BUILD THREAD '88 Monte Carlo SS w/ LY6 6.0 swap

Great build up for sure. Any updates before the fall/winter season settles in?

Couple of incremental additions to the interior.
-New shifter plate modified to fit the Lokar shifter, along with leather shift boot as well.
- I'm really trying to stay as 80's as possible so I added a Retrosound stereo to replace the factory stereo that was starting to act up.
- Found an Ebay 3D printed blank for the HVAC controls and added the fan override switch. Had to find something since I had ripped out all the HVAC after getting a carried away on a mission to rid the Monte of all the 80's smog wiring.

Headliner was shot from sitting all these years so I pulled it and found some headliner material and a local guy to redo it for me. Added some Dynamat while I was at it.

Then I took it for a rip and bagged it up for the winter

Arlington... is your part still Crook County or Lake ?
Much nicer than my hood. Lol

In Crook. Yeah, love Chicago but it's a bit iffy in parts nowadays. Last generation of the Family came from the city and didn't go back 🤣

When I roamed the streets of the city, the murder rate was triple what it is now. But it's still a sheeit hole. Nice architecture though
