Here is a Monza I am working on.  Its a combo of 2 baggie kits ai picked up at some model swapmeets The chassis , suspension & wheel tub section is from the Mustang II kit.  Tires, Wheels and engine are from the parts box.   This is what I have so far.

Can we see the underside? Did you attach the front subframe to the front of the interior, ot did you make a new chassis for it? It sits JUST RIGHT!!!

 The second picture shows the chasis...its straight from the Mustang II  no changes.   The interior tub is modified just at the wheel wells...i just replaced the monza wheel well section with the mustang  and then added the Monza rear section back on to locate the interior tub in its proper location....basically anything in Yellow is from the mustang kit.

I have a Soft Spot for these GM H-Bodies. They are really fun cars in 1:1 scale, and I'm building one in 1/25 too. Your progress looks excellent so far, but for the wheel choice, I would think about Centerlines or Weld DragLites. Those look like 90s hitech to me.
