well whats up GBF? Some of you know im a gbody nut and been around for years now but ive never done a build thread here. well its the time to put my new monte out there. i just picked this bad boy up just a little over a week ago or so now. 1st off its a clone but i didn't mind that because i scored the car for the all time low $360. this ride definitely needs work as when i bought it, it had no interior seat period or headliner. The positive it did come with a sbc 350 block and accessories but no top end. Here she goes sitting in the previous owners driveway....She's an 84 SS clone

engine, right now the monte has a sbc 350. Since im still workin on my cutlass too and i already did a big motor swap in that car i plan to keep my work load easy this time and just keep the carb 350 setup until it dies on me, then i'll go LS1 in this b*tch if i keep her.
the top of the core support had surface rust and right behind the grill. i couldnt stand it so i hit it with the flat black rust prevention paint real quick but i didnt get a good before shot of it.

im a detail kind of guy so most of the time i go hard and clean things up top notch but this is a budget thing so im not going to focus as hard as i normally do.

Deezy it look like you going hard in the paint already. I'm kind of jealous of you and KingColbert with both of yall of new projects. I know you gonna do this MC justice, and the finished product will be immaculate, regardless of what you say.
