Looking for a '78 Monte Carlo, one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned.
Click to expand...

I had a '78 Monte Carlo also. When my parents bought it for me, it had a standard 305 with wire rim wheels. When I was done with it, I had put a 350 from a '70 Corvette bored .030 over, 4.88 rear end, high rise intake and Holley carb. According to my buddy's at Harry Hot Rod shop in Dallas, it put out over 400hp. While it rode on the street just fine and quiet, she would do 12.5 in the quarter mile and in 1983, that was faster than any production car except the twin turbo 911. Loved that car.
 
Glad to see a car thread! Serious part of my collection, and why I build most of my aircraft 'whee's up' and hang them with monofiliament--the cars claim a lot of the shelf space.
 
The kind of car that Humphrey Bogart drove in Big Sleep is either a 1930's Chrysler or Dodge. The other cars used in the film include the 1941 Buick Series 90, 1942 Cadillac, 1936 De Soto Custom, 1940 Dodge Luxury Liner Special and the 1938 Plymouth Deluxe.
 

Will be using these on my '40 Ford pickup, which I've decided to paint black... I'll be using these,
which comes from my '49 Mercury kustom, instead for the....


....modern ones, that I did not like together with the rest..


Which leaves me these beauts, on the Merc...


Voila'!


Just saying....
 
i only build the real ones,i'm going over to the garage tomorrow and i will take a couple of pics and post them in the next couple of days,be prepared for a shock,if there is enough interest i might start a thread in the start to finish build postings if there is enough interest and the admins say its ok
 
Same place who sells the Ardun heads, also sells sets of 8 Stromberg 97's... 8) Something for my '37 Chevy Coupe or '36 Ford 3 Window Coupe... Hmmmm
 
Wish I had a better camera, don't get me wrong, the camera is alright for most things but...
Anyway, you get the general idea.
Now, as the kit come with whitewalls as decals, the question is, on the '40 Ford pickup....

Whitewalls or not whitewalls?
