Mounted the street set up just to see what they look like. 245/50 on all 4 Nitto NT555r2 on the rear.

Thought this would be a cool look, Monte SS center cap decals on the GTA center caps!

A few updates. Had to reroute the exhaust to clear the 16x8 wheels since I built the exhaust around 17x4.5’s. The car is no up and running on a Holley base tune.

Took the Monte for a spin, just down the street. It drug the crossmember every bump and almost ripped the bumper off completely.

Removing the Moroso springs and installing Viking coil overs to lift the front back up. Interior is almost complete, almost ready to start with the paint and bodywork

Ditto, did you just use bulbs in stock locations?

No, I just used a LED kit that I got off Amazon, I cut off the cigarette plug and hardwired it to a switched source. I think the kit was like 17$.

Got ya, thats what I had to do as well since my door switch wasn't there so I wired the dome and my under lights together. But think it is actually failing at the moment and causing a draw so will be getting back into that at some point sooner than later
