Nice! I had a gray one untill some nit-wit ran a traffic light. Opened the pass. T-Top up 3/4 inch when she hit the driver's side!
Looks good, what are your plans?
Shiny Side Up!

Nice Olds and nice to have you join us.
Thanks for the warm welcome. And thank you for the compliments. My plans as of now are to do some suspension upgrades lower the car a bit, paint, and interior also I would like to throw a new motor in there I am having a machine shop build a 500 horse streetable 350 rocket for it this winter. I have been trying to figure out if I want to do 17 or 18 inch rims and how wide I wana go in the back im thinking 8'' in the front. for rims im thinking american racing hopsters. I am a 3rd gen camaro freak and would love to incorperate some stuff reminicent of them. I have also modified and installed a monte carlo SS spoiler on the 442 just to give it a bit more agressive and individual look.
mcssGmachine I love your back rims what size backpacing ect are they? are you minitubed? how much did you lower the car?

is your frame notched?
No the frame is not notched. The wheel is actually 10.3" wide from lip to lip and that's about as wide as you can go.

Nice shot of your car!!!
She looks clean & mean!!!:headbang:
I agree that is a beautiful shot of your monte. makes me wish I had a monte SS instead of a 442 :) would it be against the rules to have all the g body people post up their best pic of their car on this thread just for chits n giggles?
