Re: My 1984 Monte SS build thread

Car is going to set nice! I also wanted to do air ride on my '86, but it was going to cost more for me than to justify an inch more drop. I also wanted to keep my front inner fenders, so Im as low as I can go. I love these cars low and they take on a whole new look lowered. Yours is going to look nice!

Thanks. It's not as low as the regal I built, but I'm happy with the stance on it, and I didn't have to notch for the tie rods, or the axle, or modify the control arms or exhaust. Which makes liking the way it sits so much better. I love the way engine compartments look with no inners or with trailer fenders so I'm ok with the factory ones gone.

Thanks. When my friend and I got the doors on we both stood back and said we loved how the black and white looked together and joked around about painting it like a cop car. I have a lot of time to figure out the final color.
I have about $1500 into the bag setup.

Got the rear all done today, custom upper cups, custom axle brackets, everything is all welded up and got the shocks in too.
Had a request for engine bay pics at drop so here are a few.
