Big fan here of the Green Machine, can't wait to see how all of the new products work on it this season.

Would love to make an event this year and run with it out on a course...

This is a cool thread. I love that you're showing the before & after. Besides, I'm partial to G-bodies.

Keep it up !

Thanks for looking guys!

SSLance and Ron- I know Ramey is looking forward to event together, of course I am too. Lance we have learned a lot for your car and your build thread, I know Ramey studies it daily it seems. Ron your help on our G-Body platform has been great, we appreciate it and can't wait to incorporate the changes. We just talked about both of you earlier in a meeting on some of the new G-Body stuff in the works. We are excited to work with both of you in the 2015 season

I know this is an early Monte, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the "before" pictures - -

Cool thread!

Our R&D has been busy working on a few new products to help the car excel in 2015. A rear coil over kit is in the works now and almost completed. The lower mounting bracket below is designed to work with or with our UMI control arm relocation brackets. We also have another cool lower bracket that has control arm relocation built into it, one bracket can do two things. Pictures coming soon.

We will post some better pictures shortly.

Very cool build. G-body looks like a great platform to get into this scene efficiently. You keeping the exhaust cut-outs? Green on green is such a design cue from the era as well. Throw some Sparco's in there covered in the same green vinyl.

Watching this build makes me want to do an old buick regal of similar era and paint it like the Mountain Dew car DW use to drive.
