Future of the Monte Carlo: LSA Build Overview / What am I Going to Do With It? (Plus Some Backstory)

What happens here

The presenter highlights interior details including a floor-mounted shifter for the 6L80/90 transmission, modified from a 4L80 part, featuring a custom Punisher/Monte Carlo logo knob. He points out the CTS-V gas pedal, which he made compatible by swapping a couple of pins. He also mentions the absence of a working tachometer and the dashboard needing an upgrade. For the rear, the car is equipped with a 12-bolt Moser axle with C-clip eliminators, 90s Hotchkis control arms, and poly body mounts, though the body is currently misaligned on the frame due to an installation error (all mounts were removed simultaneously instead of one side at a time).

Goal: Describe the interior modifications, rear axle setup, and chassis details, including existing issues.

but it slips i've never gotten to use this thing this thing has not been driven like a regular vehicle since 2014 before i paid that place to put the four speed in it and then freaking goober it all up and now that's gonna change right now it's got the 6l80 in it and the shifter is just from like a 4l80 or something and i kind of made that knob and i feel focus on there i put like the punishers called the monte carlo thing and put it in a little insert there which i thought was pretty cool it's got a cts-v gas pedal which i was able to make work by switching a couple pins around from the truck one i don't know if that's a common thing but uh it worked for me this tack doesn't do anything there's nothing in here anymore not yet i have a new dash face for this it's got new carpet i had to build a new tunnel for the bigger transmission um it's got a 12 bolt with c-clip eliminators like moser axles um it's pretty basic there's like some boxed the factory control arms at the bottom are like boxed and the uppers are like 90s hotchkiss ones this thing actually handles pretty dang good for what it is but it's funny i put poly body mounts on it with my friend bill or pretty much bill put poly mounts on it while i handed him tools and we didn't know that you were supposed to do one side at a time so he just unbolted all of them and then threw them all in well the body's no longer centered on the frame so that's something i have to fix too like look how look how close this is in here i can't fit my fingers between here but over here i got like you know good good bit of room so yeah body's crooked on the frame actually there's like a little three quarters hole in the frame and the body under here that is used for alignment for that so fixing this won't really be a big deal i just never got around to it because the engine was always acting up and the last thing on my mind was to like make the body straight on the frame again i mean you can kind of see that it's it's off crooked there i'm not sure exactly where this alignment hole is at it's somewhere in here it's got the 12-volt that's a pypes street pro exhaust system like regular summit catalog ones three inch stainless and x-pipe it actually sounds really good i'll fire it up here in a bit if it's not dead it's got a tanks inc um efi swap tank in it um that install went pretty well it was very easy to do but word to the wise do not put tons and tons of rtv on the gasket for the sending unit because i had a problem…
