Rock

Did the SS Montes have the black along the rockers? Or is this something you are integrating into the build?

I think I will need to see this one In Person. Fantastic!!

Summit carries the 8" Ralleyes. I ordered mine with 4 1/2" backspacing.

Very nice...looks like you may need some plug heat socks......they look close to the headers.

And what color are you shooting?

That one again. Hard to see the green interior. I withdraw the monkey wrench!

New shoes for the rear and the rear were pushed to the front. Girls like new shoes!!! I think Rhonda is happy!

Just my opinion.....you don't need to do it all at once. I personally would go for the SS. You could accumulate the parts over time and make it what you want. You hold the key to what makes you happy. I know if I was putting out a chunk of money it would have to be something that puts a smile on my face.

If it was me.....I would look for a bucket seat parts car. Then part out what you don't need.

Get a good price on the grey SS? Looks like a good car.

yes

No material.

Oh.....change out the speedo if the drive indicators bother you up there also.

You will need the console,the shifter,the bucket seats and Stratos are high dollar even in bad condition. The steering column and add the bucket seat brackets to the floor and the wire harness for the console. I would say minimum of 2k. I have not done the conversion but others I believe have. I seen a set of stratos On eBay but needed to be refurbished for $500 I believe.

I don't even see the holes for the dash bezel. Are you adding the bezel or leaving black?

The after market UMI control arms have grease Zerks.....no more annoying squeak. If I was going to go through all the work to remove the originals and box them in then change bushings and put them back on, I personally would just buy after markets. They are not that expensive. UMI performance lower control arms were less tha $250. I am very happy with them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UMI-Performance-64-72-GM-A-Body-Boxed-Lower-Control-Arms-Chevelle-GTO-Lemans-BLK-/201507850067?hash=item2eeacdc753:g:u6gAAOSw5dNWn~wO&vxp=mtr

Took off the front tires to get a new set of shoes for the hopefully busy summer of cruising the metro.

Nice little recognition for the scrap book, how many copies did you buy? I thought it was cool to be featured in the OPGI web sight! This definetly tops my claim to fame.

I kinda like the black cherry look....maybe a more current shade. Grey and black Combo also looks really good.<wink>

I have no idea......pretty sure it has been through a few paint jobs but I would think I would see a sign of the original color somewhere. Even the tail light bezels are black cherry. I thought for sure the original color was black cherry. I actually thought about going back to origanal until things didn't match up to the tag. The title matches the VIN so I'm not to worried. The car is 47 years old!

You can see in the first pic the Black cherry paint under the trunk seal. I see no sign of misty turquoise.
