Hey Joe whatever happened to yours/QUOTE]
Chip, last place I knew of my Monza is sitting in a corner of Danny Lattimore’s shop in Va. An acquaintance of Danny bought it from me as a roller back in the Fall of 2014. The new owner may have abandoned his intended project with the car. Danny may interject
here ?
Lyn, I ran a 28.5 M/T bias ply tire on mine. Did the usual 2” trim on the wheel wells and rolled the upper lip some. Never had any issues. And yes, Billy is correct Philbrick runs a 30” radial on his car.

'77 and later Monzas and other H-bodies have more in common with 3rd gen F-bodies than with the Vega platform. The unfortunate thing is they are not that light. Shipping weights with a V8 were all mid 2900 lbs. Several 3rd gen F bodies are that light and much easier to work on. Unfortunately, the 305 2bbl was never offered in a 3rd gen F-body.
