For mine I used the Jegs 700R4/4L60E Double-Hump Crossmember and mounted it at a slight angle..



Drilled 2 holes and used 2 longer bolts on the drivers side, fits perfectly and works great.

 

no progress at this time - just received few little parts from Spohn

 

good looking project, thats gunna fly!

 

Super nice build. I like the lines of the old school Monte

 

thx guys!

just received moar parts! corvette c5 calipers

 

I'd say receiving parts is progress...lol

 

thanks guys! this year will be hard work! i want the monte carlo as my marriage car in 2013

last week I turned some wrenches again



and today I wire brushed the interior and painted it with some rust preventive paint

 

yesterday I took off headliner and the old cardboard insulation




new carpet LOL




bye bye cardboard



lots of wire brushing, scuff and sanding and finally coated with rust preventive paint



I'll add some new butyl & aluminum insulation to the whole interior soon

 

cleaned and painted some parts

 

just found out ChevyTalk has posted my project on their facebook-site!

 

finished headliner insulation today



jeep cherokee steering shaft vs. g-body



blazer spindles, new hubs and kore3 c5 caliper brackets

 

been watchin the build its going to b a killer ride, cant wait to see more. why did u choose the cherokee steering shaft and blazer spindle?

 

thanks! the Jeep shaft is much tighter and not sloppy. the stock g-body has that sloppy rag joint - the jeep has u-joints. it's not a must do but a good upgrade for those that like tight suspension and don't mind the increased harshness of the road feel. just a tighter steering with the upgrade..
talked to Tobin @Kore3 and he said the blazer spindles got a better design for the C5 brake upgrade than the stock g-body spindles. the blazer has bolt on hub - the g-body you need to machine a stock rotor down to use it as a hub. there are a few shops you can buy custom g-body hubs but if you can find blazer spindles + hubs (only the 98+, 2-door, 2wd) it'll be a lot easier for the whole upgrade. with the blazer spindels the whole upgrade is like a bolt on - with the stock g-body spindle you need to do a lot of work (metal cuts, drill and tap)

 

Don't know how I missed this on here. Been watching this build on Montess.com.

Glad you are still at it, progress looks great. Definitely doing it right the first time, no skimping. The time spent now will save you headaches in the future.

Great job man.....
