Here's some pictures of the finished product. I have a new grill I haven't put on yet but you get the idea. First two pics are from a few years ago... those after are recent

More recent...
My nephew and I, trying to get him into cars as young as possible!

Had the window tinted. Here's the mirrors I refinished and all new door accessories

She's a lot of fun to drive, I get tons of thumbs up and compliments which makes it all worth it to me. Thank you again to those that have helped me along the way I know I asked a lot of questions sometimes too many but a lot of you guys prevented me from doing the same thing twice !

Also 3 years ago I got my grandpa a true 84 monte SS and here it is now ! Beautiful car he did an excellent job on it!

there is a guy down the street from me that builds custom trailers. i just measured the length that separated my frame horns. measure yours because mine and my grandpas montes were very slightly different. 1x1 angle iron would work also, 1x2 was a little bit of a squeeze but worked fine. cost me $24 and i primered it and painted it red. made a huge noticeable difference as soon as i took it for a test drive. I would highly recommend it. any steel supplier should carry angle iron

Thank you for sharing all the great pics. You look like a nice couple.
The car looks great, man.
Your grandpas Monte looks sweet.

Looks like you accomplished a good deal of work on the car...kudos to you. Keep up the good work and show us what you're up to.
We'll be checking on your progress...😉

next up for me is a rear disc swap and an electronic vacuum pump since this cam is sucking the life out of my power brakes ! can't wait to have this thing braking like a champ.

Nice work

Very nice work! Excellent build! I like where you put the vacuum canister, looks nice and tidy in and out!

yeah no need for wipers for me, I don't drive it in the rain nor do I ever plan on selling it. Also saves a ton of weight haha. Jk. Soon it will be gone. I'll be doing a bbody master cylinder and brake booster upgrade along with a summit racing vacuum pump. The canister helps out but my cam is a mutherthumper and it sucks the life out of my power brakes. I only get 7" of vacuum at idle. Can't wait to get that pump and see how well this thing really stops.

Sweet Malibu!! What was the angle iron for?

Sweet Malibu!! What was the angle iron for?

I used the angle iron to tie the rear frame horns together since the only thing tying it together is the rear bumper. I noticed a huge difference from installing it. I probably noticed that suspension upgrade more than any other bar I installed on the car.
