    Monte Carlo SS project.

    Well, I finally have some time to put up a few pics of the car for you guys to see. I traded my 68 Chevy C10 straight up for it. It's an 85 Monte SS. Sat in storage for a little over 20 years. Nice low mile car. Previous owner was an idiot. Spray bomb white on some trim, did a shitty job. Kicked the left quarter. Other than that, it's. A seriously solid car. Doors were gone but all G body doors are junk.

    Anyways...

    That's where I ended yesterday. Changed the rear to an 87-88 style. I had the car all the way apart to put the doors on, take them back off then paint jams. Back on. The doors were on and off the car about 8 times. Got all body lines almost perfect. The hood is a steel 2" from AMD. Perfect fitment. Would definitely buy from there again. Worth the money. Painted the inside of the fenders and under side of the hood then assembled again. Many many hours in prep to get it looking like this.

    Next is the Grand National rear end. Then the engine swap.

    I considered pulling the 2.2 from my S-10. But I like my 32mpg beater.

    Looks awesome Rob, these cars have such a classic design.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah, I absolutely hate body work. I did all of this except the huge dent. I had help from a buddy on that. That was the pic on the trailer, taking it to his place.

    Yeah, I already gave that a thought but the black car I bought had a fresh GN rear in it already. Otherwise I would have done 9" I still may sooner or later.

    No, Bob, no sprinkles!!!
