1985 Monte Carlo SS from the ground up.....

Definitely a good looking Nova, looking forward to the Monte

Picked up 88 Monte rear bumper cover/egg crate/housings/taillights.. much better look than the 85 Monte ones..

Did a quick mock up.. driver side lower 1/4 panel has been pushed in .. probably from a little bump.. so have to get that fixed so the bumper can line up right..

Been awhile since I did anything to the Monte.. With what’s been going on I had some time off.. planned on doing some things in the winter, but’s it’s too dam cold..
I finished fixing the lower 1/4 panel because it was pushed in and not lining up with the bumper..

There off a 5th gen CamaroSS(20”).. I needed something to fit the 14” brakes so I can roll the car around.. paid $100 locally which is very cheap. They are growing on me a bit.. in the end I would like little smaller like 18”..

Little more

After searching this site on a booster/MC I ended up getting a stock Monte Carlo ss dual diaphragm booster.. A master cylinder from a early 90’s caprice.
