well seeing im actualy starting to get stuff together for my monte build i figures i mine aswell start a build thread. the project is not under way yet iim gather part and gonna do it all at once hopefully it will be done 4 the woodward cruise.
body: im gonna do some body work when it gets a little warmer out then once thats done its getting painted the same two tone dark blue on light blue wiht a little more metallic. I was thinking about shaving everything but ill see were im at on the money problem when i get that far. i plan on getting a set of 17+ inch rims wiht some mikki street radials.
interior: its getting redone wiht factory colors the dark blue and light blue, i plan on building a custom dash for it wiht after market gauges in it and also getting a better head unit. the trunks gonna have a fuelcell wiht a 10lb bottle sitting next to it
drivetrain:it currently has a tci racing th350 trans in it the trans is only rated to 400hp so i might be needing a new one in the future.I was thinking about buying a 9inch ford set up for it but do to im on a bit of a budget im gonne just build the 7.5 inch for now forged moser axles, posi unit, and for gears i cant decide between goin wiht the 3.73 or a 4.10. im also throwing in a 2500 stall torq converter
