[86montess]

hey guys, I have been patroling the forums and finally started my project. A 1986 monte ss, yes another monte. I am going to strip it all down put in a 350 bored .040 over with some speed-pro pistons and not sure what i am doing for heads yet. Have the tranny rebuilt, fix all the rust and rot in the floor and trunk, maybe a roll cage clean up the frame and underbody, put down some good rust paint and have a nice empty interior, notthing flashy just the essentials. I want to do some suspension upgrades in the front and do a custom 3- link in the rear. The car is going to be a daily driver that sees the the road racing track everyonce in a great while, so I don't want to go to really crazy. Any suggestions on some good suspensions upgrades would be great and any good tips to make the car handle when i want it to would be great.I am working with a extremely small budget seeing that I am only 16. But any tips would be great. Thanks, Tom.

This what I have done so far. It is going to be a slow process. But I will keep the updates coming.
