Default I can't wait for Saturday...

That's when I'm picking up my 86 Monte Carlo SS rolling chassis, with T-tops! UNG! I have plans to put in a 5.3/ 4L80E combo to get it running this year. This winter, I will most likely add a pair of 76mm twins into the mix and see what it can do. Here's what it looked like when the old owner mocked up an LQ4.




My previous project was a 2004 Grand Prix GT2. it is currenly being demodded so it can be sold. I've had my share of fun building it with a topswap, xp cam, headers, nitrous, and applicable supporting mods. I want something RWD to work on.

This picture was in the 2011 GTPworld Calendar



I also have a 2005 Grand Prix Base model that I daily drive. No current plans for modding that besides maybe some audio and visuals at a later point in time.

Welcome to the MCF. Good luck with your project Monte. Does it come with all the missing parts in the pic?
