[86GUTLASS]

[86GUTLASS]

[juicedimpss]

looks like a great start to the project.
while the rear upper crossmember is in the open,do what you can to stiffen it up,those like to move around with power.

[MY FYN 79]

Nice chassis. Any updates?

[Lash]

Any updates?


Probably not......I think this is turning into a life long project :stare

:banana1:
:goof

[Rocket Power]

I am hoping mine runs 17's on pump gas:goof

[86GUTLASS]

Awesome!


Are you aiming to have that thing done by spring?

[86GUTLASS]

I would like to.But I dont think it will happen.It will be on the road by the end of next summer for sure.

You need to pick up a g-body project.(Monte Carlo)

[PB86MCSS]

Is it a factory A/C delete car or did you convert it?

[Lash]

I've actually been looking for one...lol.

[PB86MCSS]

There was a decent looking mid 80's Monte Sport Coupe on craigslist in Appleton, $2,000 with a 350, nice looking paint but who knows what the body is like, looked nice in the ad...nice 17x8 TT2's too. Seems pretty cheap, if you like the SC look.

I saw that one. Seems too good to be true.....just like my '81 was...lol.


It's either a Monte....or a '62-'65 Nova for me.

[86GUTLASS]

I converted it to ac deleate

Lash get A Monte :D
I saw the blue one Craigslist,looks nice.

[diablizzard]

you put that sway bar in or did you go with a different one

[86GUTLASS]

Im using that sway bar i got from you.

[diablizzard]

sweet, at least it's being used and not still waiting for someone else to pick it up

[86GUTLASS]

Update: I got the front clip back on.Headers are on for now,Have to take the drivers side loose to get the starter out and wired up.Ordered up a Pypes x-pipe dual exhaust system.All I have to do is order up the fuel line and fittings,wire it up,set up the pulley's and probably a bunch of other small things lol a couple quick pics

[Rocket Power]

Cool. Are those the Hooker BBO/Gbody headers, or different ones?

[86GUTLASS]

Dick Miller Racing Headers formerly Kooks

[Rocket Power]

How do they fit?

[86GUTLASS]

They went in real easy.I only had to cut those two ears off of the trans,one on each side.The passenger side is real close to the oil filter,might run a smaller filter.I think they are worth the money.

[Rocket Power]

That's cool. I had heard about people having issues with the a-body ones and having to ding them which isn't a huge deal on cheaper ones but for $600+ headers I wouldn't want to have to beat on them:goof. I had to cut an ear off the trans on my hooker g-body ones too.

[86GUTLASS]

No pictures but I did get the engine some what wired up today,radiator in,trans cooler hooked up.I still need to make/run fuel lines,hook up exhaust,oil pressure and water temp.guages.I got excited and turned it over once.Im pumped, cant wait for it to run.:banana

[Lash]

Hurry the fuck up. This isn't a life-long project, is it? :goof

[86GUTLASS]

LOL, I Know

[86GUTLASS]

Fired it up last night:banana Sounds awesome.Just got button up some odds and ends, should be on the road in a week or so.

[Lash]

Where's the video???

[86GUTLASS]

I will take a video of it running.Then I have to figure out how to post it.lol

[Sleeper Sierra]

congrats. its about damn time.

[86GUTLASS]

Well it was running,My carb was a piece,ordered a new one.I hope to have the new carb on Fri.night and get the trans sorted out.Maybe drive it this weekend.So frustrating:mad:

[86GUTLASS]

Making a new gauge cluster.I also had the headers ceramic coated and installed Eibach springs,thats my list of winter projects.

http://http://brewcitymuscle.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6838&stc=1&d=1268917112

[PB86MCSS]

Looks good....gonna plan to get it up to 8k+ RPMs? :D

[86GUTLASS]

lol,Um no 8k rpms for that engine.I still have to paint the cluster and wire it.This nice weather is really giving me the itch to drive it.

[PB86MCSS]

Same here with the weather, work on it too. In the middle of swapping out rear UCA bushings in my 87', fun job.

[86GUTLASS]

Just about done with guages.My oil press.and water temp are in a Guage pod in the A-pillar.
