What kind of motor and trans are you thinking about putting in it? Is that 12 bolt stock measurements or are you going to mini tub it? Looks pretty cool in the front being that low. Those wheels look awesome on third Gen Monte's . Are you going to leave it white or paint it another color? :? :?: :D
