1985 Camaro IROC-Z BUILD #11. Interior and Mechanical work finished! Lokithor J400 Jump Starter

[@terryeustice5399]

With all the problems. This budget build is A-1 Thank you Lee. Great job explaining everything. 💯👊👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@keithroute8906]

This build has been a tough one with bad luck in the mix. That fire is a real bummer, I lit two cars on fire welding on them over the years, luckily I noticed one right away and the other one my neighbor just happened to stop by and yelled fire. Got that one out as well before things got bad. That generation of Camaros go for cheap here up north and most are rusted out bad. Good ones if you can find them also go fairly cheap. You are so correct, they are just not worth dumping a ton of money in. If you can keep the budget low on it, you still might make a couple bucks. If anybody can pull it off you can. You are amazing at budget builds.

You learn by doing, I'm betting you won't do another camaro again.😊 I also know you will do it right. 😊

[@RBTrujillo1]

You're tenacity to build this car as well your other projects always impresses me!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@gotrust4741]

Can’t wait to see it painted 😊

[@adriennefoley2906]

Just get it running and stopping and sell it to a kid with a dream to build it 🤩

[@clunkersandclassics]

I have to finish it for it to be worth anything.

Lee you could teach this: The Power Of Perseverance! & Doing Whatever You Can To Put Your Hotrod Back On The Road

[@dirtyjersey8562]

Damn Lee you’re a better man than me this was already a tough project but after the fire I would have ran it into the closest pond 😂

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

Nice Lee. Glad to see it coming along👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 glad to see you finally solved the problem with the brakes. Considering where it started this car is coming along nicely Lee 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@MikeyMack303]

It is so much better than it was.

[@kdog7617]

Good job on the 1985 IROC Z door panels and belt moldings master cylinder battery pack works good

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@jeffdickens7019]

You almost got her done. It's looking a lot better. When it's all done it's gonna look really good though You got to watch these old cars.They will get in your pocket take care

[@slyboogey6263]

Cool, glad you don't give up

[@markstangsn9518]

Maybe just some cheap Walmart black seat covers 👍🏻

[@ivanrufeo]

Nikki looks happy 🥰

[@chrissullivan1756]

I love the iroc’s i have a 1990 5 speed manual and a 1986 auto car i am gonna build and give too my girls

[@stevengonyaw1617]

Hang in there Lee ! Make her shinny and slick looking and ship it down the road before it drives you to the looney bin . 😜🤣

[@jimnuding4011]

That cars been fighting every step of the way. Glad to see you’re making progress.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@glenbo2464]

I would paint anything i could black on the inside and then throw some black seat covers and floor mats in it. It will make someone an affordable fun car.

[@williamlee8098]

It’s coming along Lee awesome

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@mikecore1637]

I would use the seat covers and just leave the pass bottom .It will still look better it free maybe shoot some red color on the bottom or do it later .After all the other adventures with that car ? Maybe it will be fun to drive ?

[@clunkersandclassics]

It would look worse with one missing. I'm about to test drive it.

[@frankgannon8907]

Great job the car looks great!!!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@robertrich9053]

I'll bet you can find the partial seat cover. I bought a bottom only for my Silverado. Perfect match.

[@clunkersandclassics]

only sold in pairs is all I can find.

[@robertrich9053]

Basic cabinet lock. Home Depot has them.

[@scottbaril8659]

Just use the 3 seat covers you have. At least 3 of the seats will look good, Maybe you can find something for a single seat. Which cover are you missing? I am pretty sure they sell driver side covers by themself. I'll check and get back to you

[@clunkersandclassics]

Only sold in pairs and trying to find the exact pattern to match would be impossible anyway.

[@wilenelson1810]

Awesome!🔥🛠🔩🔨🔧

[@mightyjoe618]

Good job Lee.

[@Ray-tf2fl]

I can't wait to see when it painted!!! It really MAKE her !!! Look good!! I can't believe they getting hundred dollars out of those Z28 emblems 🤬mine are missing and it looks like they will stay missing for that price lol!!! Hugs to Nikki 💞👍🏻✌🏻 brother

Thanks, Welcome aboard!

[@MrMurraypants]

So I had to ask today, did you see what Puddin just purchased? It's damn near the same van you bought. Crazy, right?!

[@clunkersandclassics]

I just saw it. I get a wagon, he gets a wagon. I get an el camino, he gets an el camino. I get a Silverado, he gets a Silverado. And now a van. I suppose he'll get a Camaro next..lol

[@jimcrowell5093]

I can appriciate the budget build but if you have an original I-ROC in decent condition non restored they fetch a fair price only having 3k or so you could stand to fatten the purse a bit👍

[@ClassicRideSociety]

3rd gen fbodys will nickle and dime you to 💀. I got an 89 Formula. I need to get up your way for possible 70 b body Pontiac parts

[@clunkersandclassics]

Yes, anytime.

[@Bsgotgame]

Nice!!!❤

[@joelowery7300]

Check out what Puddins fad shop just picked up on his second channel.

[@clunkersandclassics]

I saw. He's a Copycat..lol

[@listenerjim]

Rock auto has a black ABS headliner pretty cheap $150.00 uncovered.

[@clunkersandclassics]

plus $163.99 shipping for a total of $322.32. Out of the question.

[@listenerjim]

@@clunkersandclassics sorry Lee I didn’t remember the shipping being that much when I bought mine, but like everything the price has went up.

[@murvisstribling4035]

Mr Lee ten years ago for my 76stingray door panel over 300$ a piece dash board 369$ i know how you fill sir

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

There's one 1988 Chevrolet Camaro at Maple Motors for $12,900 now, and it's a standard one, not an IROC-Z. Nice shape, but not perfect. An IROC-Z should be worth 16-20.000$ Non considering your precious labor, maybe at least 6-7000$ could be spent on your restoration?

[@clunkersandclassics]

I saw. A bit overpriced from what they usually sell them for.

[@rickkimble8634]

Those lock switches are dirt cheap on rock auto

[@weshenry9592]

I like your budget builds but I think this one is out of your reach, it's going to be pretty janky I'm not sure what to think.

[@scotttravels517]

Why don’t you paint all plastic parts the same red it very common

[@clunkersandclassics]

matching would be a problem

[@rickypevey7751]

Hate the bad luck you’ve had on that car

[@deejay2299]

Paint it black

[@clunkersandclassics]

it's going red

[@MichaelDaponte-fy9ji]

25hundered dollar car all day

[@phillipbremer7715]

Quite bittersweet indeed for finsh get just rewarded either it’s what it’s junk gm classic is what is

[@nickenglezos687]

Get the important things done first. should of fiberglassed the rust spot.any swap meets?around you people have interiors for these trust me i see them..peace...

[@clunkersandclassics]

no swap meets around and I'm not going to waste time travelling for a few pieces

[@mariocooldude9092]

These cars are fun but restoring them is killer expensive....I'm redoing my old '85 Vette ... carpet is $600...dash pad is $600!!! need all new plastic dash panels as they're all cracked again after replacing years ago $100 each on average..the build quality was shit 😢 and plastic ain't cheap and parts that aren't made anymore used sellers on eBay rape you for those 😢

[@clunkersandclassics]

I know what you mean, I have an 85 Vette as well.

[@mariocooldude9092]

@@clunkersandclassics $80 for the fog light switch USED!!! 😭

[@dizbiz88]

Don't take this the wrong way...I like all the projects you do. But, you don't seem into this one and it's just going to be a half ass build.

[@blevins6584mopar]

So true 😞

[@phillipbremer7715]

It’s feeling plastic trim rather leather and got blankets got pay haul that around no not me strip it down nothing keep simple homemade door panels or door card recover everything

[@blevins6584mopar]

Debbie Downer on this build 😞 Once you found realized it's worth you've pretty much seem defeated 🥵 c'mon man ‼️
