Good morning MCF!

Well the holidays are about over, it's back to work tomorrow for me, how about you all? Did anybody get any cool car stuff? I didn't but I got the ok to buy some. I am thinking about getting a high sport rear spoiler if I can find one, a stainless resonator, and some new tires and Cragar SS wheels. Not all at once though, What do yall think?

Sounds like a good list of items for an upgrade for sure. I love the Cragar SS wheels I have had a few sets on Cars I have owned. It's just fun to drive downtown and watch them in the windows as you go by. If you do the tires you really need to do the wheels, it's traditional...........
The Spoiler is a nice option also. good luck with your quest.

It was back to work for me today
Cragers are nice Tommy..but like drivernumber3 said.. new tires must go with new rims!!
I am getting ready to spend some money on one of my Montes too Tommy.
Tomorrow, the newly acquired 10 bolt 8.5 rear end (from an 87 Grand national) is going over to Moser Engineering for set up. Already have the 3.90 gear in the replacement rear end but Moser is going to do new 30 spline racing axles, c clip eliminators, and a full spool plus complete set up of the entire rear end. I will just have to pick it up and bolt it under the car!! But I will also be putting some Moroso trick springs on the rear along with Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable shocks. Also changing out the shocks on the front to adjustable.
Getting ready to buy some frontrunners for the 84 in a few weeks so I can go with skinny tires in the front and slicks in the back!!
Nw well will need to see picks of your new mods!!!

Wow Barbara! Your mods are truly exciting. That beefed up 3:90 rear end, adjustable shocks, and slicks should really make the Monte hook up solid and "haul the mail" down the strip!

I will post some pics when (and if) my mods get done. I was given the go ahead but the reality of two kids, soccer, and daily life will probably take most of my extra cash. But it's good to have dreams if there is a few extra bucks!
