and well it still does it even though i have them nicely tighted down. anyone know what i can do? sorry for the thread hijack. btw isnt that triangular air cleaner a restriction?

I know that exact feeling, as should every Third Gen owner. It's just a worn out seat. Feels kind of weak, like it could fall back at anytime, right?

Re: Got the IROC out and gave it a nice spring cleaning.. Lots of pictures.

i would love to know... mine slides all over the place when i drive hard.
when i brake hard, i swear the whole seat slides foreward 4" and i have to push it back into place.
the passenger seat is the best though.
the "retainer" clip that you have to pull to get the seat to lean foreward to get into the back seat broke and when i hit the brakes and nobody is sitting in it, it flings foreward.
guess i need some nice 4th gen seats. it would be nice to get a little lower down... i love that feeling, and it lowers the CG.
