My Monte Carlo Resto Website

 

 

Welcome to my 70-71 Monte Carlo restoration site.  I have created this site to help motivate me to finish my car.  The web site is still under construction and so is the car,  so please be patient.  I also want you to enjoy your visit without the dam popups from my web host.  So install a popup killer like the one I have provided and please don't install anything from a popup because it is most likely spy ware.  Click here to download the popup killer. I hope you enjoy the site and I will try to update it weekly.

 

Thanks,

MY Project:

 

1971 Monte Carlo, 350 motor and trans, 10 bolt rear end.

 

               

 

As you can see it is in working progress.  I have rebuilt the engine, front and rear end.  It has 350 motor and trans with a 10 bolt rear end.  The engine in this car really runs great after rebuilding it.   It needs some major/minor  body work.  Both rear quarter panels have some rust pinholes and need fixing or replacing.   The right front fender also needs a patch panel. It was once painted brown but I have removed all the paint and primer it.  I had found this to be a mistake and should have left the paint to last.  The primer fades and rubs off with time making a mess.  This isn't a problem if you sand and coat it over again, which I didn't.   Also the interior was just old as dirt.  This car needs a lot of work, and I don't mind doing it if I can.  My wife thinks I am nuts but oh well.  

Here is a list of Items that are already installed in the car..

MSD distributor and Fireball Ignition, Erson 1.5 aluminum roller rockers, Erson tq-30 cam with true roller timing chain, Holley 650cfm carburetor with performer intake, Stock lower end, Terminator- Dual exhaust pipes and mufflers, B&M  shift kit with 1500 stall converter,  Polyurethane front end, G-tech front sway bar and PST Gold boxed aluminized rear control arms (upper and lower) with polyurethane bushings.

Items I have purchased to put in the car:

1. Whole interior (black) minus the floor carpet. 

2. Center console with Hurst shifter.

3. New Cragar Street Stars/w BF Goodrich Racing TA's, z rated.

4. New side view mirrors.

5. Black leather bucket seats.  They look like Carrera's but aren't.  They are out of a 1986 Conquest TSI.

 

Check out my restoration pages.  They are being updated daily.
