CruizinKev's 1979 Monte Carlo

[GetOwnedVette]

I have to ask. Why r u using spacers? Why not just get the correct offset wheel?

Good deal on the rims? All I can think of

 

[CruizinKev]

the wheels only come with 2 choices of offsets and none of them are "correct" for our gbody cars.... that's why I have to use spacers..

the project was on hold for a little while because I've been busy with wedding organisation and stuff. my fiance and me are getting married next week (May 25th) so that's why no updates on the monte for a while. just tried to make the Monte ready for the wedding but oh well.. lot of other stuff came in and plus a long dang cold winter.
but as we speak there are some more new parts on the way to continue work on the car. already got new rear wheels tubs laying and a cammed LS3 6.2 out of a 2011 camaro

The Quick performance 9" rearend is a great product. I installed one in my '71 Skylark, which has over 515ft lbs. of torque. It's been to the track a few times w/ slicks and handled the punishment. Good luck.

Wondered where you'd been hiding Kevin. Looks like you've been busy building something other than the car. LOL

Are you going to order the rear the "correct" width needed in order not use the spacers?

Are you going to order the rear the "correct" width needed in order not use the spacers?

no I just got the rear end with stock g-body width - I think I'll notch the frame a little bit and mini tub the rear fenders to run the wheels without the spacers..

also just received the hedman 1-7/8" ceramic coated LT headers from BRP Hotrods.

Wouldn't that sink the wheels too far into the body??
