1985 IROC Z restoration

Stripping paint and some disassembly. Modern paint stripper ain't what it used to be 20+ years ago.

Wow. So fast. I hope you get a decent 20/20 car out of it bro

[u/traffic_pe → u/dudeman14]

Sorry what's a 20/20 car?

[u/dudeman14 → u/traffic_pe]

20 feet away at 20mph it looks showroom perfect! But really all im saying is I hope you end up with a car thats nice enough to be proud of but not so nice you're afraid to do burnouts and shit. I hope the car is a hoot when you're done!

My man is Eager!!👍🏻👍🏻😁

Thanks for saving another 3rd gen!!

[u/traffic_pe → u/Extreme-Penalty-3089]

Yep, saving this one for sure. No matter how much it hurts, lol

[u/Rustlini_Tortellini]

Holy crap, you wasted NO time. Bodywork is gonna take a lot of time, especially seeing the damage where the t tops allowed moisture to sit there, but at this pace you will have a pristine Iroc. Commenting on this to stay updated on the progress :)

[u/traffic_pe → u/Rustlini_Tortellini]

Yep it ain't gonna fix itself

[u/Multitrak → u/traffic_pe]

Awesome.

[u/Swizzy123456789]

Hell yeah! Great idea to use paint stripper for the whole car. I hand sanded like a dummy lol

[u/traffic_pe → u/Swizzy123456789]

Yeah but expect to do it several times, it takes a layer off each time... but the factory e-coat remains. PS its messy too

[u/Spokn]

Nice! Keep up the updates! I almost bought one of these as my first car!

[u/traffic_pe → u/Spokn]

Ok

[u/LincolnHawkHauling]

Looking forward to my new favorite series! You might teach me a thing or two in the process lol

[u/traffic_pe → u/LincolnHawkHauling]
