I have tried to come up with a name for my Monte without any luck. So I am hoping you guys can come up with some good suggestions.
The quick story on the car that might help with the naming.
I saw the car for the first time at the Corvette Nationals at IRP in Indianapolis. It had a funny paint scheme, a 383 in it, skinny tires up front, something like 255 out back, interior dash parts painted white. Then a few months later a coworker said there was a Monte in his hometown that is setting at a bank that is for sale. So I went and looked at it & it was this same one. 4 spare tires, engine, tranny, radio all gone. It was cheap enough to not buy. So I did & started looking for the LT1/T56.
So the skinny tires & 15" dia wheels are gone & in place went wide meats with 17" dia rims, big brakes, a 95 LT1 & T56 went in. And strangely enough while it sat in the garage the paint scheme started to grow on me (still I wouldnt have picked it). I replaced the interior parts that were painted white & made it look stock. And I replaced the flat hood with a cowl one painted a solid wine color to match the front end.
Now I am thinking I want to get an L92 from DaytonayellaZ & replace the LT1/T56 in it with an L92/T56 combo.
Any ideas for a project name?
