Hello, My name is Rob New to the site.
I have a 1987 monte carlo ss aerocoupe. I bought it from the 2nd owner back 1998. Since then I put a sbc 355 and 5 speed manual trans. Hotchkis suspension system, energy ploy body bushing , B body spindles and 12 inch rotor and B body calipers up front. Fox adjustable shock, Morso 12 bolt posi 4:10 gears with ford rear disc brakes. Adjustable rear sway bar. I picked up the new TCET17805 Tremec TKX 5 Speed transmission. I just have to put it in. The car is nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I just got it back on the road last year. It sat in my garage for 10 years on blocks. I was trying to build a budget friendly pro touring car.

The car was a low options car. It has buckets seat center console posi rear and the window. N0 radio, no p/s, p/l, p/w, .
I have to still do a few things too it. My cam is a little to big for the street. I took the motor out of a bracket racing car. I need to put the a/c in and looking for a steering box mine is very loose. I need to paint it before it gets really bad.
