First Post, 5th Gen L67 Monte

[bumpin96monte]

Just making a first/test post on this board. I've been into the wbody scene for awhile, but I'm just starting into my front coilover project on my monte and have been referring to a lot of threads on here for information. I figured I'd finally make an account since this seems to be one of the more active w body forums nowadays.

I've had quite a few wbody cars in the past, but the current lineup is:
-96 Monte Carlo, L67, whipple, etc
-01 Camaro, v6, t tops, stock
-07 Grand Prix GXP, bolt ons
-09 Corvette, bolt ons, collecting parts for a Vortech install
-15 Edge turbo, stock

Welcome. Stay at it and you'll have one for each day of the week!

Whipple eh, not many have ever ran one of those.

I'd love to see some pictures.

Here's a fairly recent one, this was the first time out of the garage since the last round of mods:

The GP is under the cover on the left.

I like it!

Thanks, here is another neat shot. I've got a couple of simple white LED strips tucked under the lip of the upper radiator support. Not too gaudy, but just enough to be able see in the engine bay at a night time cruise in.

Hey Buck, good to see you're still playing around with these engines! It has been awhile since the mymonte days, I've unfortunately lost contact with a lot of people from there...

I do miss those big wbody meets too, not a whole lot of modded wbody cars out here at all.

You still have the Lumina?

Nope. I sold that in '07 after I put it "mostly" back to stock. Got tired of it. Then got a 99 GS from a stealership in Cleveland and then the motor tanked shortly after. Then I flew to Cali and picked up Ryan Stite's 03 GS (Monte Citan) and drove it back with my wife to Ohio. Still pimping that car and the other ebola car in my sig.
