CruizinKev´s 1979 Monte Carlo

[CruizinKev]

okay its been long but I'm back into this project.

No progress yet but I'm looking to get a manual transmission for it. Looking for a T5 but VERY hard to find over here in Germany.

Anybody knows where I can find any T5s online (in US)? Or any thoughts about the 4 speed muncie? Found a few 4speeds on german market so I thought about these options. I can get them for cheap and later I can swap it for a T5 when I can find one.....

started collecting parts:

ordered www.gsi-interiorss.com clutch pedal. you see I decided to go the LS1 & M6 route 🙂

found some pretty cool door handles:

by pressing the button the handle will come out. handles came off a european small car: a fiat barchetta

found the sheet metal to weld them in:

pics of today's work!

me @ work

and here the look out to my daily car 😉

I pulled the engine few hours ago and I must say it was easy going for my first time doing that. next step is pull the chassis out the barn, finish the body dolly and roll the body further in the barn so I got more room to play 🙂 will look around for a sandblaster for my frame and so on...

That's a nice MC. I'm sure it will come out real good. Especially, since you are taking your time doing it.

today I finally finished work on the rolling body dolly.

weather is finally nice over here in Germany.

already started to rip off the old fuel and brake linkes and other parts..
