[randywyatt2000]

that looks very nice i like those rims you picked out and the ls1 aswell

A fat fendered 79 Monte with an LS1 and T56 in GERMANY? Hell yeah! That'll get some looks tooling around town.

Kevin - Your making some really nice progress and I love the daily driver too - the dark shadow gray is one of my favorite ford colors!

Guys what do you think about seats like that in my 79 monte?



Please note I have a 59/60 Impala dash to go in - just kinda like that:

Great progress pics. I like those seats alot. Thats gonna be a sweet monte when finished. Keep up the good work.

Those seats look great. What brand are they? The Impala dash is going to look killer.

[CruizinKev]

thx guys!

I found the seats at a german online shop 'sitz24.com's "Blade" leatherseat'.

[78 Type-LT]

I love that body style...

[CruizinKev]

thx! I think I'll go with a more retro/classic look for the interior. Speaking of - what do you think about a 59/60 impala steering wheel? I found a smaller aftermarket look-a-like in 15" diameter:

but I don't know if that steering wheel would bolt on my 79 monte steering column...?

[jackfrost]

man that looks too familiar.

nice progress

[topher455]

I like that bodystyle. Never really noticed how cool it was until I saw the one in "training day" except I hated the little wire wheels.

[CruizinKev]

thx guys!

I think I found my seats: Procar Rally Seats
They'll look awesome with the 59/60 Impala dash and steering wheel.

[68400BIRD]

I have those exact seats sitting in my basement waiting to be installed. They are very supportive and do not have that race look to them.

[CruizinKev]

sweet! yeah thats what I wanted. a clean classic look but modern performance

[topher455]

Cool. But too hot for Florida LOL.

[youngdeezy]

[neki67]

I believe Kevin is enjoying his holiday with his GF in the USA right now.

[CruizinKev]

I'll get the LS1 in few weeks still looking for a T56..
