Here's a shot of the front wheel with the Baer brakes on it.

Cool, I've always like Monte SS. Nice ride, Ben. :thumbsup:

How big of a tire can you stuff in the rear?

Your friend has a nice car!

Scott, I put a 18x9.5 wheel on mine with a 275/35/18 drag radial on the back with no mods to the wheel well

The next generation of high$$$ musclecars....buy em cheap while you can. It's just too bad I live in a state where emissions testing is extremely strict. I had 4 G-bodies and loved them all, wish I could have transplanted some non-emission BBC's in them. )&^)#^$)#@ SMOG POLICE!!!!!

Cool Ride! :thumbsup:

This is about the best Monte, that's got some serious rubber on it! :hail:

Very nice cars. I wouldn't mind one of them myself.

On another note, is that your Mustang in the background?

LOL! Yeah that's my little daily driver. My 85 Notch is the real killer. I should be ordering my AFR heads and cam for it this week. The little red car is fun, basic bolt ons, lowered, 4.10s, Cobra T-5, full aftermarket exhaust to name a few. It's fun.

Very nice ride indeed! There's just something about this body style... it's clean, well balanced, and looks incredibly tough. Great stance and color, BTW! :thumbsup:

I always thought these cars had a little too much of a front overhang. That SS nose adds like 6-7 inches. I guess it was just the style back then.

I agree on the overhang, in my perfect world, I would section about 4 inches out of the front. But that being said, they are fantastic looking cars as they sit, with or without the SS front end, especially when the stance is just right.
