Default '88 Monte SS Green Machine

So did some upgrades over the weekend so thought I would document what I did as well as what all I have done.

My car is a 1988 Monte Carlo SS. Specs on the car are as follows:

Exterior
• Car was repainted from factory black to GM color Polo Green Metallic with gold factory stripes.
• Wheels are 18” Chrome IROC replicas wrapped in 245/40/18 tires.
• Tint is 20% all around

Interior
• Factory Saddle interior
• Interior/dash lights replaced with LED
• Gauge POD with Autometer Gauges

Drivetrain
• Blueprint Engine 355 SBC
• 200-4r transmission
• Flowtech Longtube headers
• Dual exhaust from headers back

Suspension
• 2” drop all around
• F-Body 34mm Front sway bar
• Core/Firewall Support Braces
• UMI Performance Rear Shock Tower Brace
• Custom Rear Frame Brace
• Cutlass Radiator Cross Brace
• Custom Lower Control Arm Braces
• Drilled/slotted rotors
• Stainless Brake Hoses
• B-Body Brake Booster

and here are some pics

I'll get some more pics of the car up later.

Thanks!!

Love the color combo on this G-body, been a favorite of mine for a while. Glad to see you get some more horsepower under the hood, you will certainly enjoy that.
