Default New car

Hello I'm Colin and I got what I've wanted for years, a fourth gen Monte Carlo. Its a 1988 LS and I plan on making a SS clone. I think I uploaded a picture if not sorry but as you can you can see its still on the trailer.

I have been searching for information because I KNOW I have seen the information somewhere before.
I am not sure how the SS trim vs the non-trim mounts. I know the front clip is different on SS vs non-SS but unsure as to whether modifications need to be made for mounting.
I will keep looking to see if I can find anything.

Colin-
Yes, it's discouraging when things don't go exactly how you had it in your mind
But it sounds like you have a plan!!! Get it up and running and go from there!!
