Do you plan on shaving the handles?

That gas cap thing is awesome, I was just thinking the other day if that was possible then I remembered someone on here had done it..

86_irocz-28

Door handles are staying along with door locks. And yep that would be me if you need a build thread for the gas cap i can start one

Lmancha96

That would be awesome, take your time though, no need to rush it.

Im still deciding whether or not I should shave them.....

you know because not having door handles can really cause you some problems

My car is originally manual windows and locks but the doors I am using off of my 91 are power but im not so sure how easy it will be to wire everything so It can be power.....

86_irocz-28

Alright ill get a complete one after Im finished. Anyways back to this overhead console as i said it a little wide heres pics of it in.

86_irocz-28

Anyways for the first time since the first week I had the car the hood is back on also got my window switches that I ordered off ebay still on the hunt for a motor and trans

Lmancha96

Looks good...... Were you able to wire it all in correctly.

What kind of engine are you planning on getting?

86_irocz-28

yea i got it wired dome light works the map lights work to. Going to get an ls1 an t56

86_irocz-28

86_irocz-28

And just incase anyone is wondering t resanded the rear bumper in the middle didnt like the way it looks so redoing that section

86_irocz-28

Back to work on her pulled the brake booster out which was kind of a p.i.a. as for the brake pedal how much needs to be removed just the pedal or the whole bracket its connected to im thinking the whole bracket but dont want to pull it out and have to put it back in.

Lmancha96

Yea if i remember correctly it is the whole bracket. Not sure

The overall primer job came out good

Keep it up....

86_irocz-28

New rims tomorrow ill have pics up tomorrow afternoon

86_irocz-28

So minor issue wont have the new rims till sunday which until then the car will be on jack stands also im ditching the overhead console idea due to the more I think about it the more it seems like a huge pain to try and make it work instead ill be getting a mirror that has the temp/compass in it this will give it a cleaner look and still maintain a more modern feel for the interior. Ill be on the look out for an overhead console that i wont have to modify to fit next thing on my list is motor and trans!!!

Lmancha96

Why not get the stock overhead console for it?

Hawks has it

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/pr...d-Console.html

its definitely on my list...

and what kinda rims you getting

86_irocz-28

Had one in my old iroc i just never liked the dials and that huge ball. Ill be getting a set of factory iroc's

86_irocz-28

well here they are i know there not factory 86's but for now theyll do

Lmancha96

They look good....

Definitely look better than those 15's

86_irocz-28

yea one of the tires has a nail in it not a big deal The guy i got the rims from owns 4 thirdgens one has a slp ls1 and 6 speed he said it was pushing 450hp and is a blast to drive!! Cant wait to have mine in and runnning back to topic been working on the gas cap progress has been slow due to working so much

Lmancha96

Good stuff...

How much HP are you reaching for?

450 is ALOT!

86_irocz-28

For now i would like to see at least 350hp eventually 450-500

86_irocz-28

my little project that ive been busy with

86_irocz-28

Gas cap should be done tomorrow still on the look for a motor and trans next week ill be getting the motor mounts so that way the car is ready for the motor

86_irocz-28

Lmancha96

86_irocz-28

Got the sensor it all works great recieved my pedals last night!!!!! got them mocked in place need to drill the hole for the master cylinder, cant seem to find my drill bits.......

zmadmaxz

isnt that the way it always is? When you need something you can't find it! lol

86_irocz-28

Yea well couldn't find it so going buy a new one anyways realized I never posted pics of the interior after redoing it so pic, it looks better in person stupid phone camera

86_irocz-28

Camaro hasnt got any attention at all been busy with getting the mustang done its in primer waiting to get new paint(the light blue 2012 mustang color)

zmadmaxz

my car has been put on back burner, with no heat in New england means not driving it. Im gonna rig up a heater box from my k10, make it fit. Once i have heat, ill put the shifter and glow gauges in. Oh and fix the starter so it actually turns on lol

86_irocz-28

Oh back to work on the camaro got the hole drilled for the master cylinder(am I suppose to use the 3rd gen t5 master/slave or the 4th gen t56 one) im pretty sure the 4th gen stuff but wanted to make sure also started on molding the passenger side kick panel for a speaker oh and I got a manual shifter plate as always pics

86_irocz-28

anyone?

Anyways the kick panel is done waiting on the speaker grille i ordered off ebay setup sounds great considering thats the only speaker thats hooked up so far debating on putting 8" subs in the sail panels like al hasse did

zmadmaxz

If your talking about master/slave clutch setup im pretty sure you would go with the t56 one if thats what you are using. I bet if you searched the web for t56 master, you could find an article to be 100% sure

86_irocz-28

yea im using a t56 i figured i needed the stuff now that i think about it i remember bluezee28 talking about that awhile back as far as progress not much got the speaker rings today havent put them on due to it being so cold out lately and in the process of moving the new place has a garage so ill be able to work on it more been searching around the junkyards and the local/surrounding craigslist ads for parts but no luck

86_irocz-28

kick panels done just needs to sprayed to match the rest of the interior heres a pic

zmadmaxz

looks good

Lmancha96

Did you also redo the seats?

and how has the progress with the stang been going?

and how has the search for the ls been going?

86_irocz-28

No seats are staying the color they are as of now my interior consists of black(carpet,panels) dark gray(dash) gray(seats) light gray(sail panels,door panel cloth)

As for the stang good surprised its still running at 212xxx miles then again the trans had been built/replaced before we got it and ive replaced the entire cooling, ignition, and fuel system minus the injectors it made it from lincoln to northplatte(3hrs) and back on christmas things to do on it is pass side o2 sensor, front/rear bumper replaced and drivers side quarter panel(everything else is in primer) and replace convertible motor

Oh the ls i almost had one for 850 last week but the guy just sold it that morning so search is still on....

Lmancha96

the only ford I have ever had any experience with is a 02 ford Focus and that car was a piece of **** lol

but i guess ford makes their flagship vehicle a little better ha ha

That sucks dude... just keep on searchingggg

Also I hear the wiring harness for those engines is a pain to do will you be doing it yourself?

86_irocz-28

wiring harness... plan on doing a seperate harness for the engine... Right now the body harness(lights,interior,stereo) is all by itsself. Painless performance makes one comes with the ecm/comp already flashed ready to go but they also want $1100 for it

Lmancha96

Damn they are expensive...

But if you want the best you have to pay top dollar

You can never go wrong with an LS

86_irocz-28

400hp at 28mpg is better than my old iroc 380 at 8mpg

Lmancha96

What cause the car to run so crappy like that?

8mpg is almost like WTF! should I even be driving this car lol

But im pretty sure every guy out there with a "slab" on 26's and 3 15's in the back is doing around the same right. LOL

86_irocz-28

245's all the way around just couldnt keep my foot outta it car was so much fun and a auto trans oh and it was a carbed first gen sbc bored .30 over.... loved it though

86_irocz-28

No progress due to weather being so cold and getting situated at the new place however i did get her moved to the garage finally and got all the parts sorted through. Hoping it warms up soon so I can start some work on her again heres a pic of the new home for her

86_irocz-28
