Austin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 i bought my airshocks from summitt and race springs too. it took me a wile to find the tools and pb blast everything but after a little wile and new bolts i got em on and i love em but it does have the iroc rims on which look better than those centerlines i hate which im gonna end up selling. but the centerline Telstars are coming very very soon ^^and i need to take the rear exhaust and tips off since theirs no exhaust running through them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudax Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Looking good Austin! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks mike. I like em and the werent that hard to put on aside from having to cut all the 41 year old bolts and jegs being closed because a train derailed and part of it exploded off 11th. And then summitt sent me the wrong shocks not once but twice so the car sat in the air for three days haha but I got em on and the new wheels should go on tomorrow.

Mr70Monte Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 did this all take place last week, when you supposedly raced it & blew up the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah i pulled em off the afternoon after, the same day we pulled the motor(July 14th) then the car sat in the air with no shocks until July 17th, then the shocks were put on, then July 18th we sat the motor in, shut the hood and i snapped this pic, then the next day we did all the misc engine work and got it to start. I wasnt even going to change the shocks yet but my friend dropped my distributor and broke the cap, so I decided to order the cap and shocks at the same time, but the mallory cap they sent me was right but the shocks were not right, so I had to send them back. and they didnt come until July 17th. But im not going to talk about racing anymore on this thread, im done with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Whys it seem like your trying to pick on me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mcarlo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hey Austin, No one is picking on you - everyone here loves photos, and it's a good-natured "informal rule" that when upgrades are made to a member's car, or if something else good (or bad) occurs, photos are posted as well. Often, one can learn from or get ideas for his/her own car from a photo or series of photos. I know I have. As they say, "one picture is worth 1000 words." So don't take it personally - I think just about everyone here has had "no pictures, didn't happen" directed at them as well at one time or another.

Austin Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Haha alright bob sounds good, I did get the wheels changed last night so I'll post a pic of them in a little. I'll go out and try to snap the pic of the motor before I go to work and hopefully get it up. And the old motor is in my friends garage still as far as I know so I'll go over after I get off and get a pic of the block. Sound good?

black07ss Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I like the wheels!! They ROCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Why did you go through the trouble of installing the new engine, before you did the upgrades to it. Now its gotta come back out, lot of work to just be in the car a couple of weeks. Good luck with it though, so is this a 350 that you are stroking with the 400 crank?

Austin Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 thank jared, and yeah the little 350 should be quick once its done. and the reason I put the new motor in it is because after i blew it up i got around 30 calls/texts from people talking crap cause they heard about it so i had to show em its alive again, since alot of people around here hate me for leaving the camaro scene and going to the first gen monte even tho I love the car. but yeah the 350 is going to become a stroker, after were done building the 406 for the 73Z the 350 i getting bored either .40 over or .60 over, havent decided yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 and yes I do plan to put all the side chrome/molding back on the car. I think it'll make it look better. And thanks Andreas its coming together slowly but surley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
