Oh, and Iroc progress.

Today I got to lay the Iroc down on all four wheels. It was nice. Of coarse, I didn't put the wheels on, I made my uncle do it who was there to help me.
But it was ok because after that, I installed my radiator and cool looking custom one of a kind travis-made custom radiator support sheet metal. Notice pics

Re: Oh, and Iroc progress.

Looking good. Mine should be on the ground here in a few weeks. I'm picking up my Sportlines and finishing the Z06 setup. I am still debating on the Spohn K member and A arms or just going the cheap route and using the stockers.

How much longer would you say till it's driveable?

Good to see some work on your roc. Let's paint it black and make it look as factory as possible with a smog sticker!

Driveable? March is still my projected date, and its looking very good

everything in my sig will be true and running by then.
If you look closely, I changed my head specs at the last moment. I didn't feel 210cc were big enough.

its a week by week basis, I get chemo on mondays and am sick for a week it feels, then the next week I am good enough to move around and do stuff, just still sore, as I mentioned about the tires, It's too sore for me to crouch down and lift a tire to mount on the car. But oh well, I can still have fun.

Re: Oh, and Iroc progress.

Make sure my axle and tranny hold up. and of coarse, that the engine doesnt 'blow' because of an improper tune on the ol' gen 6 unit.

Re: Oh, and Iroc progress.

Travis,

What did you do with the hole in your block? Obviously you filled it up. What did you use?

The last time I did that I just welded the hole back up.

Moroso Block filler. I left the block upright and let it fill up into the corners a little bit only about an inch.

Travis, can you pick a couple possible weekends for the February thrash so we can get a group together to help??????? The sooner we can calender it in, the better- Especially if we have people coming into town that need to group buy a hotel room..... Nitro
