Not 100% sure on wheels, I just know I want to go with 18's. For the front brakes I have a set of Wilwood SLP6 6 piston calipers, and plan on going with a pair of 4 pistons for the rear. Body color will be Kandy Apple Red (House of Kolor). Here is a photo shop pic I had a member on montecarloss.com do of his car, and it is very similar to what I want mine to look like. The wheels are Bonspeed Deltas, but I'm not sure on them yet.

Some great ideas you have there. I'm glad we have more G-bodys getting into the pro-touring theme. I love how you used sickspeed's pic for your photoshop.

Looks good i would make the spoiler taller or lay it back more and use the 87/88 tail lights and rear bumper but that's just me tho.

Looks great!!!! Those Monte's have always been a favorite of mine!! Looking forward to seeing the progress on it!!!
There was a black SS in one of the major magazines 2 or 3 years ago,,,all kinds of custom touches to it,,,I remember it had rear brake cooling ducts incorporated,,,likely the slickest SS I've ever stumbled across!!!! Never seen it again though!!!

Yeah i love most of the g body cars but hate seeing them donked out like most of them are now.I been looking for a monte carlo or grand prix but most are donked or just way over priced.

Thanks for the compliments. I just can't wait to be able to work on it again.

I know exactly which one you are talking about. That is a sweet Monte for sure. I only ever seen it in the one mag, I have that issue but don't remember which mag it was. He did some SERIOUS Mods to that one, other than the brake ducts.

I haven't completely decided on wheels yet, so if anybody has any other suggestions throw'em out there. If you can do some photoshop work with putting suggestions on the current one, that would be awesome. Might give me a more visual idea.

I like that, looks great!

Rendering looks smokin. For wheels, One word, Forgeline!

[redss86]

Could somebody photoshop those wheels on to my rendering, or just change the color of that car to Kandy Apple Red? I would but, I suck at photo chopping.

Frank, is that a car you guys have done? Do you know what size wheels and tires those are, and any idea what a set like that would run?

Thanks,
Joe
