Hi everyone,

I'm pro-touring & lateral-g member and thought I also should post a build thread over here.

I bought it december 2002 and I'm still on it.







current projects, rework the whole car, rebuild frame/suspension. Body will be painted something like gunmetal (dark grey)..

first steps - I cleaned a lil bit the engine and added some chrome parts..








09/17/2007:

started to unscrew all stuff between body and frame..

yummy!!




..unfortunately 3 years passed now I had to stop work on it because of money issues... but I hope this year I can start again.
Like said before, want to rebuild everything. Want a clean & smooth car - good suspension, good brakes and a nice look..

 

..something like that I want it to look like..





Looked around for ideas what to do with the interior. especially with the dash/gauge-cluster.. and found this:

It's a 1960 Impala dashboard.. and here's what I bought:



my BOSS 338 rims:

18x8 (front)



18x9.5 (rear)



at the moment I'm planning to get a LS1 along with a T56. already started collecting parts:




ordered GSI clutch pedal.

will start work on the car again very soon - asap cold winter over here is gone.. will pull out the old motor and reweld and box the frame...

okay so far,

feel free and post your thoughts and suggestions!

nice... i dont see those style monte's that much

 

thx


found some pretty cool door handles:




by pressing the button the handle will come out. what do you think? need to measure the stock handle of the car. these handles are about 6.25" long (from aluminum handle to button)..

 

im puttin a 59 impala das in my 1980 trans am !!! BUT the slot where my stearing column is WILL be centered with the main gauge on the dash!

 

cool any progress pics?

now got the sheet metal for the door handles

 

just ordered a engine hoist - will work on the car again VERY soon!

and the 295/35-18 yokohamas arrived today

 

Those handles look pretty good..... what do they come from?

 

Looks like a VERY cool project. Keep the pics coming.

 

thx guys!

handles came off a european small car: a fiat barchetta




just ordered a engine hoist and parts to build a body dolly. will work on the car again VERY soon!

 

updated pics






been busy today with building the wooden body dolly

 

Good looking build! Should be a clean car, always loved that style monte!

 

Thx!

pics of today's work!

me @ work












and here the look out to my daily car



I pulled the engine few hours ago and I must say it was easy going for my first time doing that. next step is pull the chassis out the barn, finish the body dolly and roll the body further in the barn so I got more room to play will look around for a sandblaster for my frame and so on...

 

today I finally finished work on the rolling body dolly.





weather is finally nice over here in Germany.




already started to rip off the old fuel and brake linkes and other parts..

 

Awsome build so far man! Keep the pics rollin'

 

what part of germany are you in?
