Skoons Hot Rods is a performance shop specializing in C5 Corvette based IRS conversions. Restorations, Resto-mods and Pro-touring vehicles all welcome!

Whether its a '64 Chevelle, '69 Camaro, 67-72 C10's or 3rd and 4th Gen Camaros, we work on them all!

The bottom of the C5/10 is finished! Our first time ever putting Raptor Lining on the bottom of a cab, and it turned out pretty decent. It definitely would have been easier if the cab was vertical or on a rotisserie, but we're still happy with the results.

Hopefully the cab goes back on the chassis this week for the final time. C10 Revival timeline is getting short!!!

More UMI Performance Inc. parts coming to a 4th gen near us!

Road race K-member, boxed arms and adjustable upper mounts!

Huge progress on the C5/10 project! The firewall and bottom of the cab are in primer and the chassis is as assembled as it can get until the cab goes back on! We're trying to have it driveable and shake down ready by the and then the North Carolina Autocross Championship. Next up is a black base coat before Raptor Lining over the firewall and bottom of the cab.

We're excited to say that the 2nd gen is complete (at least the work that we are doing). The IRS kit we use in 3rd and 4th Gen Camaros fit after a bunch of cutting and some bespoke chassis mounts. The owner requested it to be LOW, and I think we nailed it!

The owner will take it from here and tie in the floor pans and cage to add some more structure to the chassis mounts. Hopefully we will see this car tearing up autocross courses in 2027!

The first ever C5 suspended car we built (which started all these C5 based shenanigans) is back for some fixes and updates. Can't wait to see this beauty back on the road again soon!

Another beautiful morning at UMI Motorsports Park . The air is full of hydrocarbons and sounds of power. If you're on site today, come chat with us if you're interested in 3rd and 4th Gen Camaro IRS kits and maybe even get a sneak peek of new parts coming to the market.

Making more progress on the 2nd gen IRS prototype. We have the subframe in place and top mounts fit in. They still need to be fully welded, then welded into the car. Hoping to have the front mounts fit in this weekend.

It's been a while since we've posted any updates on the C5/10, but we've been chipping away in the background. Everything is back from powder coat, the cam and heads are installed, the engine, trans, clutch, driveshaft, brake lines, chassis wiring, fuel system and battery/cables are back in for the last time! We started reinstalling the exhaust as well, but ran into a slight snag with the new Quicktime bell housing. We'll get that figured out and get back to finishing up the rolling chassis! We still need to prep and undercoat the bottom of the cab before reinstall.

Another 3rd/4th Gen Camaro IRS kit headed out today!

This customer also ordered our custom Driveshaft Shop, 1000hp axles! These axles mate the 5th Gen Camaro diff to active C6 hubs so you can add (or retain) the MK60 or Delta ABS in your car.

06/16/2026

4 more kits off to powdercoat!

These kits will allow you to install independent rear suspension in 3rd Gen and 4th Gen Camaros, using C5 control arms, spindles and any C5/C6 compatible brakes you desire! They are designed to fit 5th Gen Camaro diffs which are known for their strength and availability! We offer axles that complete the installation, or you can source your own locally.
