Just wondering what everone does after pulling off door panels and the insulation (the gray wool looking stuff) and the wax paper is pretty shot. I was just going to put Dynamat on the door but unsure if this is the right thing to do. Any suggestions would be of great help.

Well got the car back from the paint and body..looks great..I had SS stripes added in pearl and the Monte SS on doors and trunk lid all done in pearl ghosted in. Also added a cowl induction hood. Looks smooth the way we like it. Also I removed the window tint and had it redone..no more purple...

I purchased 2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs..what recommendations do you guys have for rear shocks? Also I seen this posted somewhere..what keeps the rear spring in location when car is jacked up? Since it's shorter will it just fall out?

Re: Is there a issue with S10 spindles vs. ones made for a G Call me dumb but what is the ackermann angle?

Just ordered my rear drop springs and looking to order my front drop spindles. I read on some post there is no difference between S10 spindles and Monte(Gbody) spindles. I looked at Chassis Tech and they have 2 different part #'s for S10 and Gbody with about $100 difference in the pair. Can...

Hey great to see another buckeye! I'm from Fairborn..small town outside of Dayton..Nice Monte..

Thought I would start a build thread on our 85SS. It was my Father in laws car before he passed a few months back and I want to make sure and do him proud on it..Starting out it's a pretty clean SS with a 355 in it..I have a book with all the spec's and parts in the motor that I have not had a...

Dropping the car off Saturday to have some door dings, scratches fixed and have car repainted. Going to be gone for about 3-4 weeks I figure..I am wanting to purchase all of my drop parts while it's gone. It seems there is a 1000 different ways to get these things on the ground but I want...

Thanks for the info crotchss..I thought anything over 4.5" back space would rub in the back? Did you modify anything to get them to fit?

What size rim and offset are you running?

I think I have decided what I would like to do to get started...I am thinking 2" (drop spindle) up front and want to drop the rear as well..would like a hint of rake on the car. 17" wheels(billet unsure of style). What size tires would fit ballpark?

I am suppose to take the 85 Monte to the painter next week and drop off. But after looking at a lot of Monte's with cowl hoods I think I would really like to have a cowl hood myself. After looking around a bit seems like lots of choices. What hood would everyone recommend? I would like a...

Finally able to post a pic :D

Thanks for the info on the rear suspension..I have not even crawled under yet..my son and I are very excited on getting started. We changed all the fluids and did a little tune up before the real cold stuff set in. We got about 5" of snow last evening so it may be a bit before we pull it out...

I recently inherited my Father in laws 85 Monte Carlo. He was unable to finish it before he got sick and passed. I have made it a mission of mine to complete the car as he would have liked and give to my wife. I am wanting to drop it 2" ( I assume spindles in front and blocks in back) I have...
