Our 79 Monte Carlo- Pro Touring Project

Cage is in. We welded to the frame and gussetted as well. Should be solid. Roger patched the floor and seam sealed it later in the day.

The Wizard radiator and twin brushless Spal's are in. The Green Machine is going to freeze I think. Also check out the new Flaming River one wire alternator. Minus 6 lbs.

I have a question, since you are running a standard transmission what is the line for that looks like a cooling line attached to the radiator

6 lbs off the alternator and the added weight behind the firewall with the cage will help with the terrible front/rear weight bias on these G bodies...🙂

Integral power steering cooler.

We are indeed looking forward to getting a percent or two toward the rear.

Greetings Craig, Ramey & all; You guys seem to have the MOST awesome hot rod on the forum as most of us can only dream of having something that performs at your level. It's taken me 35 years to get only close (subjective) to your level. Are you guys going to attend the Car Craft Nat's? I would be honored to lose a round to you guys at the auto X event? And only hope to be close to ya at the mid night drags? And speaking of drags, have you run a quarter mile yet? And if so how quick is the Hulk (my name for you Fine automobile)? My last pass at GLDW (2009 Power Tour) was a slow 12.8 with a full trunk of stuff as it was misting. I'd like to think I'll be quicker this year with less stuff in the trunk & maybe better weather? Keep up the out standing work, Bob Jr.

Hi Bob. Thanks for the nice message.

We won't be at CC but would love to go some year.

1/4 mile is probably not so good with 200 TW tires. I'd like to see mid-12's with a good trap speed.

Hulk is a cool name!

good luck and I always liked the open trailers to give people and kids the thrill of seeing a race car on the way to the track...🙂

Are the Rival S proven or are you just trying different tires?
