My mom's 1975 5.7L Monza Towne Coupe after it was hit by a chimmeny
After:
My monza at the races.
Front wheel well, after taking out the crispy naughty bits.
My buddy Jason with a leaf blower.
I got a rear anti-sway bar and KYB gas shocks.
My plasma cutter kicks ass! Here's a stensil and 1/8" steel plate cut
for a gussett.
Yucky solid, grooved, burnt '75 Monza rotors.
Ouch! Gotta get that fixed... after I put on all my speed parts!
The proof: authentic California only 5.7L badges. The emmissions sticker
has similar opines. Also says 2 degrees advance spark timing.
You can see the frame crack just left of center of the picture. Several
"structural" sheets meet at the rear of the front lower control arms.
There's really nothing to hold it on, so it cracks, putting more strain on
the front K member. Eventualy, the lower control arm would have fallen
off if nothing was done. I had a similar crack on the other side.
Frame repaired. I welded the perimeter and skip welded all the seams so
the stronger gussett won't pull apart the many wafers of sheetmental
holding the car together as per factory spec.
Nice, vented '80 Monza rotors. I had to grind the spindal a bit to
get clearance. Much thicker than the '75.
