New guy w/ 85 Monte
« on: August 14, 2008, 05:15:43 PM »
Hey guys - found the board through Tom (3whiterag) and thought I pop in and check things out. 

My car is a 1985 Monte Carlo SS:

That pic was found online by Brad at Sherman parts and they ended up using it on their 08/09 parts catalog:

http://www.shermanparts.com/catalog.html

It has a mild 350 and I recently completed a World Class T5 5-speed swap. Other than that, mostly cosmetic stuff - refinished 86-88 SS wheels, dual snorkel air breather, electric fan with SPAL PWM controller, TES shorty headers, custom T/A shaker hood with functional flap. serpentine belt setup, H4 headlight upgade, 3" front drop, 1.5" rear drop and a couple years back I had new aftermarket rear frame rails installed to replace the rotted originals.

Future plans include a vortec head & cam upgrade, 8.5" posi rearend (in hand), true dual stainless steel exhaust, and then paint some day.
 
Here's my motortopia site if anyone is interested in more pics:

Hey I've spotted your Monte before. I saw it when I had my GTP coupe in at Mid City Auto. Good to see another local guy from this forum.

It was there recently getting a front end alignment and earlier this year for an A/C recharge.  Larry and Paul are the only guys I've ever trusted for the odd things I don't/can't do myself on our cars.  I've known him for a ling time back to the early Midas days in PC!

Yeah those guys are very good. I've been going to them for a long time as well as my dad. Those guys did a great job installing my headers!
