Re: New pics of the IROC-Z
Thanks! GM bright red all dolled up.
Earlier in the spring i went over it with a clay bar, wheeled it out with some ultra fine cut on a wool bonnet, then hit it with some wizards polish / swirl remover with a foam pad. One of those little trial wizards bottles was just enough to do the car!

Looks great man. The stance and shine are just about as perfect as it gets.
I know you didn't ask for suggestions, and you may have already thought about it... ditch the floppy antenna

Re: New pics of the IROC-Z
Thanks Brandon! Always looking for extra sets of eyes.
As far as the antennae goes; it's on my list of things to do! I was right in suspecting that the fuel pump was on the way out and just replaced that. Runs so much better at low RPM. Aside from that, my focus has been working on the under-hood. Trying to get my non-ac heater box and new wires / looms installed over the next few days.

Re: New pics of the IROC-Z
Will do. It won't be perfect.. I need to have the intake manifold recoated. The old double pumper leaked a ton of fuel and permanently stained it.. That's a project for the winter.
Still debating if i want to put an Edelbrock top end kit and a pete jackson noisy gear drive on it or not. I should probably figure that out before I have the intake re-shot.

Haha I was hoping nobody would notice that! Honestly I cleared it by about a centimeter using dumb luck lol. All those front valances are good for is scraping and repainting anyway.
Thanks!

Took a pair of shots from the Woodward Dream Cruise 2013. I scooted up to Woodward on Tuesday and there was plenty of action.
