That looks great! Thats the first milestones of many, but in my opinion it's the most stressful of all the milestones to follow! Keep us updated on your progress, things move quickly after this part usually.....

Ive gone forward with some of my plans for the interior of the garage, I've built a steel frame table, hung some gloss white cabinets for items which I'd rather not become very dusty, added an ikea kitchen cabinet for an industrial sink and computer desk I will later skin the steel frame table...

heyyyy Remember meee??? :) Greetings from Iceland Remember my workshop? yea I sold it and moved out of it at the end of last month. I bought a house outside of the city with a huge lot and two story 1100sq ft garage, my workshop was around 1500sq ft so it's not bad for a home garage! some...

I've sold the Monte Carlo ! This has been a fantastic time, many things I have learned along the way. I've got to know a lot of great people which are now personal friends on the Facebook. I will continue to follow your work, the new owner is aware of this build thread and may or may not...

Thank you all, as well, very kindly! I have sought much information from the helpful bunch of members from this forum! Before getting this car, I couldn't even tell a monte carlo from a malibu etc.. but now consider myself pretty knowledgable about them, this is much thanks to your support...

Cruising at 90kph ~55mph with 2300 RPM, very reasonable in my opinion, responsive (for a stock 350) and shifting is now much more solid feeling. The locker works fantastic both on tarmac and dirt but the locking is not noticable at all going through roundabouts, tight parking spots etc. Only...

Even the speedometer is now working, and correct! The car will soon be mint :)

So I tore the axle from undernath the thing Everything is smashed to bits, been doing too many 1 wheel peels apparently... This one doesn't like 1 wheel peels :) And this one doesn't either.. This eliminates 1 wheel peels :) This eliminates wheel hooping These have definately served their...

Thanks for your reply, I have no specific reason for a truetrac over anything else, however I have good experience with them. I had them in my 1991 46" tire ford explorer with a turbo diesel and the locker held up perfectly, the disc type LSD locks have always been feared where I come from, as...

Today I tackled the non-working speedo... the verdict, someone never installed a driven gear when the 350 was put in there... duhh So then before purchasing a driven gear I must decide on a differential ratio, so first of all, count the one I already have... it's a 2.41:1 ! That's a technical...

Thanks for your interest and kind words, I will continue this project for as long as I have spark. I am wise enough to let go of a project instead of letting it sit, so there may be a new owner if I get bored with it.

Some more progress, as I had no recommendations for a tachometer suitable for the dash (except those found used for 120 bucks or new for roughly 400) I decided to go my own route, and I have to brag that I'm quite happy with the result, however it may annoy the purists, but that's not what this...

sandable primer is on, the doors are now completely straight, however there are still minor details that need work which didn't show until the primer was on :) It's coming soon!!

Finally I have resumed work on the monte carlo, the sun is high and spirits too! Some dirt from the fuel tank is entering the fuel filter which caused stalling under full throttle a few times, I cleaned it out (it's a filter which I can disassemble and blow air through the copper element) I've...

But am I correct in assuming they all fit? Or am I looking at buying only ones coming off a later era Monte Carlo'es?
