Hello everyone. It's been awhile, the past few years have been a roller coaster ride of life events. Including back surgery, shoulder surgery and two Cardiac Arrests that leave me with an internal defibrillator. Needless to say that I am lucky to be here.
My latest build of the Monte has mostly been on hold but I am back at it.
I've had to hire a weldo to finish the frame upgrades and rear frame notch. I also flew down a fabricator from MA to finish the welding for the twins.
For the past two months I have been finishing up with the work on the body which includes a complete rewire, installation of a Vintage Air system, and relocating the battery to the trunk and adding a Snow Brothers meth system with the tank in the trunk.
Because f physical limitations it is slow going but I hope to have the body on the frame within the next few weeks.
Things to get done;
Body on frame
Fuel system plumbing
intercooler and air evaporator mount
wire up the F.A.S.T. ECU and terminate all sensors.
Make arrangements and bring the car to the dyno shop for tuning.
I'm sure that I am missing something.
just remembered, I'll need a driveshaft capable of 1000HP. Any suggestions?
Fortunately, I only live about 40 minutes from Comp Cams and F.A.S.T. and I've been hooked up with the tuner that helped develop the F.A.S.T. system so I am optomistic that the tuner will do a great job.
Here are a couple of pictures of where I am at. I hope to get re-involved here now that I am up and around more.
