Just signed up and I can tell that I will be enjoying this forum! I've already exchanged a couple of PMs with Larry and was most impressed with his attitude towards a new guy. When I'm ready for a project for a 1st and 2nd Gen F Body, this forum is where I'll start.
I recently finished restoring a 3rd Gen that I started a couple of years ago. It was my intention to build me a boulevard car to cruise on the weekends. Back in '85 I really wanted an IROC-Z but as a serviceman it wasn't in the cards. My buddy received a $13,000 bonus when he re-uped and bought a blue '86 IROC. I told him I'd get it one day and won't have to reinlist. 25 years later... I finally got one.
I have a couple of modified Corvettes that I use to scratch the 'go fast' itch, but I am now considering modding the IROC starting with brakes and suspension. I subscribe to 3rdgen.org but they are mostly younger guys not really into performance with the exception of a few. If any of you guys have advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few pics of my F Body:
