i know, its more of a dream to eventually get one, Even if i find one with like no good metal, for the right price, at least its a good starting point since it will be 90% custom and a long term goal/project. It'd be chopped, channelled, sectioned, shaved, everything. 383/th350 drivetrain(perhaps ls1) and all custom interior. I'm downsizing with my projects and parts and getting so that i could actually move in less than 2 years. I also know its gonna take a logn time finding the one i want thats why i said i hope to find one over the next year, lol, but if not, i'll keep looking. I'm gonna give it some more research to see if a 4dr could be modded enough into a 2 door(like if the front and rear clips are excatly the same. With all the cutting/fabricating i plan, lengthening the door and shortening the wheelbase wont be a problem at all.
Ted, the 88 iroc vert right now is a rolling chassis, i pulled my 383 from it last year and then bought the car back like 2 months ago. First off it needs a paint job. I have the complete driovetrain and interior out of a 89 iroc that i'll drop in it when i get a chance. thats a 350tpi/700r4 combo with 68k original miles. It also has a daytona iroc cowl hood, and the front clip off the 89 will go on it as well. The 88 has the 16 " iroc wheels and all the original vert specific pieces, spoilers, interior trim etc, just need the latch to keep the top locked down in the rear and maybe some odd and end weatherstripping.
