71 Monte Carlo #blackplague

[looter]

needed to vent some pictures of my build to maybe motivate me to keep grinding and finish this piece.
its been a bit of a long road and its getting closer o the end.








for some reason a bunch of others didn't upload automatically to photobucket.
Anyways, I feel like I'm inching closer to a start up.

Thanks Dave,
The dollar ****ting the bed hasn't helped the project much, but I'm still making progress.
Thanks for the motivation

Cool build Warren. With the long nose on the Monte Carlo, you have room for 6 turbos...LOL

Why not run a Holley Hi-Ram intake?

I started off looking at the high rams, but I seen a couple cars with the super victors on them and I thought the look was a bit unique, so I leaned that way.
ya, I'm blessed with an engine compartment the f-body guys would kill for.

Great to see another first Gen Monte getting built. I'm slowly plugging away on my 70.

what are the specs on the wheels and tires. What spacers where used?

[FLYNAVY53]

Love the look! Those wheels are C6 Z06 replicas if Im not mistaken?

they sure are. the rears are OE and the fronts are replicas.

I know I wrote it down somewhere, but I cant recall exactly which billet spacers I Used.
I want to say 1 inch in the front and 2 in the rear, but that's a ballpark guess.
front tires are 275/35/19
rear are 345/30/19
I did notch the frame for the rears to fit within the body and without touching the wheel well lip.

What's the true status? To me it looks like you have all the big dollar items and all that's left is labor. Dial it in this summer and paint it next winter.

that's pretty much exactly it. It's a lot of sweat equity left and the small dollar stuff that adds up, but all of the major components are done finally after my billet torque came in this week.

the paint is eastwoods spray wrap. Like alocker said, the mechanical part is the hurdle and the cosmetics will be later.

Thanks for the info on the wheels. Are you on fgmcc? I thought I've seen the pic of your frame and kid before.
