1977 Monte Carlo "Sunset of Eternity" (10 pics)

I guess people lost interest in the Lowrider contest so I made a thread about the first model I've completed in 2004. The side and rear windows were made with clear plastic sheet. It's a Monogram "Wheels of Fire" kit. Paint is Duplicolor Maple automotive paint (actual Monte Carlo color option) with Duplicolor clear. The rear deck has Hoppin' Hydros 8" speakers with Detail Master grilles and a Detail Master (I think) Lowrider plaque. There is a photoetched key and keychain set in the ignition. The chain-link steering wheel is fron a Monogram '60 Impala kit. The wheels are Pegasus Daytons. Thanks for looking.

nice car

thats really awesome

Very nice paint job!
did you use metal foil for window trims and wheel arches?
it works very well. :thumbsup:

Thank you guys! Yes I used Bare Metal Foil! :)

nice job tonio. Looks hot, very cool, clean, and well built. How do you get those duplicolor paints to go on soo smooth? Even with perfect conditions, and p-mans how paint thread, I can't get it that nice.

I shake the paint for bout 2 to 3 minutes straight right after I warm the can in hot tap water for about 3 minutes.:)

Really like this Monte bro. You gotta be teh best painta evah on the intraw3b :) Very cool colors, detailing and wheels.

I dig the lowriders. Too bad no one is responding in the Lowrider Contest thread. I don't think the majority of people on AF dig lowriders, or American models. That's ok though. To each their own. aye? Some of us appreciate beautiful builds no matter who made the kit or what country the car comes from.

That's awesome Antonio! Looks like it should be a car in Lowrider Magazine or Boulevard. Reminds me of the 'Tony's Dream' 1970 Monte.

Tonio Seven, you kicked ass on that; I couldn't tell if it was real or not.
Mad work man.

That's a very clean street ride. I think I might try one in light metallic blue with the chrome D's. Great job!

Sweet build Tonio

:iagree:

oh!
is that the revell snap kit? have this one too but never thought that something like THIS can be made of THAT!
where did you get the rims and the steering wheel from?

Thank you all. Yes it is the Revell snap kit. The steering wheel came from a Revell '60 Impala lowrider kit. The chassis is designed to be height-adjustable. I got the rims from one of my local hobby shops. The 9 progress pics are below. Thanks again all! :smile:

Very nice build.

I love the mostly stock/slightly modified look of the car.
