Monte Updates - Latest Pics

[Tony_SS]

Finally got around to taking pics of the new setup/look.

This is with the upper and lower control arms, 3"/2" OPG drop springs, 285/40 and 245/45 Nitto 555 tires, LS1 brakes and new lower chin spoiler. Up next further tweaks on the UCA's to tweak the alignment and a fast ratio steering box, but here's how she sits so far:

For some reason, I've always thought maroon was "THE" color for 78-88" Montes. That car is gorgeous Tony...wheels look killer!

Thanks Ben. I'm really happy with how the color came out. It's an 06 Mazda 'copper red'. In the direct sun the copper really comes out. Part of me still misses the factory 79 Pea Green though.

I think I'm also going to swap that gaudy trunk swivel lock for a subtle spoiler, being as how the value of the lock would pay for it. :razz:

My long term goal is still to manage an LSx swap... someday.

The camera is just a cheapie Sony 4mp Cybershot.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
