Welcome to my Cardomain page. I finally decided to make a page here because some of my other web locations have proven to be less than reliable.

In any case, on this page, you'll find information and pictures of my IROC. How much you find will depend on how much time I have to update the site.

Absolutely everything on this car has been done by myself unless stated otherwise.

The paint and body work was done by my father and I (mostly my father - I was in college at the time). "Before" pictures are on page 6. It was very rough when I bought it back in 1998. The engine was built by my father and I. We had a local machine shop do the engine bore, install the freeze plugs and install the cam bearings. We did the rest.

This is pretty much how it looks right now.

Here's a picture of my car at a local cruise night from last year.

Here's the engine bay from the cruise night.

Here are some more pictures of my engine bay as I was installing the plenum and runners after polishing them:

Future plans (i.e. nothing is ever done):
-Finish the interior. It needs carpet, headliner, sail panels, door panels and sun visors.
-Finish the audio install. The eq's aren't installed yet. They're going in my back seat. The subs & amps are installed but the cosmetics haven't been done yet.
-Heads, cam, Stealth ram. The heads on the car suck, and are a very, very bad combination when matched with TPI and a mild cam.
