In addition to the wheels. Before paint an A/C and stereo installation has to happen..
Added front sway bar, Hellwig, 1 5/16ths, P/N 5703 (stock one was removed for drag racing)
Fit, form, and function Radio replacement (Nice) https://www.classiccarstereos.com/1970-1972-monte-carlo-jl-audio-stereo-kit.html
Fit, form, and function replacement (R134A) AC kit for 70-72 monte (kit Instructions are world class, what an installation guide) https://www.vintageautoairconditioning.com/montecarlo
