a monte carlo is a gbody tho... js



because 15s are what the car was originally equipped with

you kids are down syndrome

This will be a 600 hp street/strip car 800 hp on the juice lol... will have some et streets on the back.



Update:

Built the rear end (ford 9" brand new from quickperformance) - 1,900$

New 700r4 finished and paid for - 1,060$

now just gotta put the tranny in the car and do the little bit of fab work it needs on the cross member, set up all the lines and cables and shes driving again

Next stop after tranny is done will be the paint shop, going to paint it pearl white with a blue tinge




Update :

Cars at the tranny shop gettin the new 700r4 put in (unfortunately I need this car to progress and i broke my collar bone so I can't do a tranny atm)

So hopefully steve will have the car done in the next couple of days and I can get the measurements for the drive shaft and have it cut and balanced by my buddy at roehrs machine shop

ordered some new seals for the windows and doors, aswell I picked up a new set of SS tail lights and a SS bumper both in great condition from the junk yard.


Local car audio shop has decided that they will sponsor the car once I get alittle further down the line, that means no more l7 12s hello 4 15" Phoenix golds B)

Going to be extensively done on the music, fiberglass back wall in the back seat, blowthrough box ect ect ect

This project is looking very very promising so far.

I mean if someone wants to give you 4 grand in fiberglass work (thats what they would normally charge for the job) and probably 5grand in speakers would you say no?


Idk its not set in stone either but we discussed it and he was on board .

Though I did consider asking him for a nice leather interior :drool:

lol..pheonix gold is shit and those prices are absurd.

maybe in a couple more years aampofamerica can get its shit together with them but as they are you shouldn't waste your time.

doesn't matter, I won't be paying for any of it.

I could probably get him to do two jl w7 13.5s tbh but most of his shop cars have the phoenix gold.

they don't have anything worth buying currently.

aampofamerica has had that brand name since 09 and they haven't did shit worthwhile. you even have a hard time finding their crap on auction sites or anywhere online for that matter.
