Bruce.

That is the Gardner Exhaust. Eric Gardner hooked me up. She is all stock except for the 4 speed that I'm putting in it. All GM stuff no aftermarket if I can help it. I kept all the auto stuff so when my Son inherits this car he can put it back if he wants but right now this is how I want it.

Gonna get the front suspension installed this weekend. Trans should be back in two weeks and motor back from rebuilder by the end of the month. Should have the rest of the body work done by August and then out for paint. Can't wait to see it in Classis Copper. Should make next season.

Thanks Joe

Not much tonight but I got the rear in

[71 SS]

I got the rear back today from being rebuilt and powder coated. Not sure about what color to paint the rear cover but assembly starts this week

[71 SS]

A little more progress

[Monte 4 speed]

My car use to be a turbo 400 but now a 4 speed so probably why the cushions. I am going with a Hurst shifter with a Muncie stick so not concerned about the Muncie shift bracing bolting up to my crossmember

[Monte 4 speed]

Thanks guys. Info is very helpful. I have the cushion style cross member

[Posting pics for Joseph]

That is a beautiful Monte! Lots of luck with it Joseph

[Monte 4 speed]

I don't have the trans yet so when you get to your car if you could shoot me some info that would be great. I just had the frame painted so I would like to install the bolts once and in the proper hole

[Monte 4 speed]

Can someone tell me what bolt holes in the frame for a M21 cross member.

Thanks Joe Bobowski

Thanks Dan. Just cleaning up the passenger side spindle before blasting and found some paint markings. Hard to see in photo but purple in the middle and on the lower ball joint and white slash on the upper ball joint

As you guys can see I need help with these pictures. I am not that great with a computer as you can tell. Someone must be able to help me right side up these pictures. Its very frustrating to the point where I really dont want to post anymore pictures if this is how they are gonna come out. Anybody with a little help?

Thanks Joe

[71 SS]

Thanks Rob. More to come. Working on the painting of the front suspension parts this week. Should have them installed with pictures by next weekend. Rear should be done for next weekend as well and I think the engine rebuilder is taking the motor by the end of the month. Gonna get this baby ready for next season. It has been on hold way too long

[71 SS]

I have no idea why the pictures are posting on their side. That's not how they are in my gallery. Sorry guys. Maybe someone can tell me why.

Thanks Joe

[71 SS]

Here are a couple more

[71 SS]

Started running the plumbing today. I never like the way the reproduction clips don't match the originals so I cleaned up the originals and resprayed them the factory colors that they were and installed new bolts.

[71 SS]

Sorry about the pictures being turned. I don't know how to fix them. They are right side up on my phone

[71 SS]

Can't wait to get motor and transmission done and fire it. Hopefully the end of April for a running chassis

[71 SS]

I got impatient so I started hanging the Gardner Exhaust

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Looks Great Paul!
