Thumbs up

Looking great. Is there a time frame for future plans? Or is it mostly plan as you go now?

Hey guys, not sure how this happened but there is a bunch more pictures I posted ended up on a thread 'Big things are happening for Chevrolet brand with the 2015 model year'

I needed help doing what I did - if any of you know how to put those pictures on that thread over here - it would be greatly appreciated because I have no idea how they got there or how to get them back. Thanks SAM

As you can see I don't know what I am doing …

Well guys there appears to be a related thread right in the middle of my pictures - so I guess most of what I wanted to send are here.

My favorite picture is the shot of the rear with the P345/35DR x 18's M&H drag radials in the rear. It is the largest DR's I could buy - I do plan on going to a full Slick on 17's but that fit will come later once the project nears completion. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures. SAM

JASON - I best I could - there plenty of pictures - the first ones are more current and as you go they get older or earlier in the project. SAM

Due to the overwhelming cost of this project - I have the plans of exactly what I am going to do - and have had it when financing is in place and when one step has come to completion the next step is taken again when all the finances are in place. The plan is methodical and coming into play just as I want them - I have the time - just not the dollars to support all my plans when I want to, but doing what I want is coming together slowly (and going forward) and I am getting closer. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

What a labor of love, this project has taken a long minute to get going... Going to be the finest 7th gen. Monte ever built.

Greg: Been a long time- hope all is well - family good I hope, your job all good. Anyway needed to touch base - I posted about 3 dozen new pictures of my next build - I would really like you to see them. Maybe throw me a bit of advise - besides the fact I am spending way too much money (LOL!)

I am really excited now. The car goes out to California shortly for a floor pan, firewall, trunk floor - tubs and roll cage - and maybe front inner fenders (not sure on that).
Once its back - start getting everything put together that is needed - dash and gauges, cooling, remote shifter - all the wiring, etc, etc, etc & etc. - so much detail. Then disassembled - frame to powder coat and paint the car the same color as my SSV1. Then final assembly - I still am about a year away from completion hoping maybe fall of 2020 but looks like spring '21 - I am just chomping at the bit to get this one back.
Anyway hope to hear from you soon. SAM

On the thread you will have a lot of scrolling to do - there is a complete thread right in the middle of all the pictures.. Goes from more recent to the beginning - kind of backwards - that I can't help - did it myself and I am lucky I even figured it out. Hope you like everything. SAM
