monte0 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Little update, front suspension is together mostly. Only need to order the sway bar, links and front hubs. And yes I know I've got to clean the spindle and backing plate          Anyone know where to get hubs that are not crazy priced? Some of these aftermarket ones are crazy expensive!

monte0 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Would you guys trust this for a hub setup being aluminum? Makes me a little uneasy with the size of are cars.  http://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1970/brake-systems/disc-brakes/CH30250/    These are the Kore3 ones, much nicer but really expensive  http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10075  Is there any other alternatives?

footballubet Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Why are you looking at going with this style hub/rotors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte0 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thinking for swapping out a f-body 2001 style camaro brake setup complete onto the monte. But needs hubs in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte0 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Starting assembling my fuel tank assembly from Tanks.com    I had some issue's with the stock float that came in the kit. It didn't allow for full movement up and down so the gauge would have been off. So I used a float arm out of a spare pump assembly I had for my daily driver. Works good but still a tad short.      I still have to adjust it some and then trim the excess rod off. Here's the walbro pump assembly too, not a bad setup either.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte0 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 New steering wheel. Little better then the old Grant wheel! Like the wood grain matches the dash (don't mind the mess lol) Â Ordered four new wheels. Ended up going with Voxx Old school wheels. Got 4-17x8's with a 4.75 backspacing, hoping they fit good. Â Â And I also got all the brakes ordered for the front and rear. Went with 2001 F-Body 12" rotors all the way around. Fronts are on almost and rears are on there way. I've got to paint some of the brakets and such but going to be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
