I'll try and make sure the entries thread stays a sticky.... @85Supreme you should have mod powers to stick/unstick threads in here, too... I think.
Mine started as an 83' Monte SC with the CL option, It came fully loaded and even has a dealer installed ASC power sunroof.
I took off the half vinyl and stripped the chrome off the car and put an aftermarket front nose conversion on and added a 88' SS rear bumper and taillights, I also added Lauren ground effects, rear deck spoiler and front spoiler extension.
I removed the gray interior with 60/40 seats and installed Cerullo buckets (camel color) on GM power units , I bought extra material to make the headliner and upper door panels front and rear, I also made the dash inserts for the gauges and modified a 78 Trans Am center console to fit.
I painted the dash and console with SEM Landau black and the rest of the interior plastics in camel.
I installed Autometer Ultralites and painted all the bezels on them black.
I built the 565 Big Block Chevy starting with a bare Merlin Race block and added a Callies crank, Eagle L19 H-beams and Wiseco 10.9 Forged piston, AFR CNC 335 heads and I port matched a Super Victor before installing the Quickfuel 1150 Dominator.I have a big solid roller and run all MSD ignition.
I used braided hoses exclusively and polished most everything that was aluminum.
The headers are custom made by Lemons and are 2-1/4" stepped to 2-3/8" to a 4-1/2" collector, the rest of the exhaust I built with 4-1/2" through the 2 chamber Flowmasters and then made 4" tailpipes to go over the axle and exit out the sides, this included raising the rear footwheels 1-1/2" so the exhaust could go straight back.
I notched the rear frame and reinforced it throughout and added the roll bar and I also installed a Moser 9" with a 410 gear and Detroit Locker and welded on the rear brace, drain plug and fill cap, and then installed Wilwood rear disc.
This is just to give an idea of what I started with and where it is now since there are way too many modifications I have done and parts to list them all.
