Great build. Love that body style Monte.
Keep us posted.

Not a lot of updates on the car itself yet but we did use this car to develop our G-Body rear coilover kit.

Our new G-Body rear coilover kit is installed on our Green Machine, below are a few pictures. We also built an optional rear shock tower brace you can see in the pictures. This ties the rear shock towers together for additional reinforcement.

This will also be available with shock valving more oriented towards pro-touring and drag racing.

New rear shock tower brace that we developed off our Monte while we were working on it. Brace was originally designed to help distribute the load of the rear coil overs.

We are getting the rear suspension put together for our first event coming up in May. We will be running the rear coil over kit with the Viking Crusader shocks with higher rebound valving.

Want to see this thing get flogged with the new parts on it!

I see a design change from the 1st shock tower brace, was that for strength/structural reasons? And I may have missed it but what gauge setup is that your using in the dashboard?

[UMI Tech]

The design change is for exhaust clearance. We moved the bar rearward.

The awesome gauges are Dakota Digital VHX. They work great and have a ton of functionality.

I like what you guys are doing!
Great job. I bet she handles 100% better now.
