I'm Nick in my thirty's. Few years ago I got a beat up Monte from my cousin. She inherited it when my grandfather passed away. He was the original owner. It's a blue and silver 2004 LS. My grandfather had used pinstripe to put SS on the quarter panel. So I fix all the body damage. And had it painted with a Autobot logo graffic on the roof. So I'm making it an SS clone in his memory. Then I added a SS spoiler. Then a freak hail storm hit. 6,000 in body damage. Insurance gives me 2,400. Shop says 3,400 to fix everything not bolted to the car. So I got a hood off a 2003 Jeff Gordon SS. Got an ss rear bumper and valance(blue/yellow). Then a SS front bumper w/ fog lights, valance and SS side skirts(red, yellow and yellow). I'm about to get a m90 supercharger, transmission and a bunch of other parts to go with it from a 2004 Impala SS. And plan on finding a block and heads to bolt the super charger to.So I have some thing to tinker with while I look for fenders and another SS trunk lid, install the extra doors I have and save to have it painted again. But I'm gonna shot for about 30-60hp more than a stock 3.8l SC. I've also got a 280 hp 22psi Audi 200 Quattro avant(Sumer driver parts getter) and, 1970 Oldsmobile 442( long term restoration), an Audi 200 10v(winter car when it runs) and a Mazda MX-3 GS(long term protect car). No I'm not rich. They we all purchased for a total cost under $7,000 over years. I'm lucky to make 12,000 a year. But I make it work( no pity party here). I do everything on my cars but paint and body work.(I hate doing body work). I figure if I can resurrect something as complex as a turbo Audi. I should be able to put a Supercharged engine in my Monte with the harness, ecu, ignition module/cylinder from the same year donar car. Also getting a gauge cluster with boost gauge and the intake manifold, supercharger and TB body. I have a real C.A.I.. And a few spair na 3.8s for parts and testing. I'll be posting a project thread soon. With pics.
