What do you have in mind for mods? I'm a Toyota guy, but I have a soft spot for muscle cars old and new, actually I have respect for just about anything mod'd... correctly lol.

Nothing will change visually from the exterior. Mostly just mods to add to the performance. I plan on polishing the entire exhaust system and adding just a few bolt on mechanical mods. I won't be adding gaudy wings or any of that junk the younger generation seems to be into. It's in good hands trust me.vintage AE wrote:What do you have in mind for mods?

I've already ordered a set of Billet Specialties billet license plate frames and I'll be adding these items soon. Once I get in some more overtime at work I can also get a set of Granatelli drilled and slotted rotors. Stuff is expensive for this car so I'll be doing just a little at a time.
Hennessey SS shift knob to replace the bland stock one.

Hotchkis strut tower brace.

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
We did some more reassembly on the car this past weekend and as well as a little the weekend before.
We worked on installing the dash, wiring, gauges, windshield and external engine components. As for the open wiring goes, we plan on putting in some wiring loom once we get the motor running and everything working.
Gauges are the same configuration that we had in the car and the three lights above and to the right of each gauge are idiot lights for danger zones. Have to install the dial for the brake bias and figure out where to put the volt meter gauge.

Is that a Deans connector on the ignition box?

Well that has some extras on it, Hey Jake. Nice looking and more than useful when you need it. Very nice.

So I traded in my monte carlo and sold off my bike. Put it towards a new truck.

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
funny story about those keys. the monte carlo i had got recalled over that. Their fix was to drill a 6mm hole through the key, thats it.
in reality, i only have the fob on my key ring. having a big heavy key chain really isnt for me.

A couple of my Firebirds, lousy pics, but all I could find on this pc.
Don't have any of my GTO, it's been apart a long time, the birds both need some work, the Formula was my driver a few years ago.
Lost my desire to work on them, I think it is coming back!
