progress on the iroc..

that looks really good/clean. i'd give the trans some nice paint attention as well if its still out of the car.

The engine bay looks great!

yeah it is, the only problem with that is the trans leaks like a ***** and is alway 'wet'. Im going to look at it tonight and see how bad the gears are inside...if they are totally gone then ill need some kind of service or something :( but thanks for the replies...now if the exterior looked that good...:rofl:

thats **** looks REALLLY REALLY clean... very nice

Nice work!

very nice!!! care to do mine next??? lmao im going from burgandy to white and black. looks great though,u need any help im just down the road.

ok got an update, finally got the motor and trans in. The trans is ok for now, its still going to whine but at over 400 for parts it can stay like that. my trans guy said its fine and replaced a bearing that was shot. so i bolted it together and here we are...

In about another 3-4 hours on the motor it will be running, just need the basics installed.

very sweet man cant wait for an update

nice job it looks great

Almost there, looks good!

lookin real sweet. i would have done something with the headers though. like jet hot or something.

yeah i know, those eye sores lol, this motor isnt permanent, just until i save up the money to get a 350 or lsx series. I dunno yet tho, they work for now and they match the outside of the car haha

true if you are doing a different motor then eff it. you could pick up some hi temp ceramic du pont stuff at napa or whatever and make it look nice for a little. but whatever works.

yeah i tried when i first got them i used eastwoods high temp paint...that lasted about 20 minutes so ill put up with it for now.

i want to be able to hear this car from my house, even thou thats not far at all.

running open headers you probably will, im not putting my y-pipe on till i get the gmmg, which will be at the end of the month or so.

lookin good...keep up the good work :nod:

Looks great! I think you should do mine as well! :rofl:
