CruizinKev´s 1979 Monte Carlo

[Romaniac]

thx

I think I found my seats: Procar Rally Seats
They'll look awesome with the 59/60 Impala dash and steering wheel.

did you en up buying these seats? And if so did you pay retail? Summit is selling the pair for almost 1000 bucks :shock:

I've been waiting for this thread to take back off.. i'm glad your still getting to things when you can. the 3rd gens are starting to take off on this forum.

 

[CruizinKev]

thanks!

A few pics of buddy's garage progess.. I'll move in there asap then we FINALLY start to cut & weld the body and get it prepared for paint.

man I can't wait to get it finished and move in there!!

and here pics of today's work.

already saving money for this. Quick Performance Ford 9" 8) but still don't know what gear ratio I want.. 3.55 or 3.73?

Lookin' good! Can't go wrong with a Qp Rear. I have one in my wagon. If it were me and I had overdrive I would go with the 3:73. I do not have overdrive and I went with 3:25. You can order in custom width for the same price and eliminate the wheel spacers as well.

Garage looks nice! I've been to Europe once (Rome, Italy) and that's what I noticed most about construction of buildings over there. You guys build stuff to last forever! In the U.S. almost everything is "stick" built. We use a lot more wood. What are those block made of?

 

[CruizinKev]

thanks! these are stone blocks/bricks :wink:

 

[procircuit]
