hmmmmm,did you have to do any drastic trimming on it to fit? im tossing arround the 04 mc and the 04 impala console in my 84. with the impala console i had to cut drasticaly to help fit,not so bad with the mc one......hmmmmm i just might 8)

Not really, I cut down the impala mounting bracket to mount the console in the back, then just spread the sides in the front. Start to finish I spent about 5 hours with remiving and reinstalling the front seats and clean up on it.

Thanks, I'm stoked to get it all done, but I keep adding more so I'm starting to wonder if ill have it out this year or not. I want to drive it but don't want to cut corners. The motor will be coming out maybe this weekend, I want to get that cleaned up and paint and the new parts on it, also can get the firewall better then too, also the frame will be easier to get paint on it and then ill powdercoat the suspension parts too. Going to start the inner fenders too this weekend. I just can't wait to see it all in sealer so it's one color.

Re: My 1984 Monte SS build thread

Pretty productive weekend on the car. Got the lower control arms on, notched for the tie rods, old exhaust off, new headers on, test fitted the inner fenders up front, and some more bodywork done. The engine crossmember lays hard now, gotta get the front shocks done next. Debating on trying to get another inch drop in the back, still want the rake, but would like a little less rake. The trans pan is about 1.5" from the ground now though.
