Hey so im from chi-town. I picked up a 84 monte CL in '07. Ever since my daddy had a 83 grand prix i always wanted a gbody myself. Its been a long 5 years or so getting the beast to how she sit now, ive put in different engines, different transmissions, and fixed the interior somewhat. Its alot better than when i originally got the car. It was formerly someone elses pet project a big block car from southern IL, but it was sold to me when my friend decided to part the big block out. I got it and it barely ran, died out at the apron of my driveway, had to push it home the first night i owned her. Since then ive gotten antique plates and barely drive her, and thats a good thing. I dont want it to get stolen, 2 of my buddys cars got stolen before. I was lucky enough to get a completely straight car bodywise, never had floors replaced, never had quarters replaced. I dented the hood and driver fender once on accident, but i fixed them both. Swapped in a hot SBC from a 70s nova from another acquaintance that wanted to go big block. 750 holley, long tubes, roller rockers, big cam, etc its healthy. Suspension is still very stock 6cyl granny car, so its got the typical g-body lean. I cleaned up the paintjob on it that was unfinished tacky lowrider/metallica skulls. Got it on Chevy 15 in ralley rims 235 60 15 fronts and 255 60 15 in back. i converted the rear bumper to the smoother 87 look, and am gonna add an SS spoiler once i fix the crack in it and replace the mounting studs. I painted it satin black since flat black is too common now... project Import Slayer:
My new daily driver a nice acura i picked up for a steal. fixed the trans, owner didnt know warranty replacement trans was awailable... boo hoo. Horrible paint job on the mc huh its terrible.
I love cars. I got more involved ever since i went clean and got legit. Not every g-body owner out there is in da hood. I used to be. But then i wised up, went back to school used my head and got a degree in industrial design. Figured out i had brains i never thought i had before - Anyhow this is my life now and im not turning back. Ya cant serve fiends forever know what im sayin, n luck, it runs out sooner er later...
