I've got a bunch, but fbody.com is down right now.

When the site comes back up, I'll post some pics. I hope to make a website soon.

well, it's slow as nuts, but it seems to be working. Here's a couple pics of it almost done. Since I took the pics I put the side moldings on, but I'm still waiting for some brackets for my ground effects on the passenger side.



Ugh. This thing is instanely slow.

Jim,

Looks just like my old trans am. Dont know if you ever saw it while you were in Rochester. We were supposed to meet but never did.

Does it have an auto or 5 speed? Digital or analog dash?

I now have an 85 Iroc that needs restoration badly. It needs just about everything. So I am gathering parts right now for the whole thing. Wouldn't happen to have the old MAF Relay that hangs off the PCM would ya?

It's a stick with a dig dash. I was in love with the dig dash at first, but the lack of precision on the tach is driving me crazy now.

That burnoff-module on the PCM is MEGA expensive. GM gets about $1,000 for it. I'm converting my car to the 86-89 style ECM, and when I do, I'll sell you the module if you still need it then.

If you plan to mod this car, dump that 85 ECM before you even begin the project. My 85 runs like a pile of crap (16.1 is my best 1/4 with a TPI 355 full of goodies) because of that junk computer.

You lucky dog, 5 speed, digital dash. I am waiting for one of those to come along as well. I would really like a maroon with dark gray cloth interior.

As far as the iroc goes
I plan on gutting the entire car, computer and all before I start the project. It would just be nice to drive it for more than two minutes before it dies so I can use it as reliable transportation for the time being.
