I appreciate that. Thank you very much!

This model is before they did electronic transmission things. 2000 and under I believe are all pre electronics. So it's all manual

It uses torsion bars. Not ideal. And coilovers if i remember correctly.

Thanks for the fast response How did you get the coilovers to work? They sure need to be relocated Any advise?

@@rugomi unfortunately we never got that far. The project never made it further than episode 2. What should have happened whas to cut the body to clear the whole bravada chassis insteadof grafting them together. More difficult in some ways and easier in others.

Thanks again We will keep following your proyects Some of them are not easy to execute But the engineering is good Keep up the good work

Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully i have something to show everyone around christmas.

It wasn't finished. It was parted out and sold off in pieces. The pieces then went on to pay for an addition I put on my house. I wouldn't build it the same way again. Stitching the frames together was not the best way to go. I should have just fit the car body into a complete frame like a denali.

It sold a few months ago.

Originally 400 to 500. Projects done now tho. Never completed. Parted out and sold.

@@thousanddollarcarguy I'm completing a similar build on an s10 platform. I know the awd system can handle that power. I've read a lot on nv3500s so I'm curious, did you ever come across any compelling info that the transmission can hold that sort of power? It's reportidly factory rated at 315 lb/ft, of which I will be way over that. Curious if you've come across anyone else running serious power through an nv3500.

@@whitewalls8778 hey..How did your build come along. Im curious to how much power you were able to get on the nv3500 or if you ever finished it..

Sorry never finished. Hit some hard times and had to sell it.

@@thousanddollarcarguy Imj sorry to hear that..Im trying to hold on and not sell mine but I understand

It was sold years ago now. Sorry to say. But the funds paid for a lot of other things to happen

Nope. It was sold a while ago. Sorry amigo

@@thousanddollarcarguy thats ok I have been wanting to do this for a few years now..you actually helped me a bunch thanks

The project was abandoned. It was parted out and sold off. I would recommend using only 1 frame. Either the trailblazer ss or a Denali/escalade. Shorten the wheelbase and fit it under a g body. Doing so would save so much headache

@@thousanddollarcarguy ok, thanks for the quick reply - and the heads up, both very much appreciated. I enjoy your channel so best wishes for your current & future projects.

@@paulbecker9426 I have a few episodes filmed of the next build. But I don't want to start releasing them till I'm further along. Thanks for watching!

@@thousanddollarcarguy I’m building an all wheel drive 6th gen Monte Carlo and putting a corvette Zr1 Ls9 engine in it

Does anyone sell tubular kmember for a tbss? I’m thinking it may be better to adapt kmember from an awd chassis to fit the fbody frame so you don’t have to channel the gbody

Sorry man the car was sold a looong Time ago.

I sold it about a year ago. The money made helped pay for the addition on my house. If I did it all over again I'd do it much more differently.

Man I would have loved to see it finished

@@justinw523 I might do another in the future when current projects calm down. But I have something else I want to make and before then. Who knows

Unfortunately it sold almost 2 years ago. My suggestion us to skip all the garbage I did and get a Denali and frame and use that instead.

If this was to be built again id just stick with an auto trans. I would have set the whole monte carlo on top of the bravada frame and just bolted an ls to the stock trans. I would have cut sheet metal away till it sat flush on the frame and then welded in patch panels overtop. Would have been much faster in my mind.

@@thousanddollarcarguy my friend has a 1976 Caprice Classic and he’s turning it into a donk. He also wants to Awd swap it but I’m worsening how would that work since sinks have big rims🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿.

@@joeythekid5042 it would actually make it easier and have more clearance for everything. Best thing to do is get an 02 denali drivetrain. Strongest cheapest ones you can get. Use the transfer case, transmission, and differentials from that.

@@thousanddollarcarguy and I can just take the whole body and sit it on top of it right I’d just have to cut space for the drivetrain.

@@joeythekid5042 thats one way. Or piece the denali or escalade parts in 1 at a time. Id just put the whole car on top of a modified denali chassis

Sold about 2 or 3 years ago to fund a home expansion.

Dam So did yall get it running or naw?or did buyer finish it?

@@diamondvalentino4218 worse. The buyer bought it and parted it out. But it did fund a 450sq ft addition to my room so for me it was worth doing

Havent gotten that far yet. Theres a company that makes a bolt on 3rd pedal for the clutch that's around 150$ for the assembly. I think were going with that. When we do. Im sure ill do a video on just that as its a crucial piece.

@@thousanddollarcarguy are you guys selling? i saw one of these on fb

Yes probably

No

@Thousanddollarcarguy you still got it though right?

@richwil5281 no it was parted out and sold almost a year and a half ago.

@Thousanddollarcarguy if you dont mind me asking why? You was doing good

@@richwil5281 1. I didn't like the way the ls was fitting in it. Like there was hardly any room and it started to look like the firewall was gonna have to get cut apart. Then the area where I was building it was getting torn down to make way for a big addition on the house. Knowing that the house and my family come first made me step away from cars entirely for a year or so. When I sold it nobody wanted it the way it was but everyone wanted parts. So it got parted out and then I built my addition. Now another year + later I have a 30x25 slab and a 25x20 carport on top of it temporarily until I can build the actual shop. There's been a few new projects going on. But since almost all of my money goes into the structure side of things I can't afford to do a lot on my own cars. Leon. From Leon'sgarageadventures uses the space a lot for his projects and we've documented a bunch of his builds. Currently I'm back working on my ls turbo festival on the slab and that's progressing nicely.
