Looks awesome! But the red steering wheel I don't think goes well.

So what are your plans for this ride? Car show cruiser? Take it to the track?

Lookin' good! I have to agree about the steering wheel though...it looks out of place but that's an easy fix.

I plan to do a little of both with it. The town I live in has a car show once a month from April til October that they block off the streets in town for. ( www.somernitescruise.com if you want to check it out) I plan on taking it there some, as well as my 76 stingray, my 82 cabellero, and my 88 jag.

I used to race my monte back in high school and loved it, so I am sure I will have to run this one some as well. Even if I decide not to race much, I still want to make sure it has more than enough respectable HP to hang out at the cruise. LOL

Oooo you have a Stingray too? Shame my Camaro is already put away/partially taken apart for the winter, otherwise I'd bring it with me to Albany when I go to my unit this weekend.
