GBOTM: February '13 Entries Thread

[85Supreme]

The topic for GBOTM this month is Pro-Touring gbodys (selected by Undercover87T)

pro-touring wheels, upgraded brakes, big sway bars, lowered, and built to carve corners

Post up info about your setup when you upload your pics


Here's a teaser 😛

Thanks-Mike

It would be cool to see the manufacturer test cars enter. Off the top of my head, the UMI Monte Carlo, the Schwartz Chassis Monte SS, the Detroit Speed Buick, and anything BMR and SC&C have.

The supporting vendors would definitely be welcome to enter their test cars as long as they fit the bill as a pro touring car.

Well i'll throw mine in, it leans more toward poor-touring though.
1981 Malibu
Supercharged 350-Edelbrock Heads, Lunati cam, Stock bottom end.
700r4 from Bowtieoverdrives, 2200-2400 Stall.
7.5 rear-Factry posi, 3.73 gears.
16 Gallon fuel cell-1/2" aluminum line-3/8 return line. Holley Blue pump, Mallory return style regulator. Car has been lowered, not sure how much(I cut the springs). 36mm f-body sway bar added. No bar in the rear yet, waiting to see what rear end I end up using first. I have the 98+ Blazer brake set up(not installed yet). Coy's C5 wheels, 18x9.5 in rear, 17x8 in front. Made a custom ram-air hood for it. Used a console from a 3rd gen f-body. Painted it myself(black with a purple pearl) in my driveway, lol. Made a custom grille for it. VDO gauges in a homemade panel. Sequential LED tailights, HID's, why not. Probably some other stuff i'm forgetting. Plenty more stuff to do as funds allow.

looking mint man! any new updates since you painted it?

 

[jrm81bu]

Thanks! Nope, no real updates. Drove it on and off all summer. Put a Summit triple pass radiator in it, but that's about it. Just had a 6.0 for it slip through my fingers. Would have cost me 400 bucks and a cam to get a complete 6.0 with all accesories and a 2wd 4l80e.
