Very cool. Does the car have an automatic or manual transmission? Are you building the engine?

It's an automatic. The engine was built about 8 years ago but I'm going to go through and replace all the gaskets and upgrade to a 4 barrel carb

Sounds like fun. You might post some pictures of the engine when you get a chance. What brand are the wheels on your Monza? They look really cool.

Thank you. I will try to post more pictures but for some reason it says that they are too large. The wheels are a unilug but it looks like they came off of a 70s celica

If you've never taken the plastic seat backing off of the passenger seat, then you might find one there.
