[TPI Monte SS]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/01/88SS_profile_Mar07-1.jpg

Here's my '88 SS. I just installed tall lower balljoints and will take out the rear coil spring isolators this weekend so it'll look a bit lower than this pic. The Monte has Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs, and I also have B-body spindles up front with 12" rotors. It's got a Tuned-Port Injected 355 under the hood with a ZZ4 cam, 58cc World Products heads, SLP runners, 1.5 roller rockers, and a home-built cold-air intake. Exhaust is handled with Edelbrock TES headers (clears the mechanical clutch linkage) and a Hooker 2.5" cat-back. Trans is a rebuilt World Class T5 5-speed with a RAM clutch, backed up by a stock 10-bolt with OEM 3.73 gears and a Powertrax unit. The interior is in nice original shape, with nothing out of the ordinary except the boot and 5-speed stick with a cupholder in the center console. :)

CHROMAHOLIC, you know I love the old grocery getter..that's just tooooo sweet!

[Twentyover]

Hey Klaus-

Any pics or story on the dash? My opinion is the dash on the Chevys is, well, one of my least favorite features

Here's my 79 Malibu. It's a rolling project. I bought it when I was 15. I drove it to high school and since then it has had many motors and diffrent set ups. Currently it has a 406 w/ solid roller, t56, c5 brakes, ect.

I love it!

I love it!

Thanks! Here are a few more pictures. They are kind of dated but you get the idea. It now has Corbeau seats or I should say seat. I had to remove the passenger seat and put the factory bucket back in so that we can put my sons car seat in.

My future plans are to detune the motor and put some kind of aftermarket A/C in. But that will probably be next winter. This summer I just plan on autocrossing and driving it a little more this summer.(I am doing a few track days on my motorcycle:twothumbs so the car won't see much mods this summer)

That is a sweet ride man,what kind of harness's are those and how do you have them mounted???

[turboregal]

1985 T-type regal still needs dropped about 2 inches but it is getting close

They are mounted in the rear seat belt bolts. It's kind of a pain when my wife rides in the back with the baby but it works.

[jdsfastgn]

here are some pics of my GN. It has QA1 coilovers, bilstiens in the rear, hollow 36mm front sway bar, 1 3/4" rear bar, UMI tubular rear lower control arms, Howe longer lower ball joints, and 12" LS1 brakes. (it also has run 11.25 at 121 with a best mph of 124.)

Do you happen to have a pic of the seatbelt mount in the rear?
