1971Stage1 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Is that going to be a custom front end or are you making a standard Monte Carlo. You've peaked my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amp3r3z Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Im trying to make it as close as possible to a monte carlo ls. I think that im going to leave it like this I could fix the bottom lights and under the headlights to make it a more or less standard front. I just didnt wana spend more money on the conversion kit than I did on the model kit. this is a good lil projkt to shake the rust off after a 7year break from building.

1971Stage1 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've never seen a conversion kit for the blue car you are showing. Your off to a fantastic start. My first car was a marron 1983 CL. It looked like the blue one you have pictured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvymtl Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Really love the LS front end i have been searching for the conversion but after seeing this i might have to just grab another just to do my own 88 I thught it was going to be cheaper to convert the 1:1 to SS status when it is repainted Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
