Last things I needed that I can't salvage from my exploded engine showed up.
TA 310 cam, pickup tube (earlier smaller size), neato air cleaner decal and a new rocker set.

Always liked Crowers boxes. Yes, crower makes TAs cams. So in a way I still got a crower cam lol.
 
Getting closer. Bought some left hand nuts so I could install the Allstar performance adjusters and get the tie rods on. Also bought an 1-1/4 sway bar and brackets from Peter P. That I cleaned up and painted black, then installed with new MOOG Bushings and end links. Also bought the dust shields from pontiac guy, got those cleaned up, modified to clear the lower control arm (because of the taller ball joints) and painted. Finally got my SSBC brakes installed, next will be brake lines.

Installed my radio today. The kit I got had so many brackets. Took some convincing to get it to fit in the opening but after everything came out alright. First time I’ve had tunes in this car. It’s an Alpine unit with matching power pack that I’ll be tucking up in the dash. So many wires.

Wow. Pretty. Tell me about that radio set up. I'd love to have tunes in the GP. I haven't decided what to do about the front speakers

Ummmm, if you remove/bend the rear support, you can use the flush mount plate instead of the John Holmes extension piece.....

Changed the oil in the Pig- ~57,000 since the Series 2 swap...😎

Front speakers are Pioneer 3.5in model: TS-A878. Fit perfect in the Monte Carlo dash. Radio is an Alpine UTE-52BT with Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack pushing the speakers. Haven’t gotten rear speakers yet, undecided if I’ll run 4x10s or get adaptors for 6x9

I figured that’d work, how does that bracket come out though? Cut off wheel and go or is it more than that? Thanks in advanced.

All depends on how far you want to go. You can bend it back or cut it out. I will recommend a rear support (Alpine should have included a stud and back strap) if it's a CD player.
 
Been a long time coming! I got a million things to finish, but this feels like a milestone.


:friday: :friday::friday::friday::friday::friday::friday:

On to the next thing!
