COMPLETED: Non-Lowriding, Non-"Gangsta", Non-"Phat" Perfectly normal '77 Monte Carlo

From the Revelle Snap-tite Lowrider kit. I wanna do as many 73-77 GM A-bodies as I can find, and this is pretty much the only Monte on the market, so I thought what the hell. Once again I am FLOORED by the quality of Duplicolor paint, I really need to use it more often. The camera doesn't really do this paintjob justice, it's incredibly smooth and shiny, and no clearcoat! Just a good polish.

Ride height was glued to stock, and the ghetto rims were replaced with Crager S/S'. Let me know what you think, this only took me a week to throw together!





EDIT: Sorry, pics fixed

Looks awsome!! What did you do with the vinyl top tho? The kit rims are..what, like 12s? Suck so much. Those cragars are kiler!! Keep up the great work!

Oh, right, forgot to mention the modifications I did. I filled the opera windows and sanded the vinyl top down. I like FULL vinyl tops, but the 1/4 vinyl is ugly. Sure took a while to make smooth

Cool, now weather it and you've got one of those old cars that sit downtown.

That is awesome John. I like to see someone step out and build stock, the way they were meant to be.
