In today's video, I'll be tackling some much needed maintenance on my 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS! I'll also be doing a number of suspension, steering and brake upgrades, including a full set of Aldan American double adjustable coilovers! One of the biggest things that's bothered me about this car was the way it handled, thanks in part to a general lack of upkeep over the years, incorrect tires and worn out steering components. I'll be tackling all of that and upgrading what I can, including a new wheel and tire set, to get this thing driving better than new and looking awesome! Thanks for watching!

I like the rims. That is one of my favorite gm designs. I’m an old school guy and I think older cars look better with a thicker side wall. I did the jeep xj shaft swap on my k5 blazer and it was awesome.

When these cars were new they handled second to NONE!!!! I bought a used one a few weeks ago that steers and handles like garbage It has after market springs and control arms on it and I am hoping it is an alignment issue. I am not sure why they changed from factory as I said these cars were a dream when new.

My year ones are in my little brother's garage still, I need to quit slacking and get my MCSS on the road. Mines an 87' T-top that iss black with gold decals and some of the light saddle interior still going to be putting it back to that for sure. I didn't know that combo existed from the factory until I saw mine, now I've seen one like mine in town in good shape that's was for sale not sure now though, I'm in Oklahoma.

Great video! I was wondering about the type of headers you have? I have an 86 SS and am in the process of doing some extra mechanical work. I have older headers on it but can't seem to make a decision on the type to get. I'll also be redoing the exhaust as well. It has a 355 in it now and it's mild. I ordered a new cam kit for it and am looking forward to getting it done. Would love to know where you got the headers from and any other advice you may have in that department. Love the steering column as well! Great job! Thanks!

“If it were an hour, no one would watch it!”….. Derek from Vice Grip Garage…. “Oh, here, hold my cold snack…I know a 1944 Dodge that hasn’t run since 1965 because it blew a hole in the block and has 6 of 8 pistons left… I’m gonna fix on her and drive her 2,600 miles home in a blizzard” video is 1h 49min….. with 600,000 views…. Now, I’m not saying Vice Grip Garage is in any way better, or Kyle has “lost it”… but I do find it interesting that Kyle thinks an hour is too long and VGG fans can watch 6 videos in 8 hours and not get bored.
