Our 79 Monte Carlo- Pro Touring Project

[UMI Performance]

Our Monte attended its first show a few weeks ago where it was displayed in the air to show its new fancy underneath. The car received a lot of attention, we got a lot of compliments on the budget look. We also had a few haters, but doesn't every car? 🙂 We know the green paint is ugly, that is why we like it!

Thanks very much. I wish I could attend a show like that, and see all of the modifications in person. It looks like you had some literature available for people to pick up and look at as well.

Here are a few more shots of the new suspension on our Monte. Our Monte basically received our Stage 4 handling kit.

As soon as our new seats come in along with rear disc, steering wheel and steering box she will be headed to the track for testing. We will be sure to share the photos and video!

very nice and I like the way you have the undersides of your cars on display. How do find the Goodrich tires on the green monster. I was told they were noisey. With the rear bar I see you have adjustable links, are you considering a pre-load set up for a test on an oval track?

I will actually be putting some highway miles on the car beginning tonight and tomorrow... hopefully around 150-200 miles.

However it will be tough to tell over the exhaust and TH400 backed with the 3.73's going 70 mpg 🙂

I didn't make my addition to my last post quick enough... 😳

what size are those wheels?

Are you going to add a little stitch weld to the rear sway bar mounts on the housing?..

We won't unless we need to. The mounting brackets have teeth machined into them and that grip into the axle tubes to prevent rotation.

Here are a few pictures that show the rear bar at right height. It looks mean from the back end.

I love the look!

Are you going to be at the gm nats in Carlisle? Any word if you are going to make the trans x-members.
