Hey, where you live at? I've got an 06 Monte that you can go to work on lol, just kidding man hahaha!!

Welcome to the site and please share the experience on how you transformed that sweet car. I've always wondered if this could be done, crazy to actually see it.

Greetings. Welcome. I have seen this done before. There is a bright green 5th gen shell over a 4th gen frame out there. SpaceRider posted the article on it a while back. Very sweet ride. Yours too, RWD. Is it an auto or manny tranny?

Here is the article on the other one. Looks like it was an F-body frame they used with a '95 body, and a 406ci V8 with LT1 intake good for 466hp and 460lb/ft torque. RWD, we would love some more specs on your build. Please post when you have a chance.

wow that 95 monte carlo is bad ***. i never seen that add. the three link rear end of the f body sucks but they used a nice rear end. i know this is bad to hear but i want a ford 9 inch
but i heard i uses alot of power . thanks for showing me the add.
