I took my car to a car show four miles from my house. The show was very well planned out for being a small one. I had the nicest g body there! Ok the only g body there.

The paint and body work on this car was amazing. I thought you people would like to see some pictures so there you go.

The Spindles are stock G-body modified for 12" brakes and reamed for Howe tall uppers that came with the SC&C phase 2 adjustable upper arms. Lowers Ball joins are proforged 1/2" taller. Sway bar is a 36mm WS6 3rd Gen. Springs are Moog 5662's cut about 1/2 coil. Shocks are Vari shock single adjustable. The LCA bushings are steel from UB machine and the urethane bumpstops were replaced with GM ZQ8 (P/N 15956547).

Steering Shaft is from borgsen and the box was just rebuilt by PSC Motorsports here in Ft Worth, TX. Wheels are 16X8 GTA Fronts or Rears either will fit and tires are 255/50's.
Re I have the stage2 uppers on mine and they rubbed the wheel when I turned. Did you have issues with that? I shimmed my UCAs down with the SPC shims. I am thinking about going with a shorter UBJ, maybe the stock +1", do you know which stud I should get? I was going to order from Summit as I have some more stuff to get from them.

Installed my PST 4" Aluminum driveshaft, new PG trans with a pro-brake, new SFI flex plate and a new billet yoke in the 9". All due to a driveline failure that took out all the preceding during a burnout.

Ugh the bitterness of poor quality lasts oh so much longer than the sweetness of the low price.

It is no show car, but too nice to say it is a driver. I think the condition is just right. I will not win any trophies. Thanks guys.

Looks like you got one here!:D:D

Damn that is one nice looking Monte Carlo!

Superdave I have to ask is your racing suit made from genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings?
