You aren't missing out on anything but aggravation by not having a turbo.

Looks good, but dumb question. Didn't 87 have the more aero style mirrors. Or don't you like those?

Like these:

Or were they different than what was on the Monte?

Looks like he has the right mirrors on the car. They are really small and don't provide a real good field of view behind you. I think you Monte SS guys got the better mirrors.

Yes, those are the correct mirrors, the montes got a little different mirror than the regals did.

Sweet project and welcome. I think that car is begging for some bigger meats in back though.

Yes I am looking at bigger tires, this was a preliminary setup. Im about to have the frame notched in the back to allow for the wheel backspacing I want to run.
