86 Monte Carlo SS

After joining TW, every time I try to get into another forum I just cant do it. All the other forums just lack something that TW has! So I decided to post this car up here because I really enjoy it and have no where to show my build!

So far I do not have much to show since I just got the car, but this is what it is.

The car as 117,xxx on the body and about 15,xxx on the motor. I purchased it in Mass on 4/15/12 for $3500 and have been toying with it since!


350 Chevy SB V8
Edlebrock 650 carb
Hooker Headers
True Duals- Flowmaster 50's
200-R4 tranny
3.73 rear end



The huge cowl is not my taste, but it will stay for now. I like cowl hoods, but smaller. A 2.5'' or 3'' is what I am going for.

Front quarter pannel has been primered due to past damage. Rear wheel wells and doors need some minor work as well. Structurally it is a solid car though.


My Dad's 1963 Ford Thunderbird up top and my Monte underneath!

4/12/12: Washed and waxed.





Ill update when I have more photos and changes done to it.

 

Looks good man! i like the color and it looks pretty clean from what i can tell!

 

Thanks, yeah its really not to bad. besides the wheel wells and under the doors it looks great. Even then though driving down the street you would never notice any major body damage.

The first day I got it there was a ton of junky stickers on it, and really crappy tints that I pulled off. The stripes on the sides are now removed as well. I think it looks cleaner that way.

 

That is a nice car man, looks like a lot of fun.

 

Thanks man. Yeah i really love driving this car. Its not registered yet so I dont get to take it far, but it is a lot of fun. It just has a good ride and a good amount of power.

 

Yeah they are sweet cars. There's a guy that works down the road from where I do and he has an all blacked out one and every time he leaves he smokes the tires haha

 

Nice G body. There's only one thing to do with a cowl that tall: Make a reason to have a cowl that tall.

 

haha yupppp, that is me as well. hopefully it will get old and ill stop doing it so often haha

 

i reallly like that idea! haha
