Re: 85 monte carlo SS

Thanks for the comments guys.. the insperation for this monte carlo came from my hommie that moved here from down south.. but the color is a little different.. just like Jada's DB&B but with ALOT more detail.. and a better brand.. I will have final pictures as soon as im finished with the engine and wiring up the amp.. and the interior.. some time down the road im going to put orange neons.. possibly underglow.. doubtful.. mainly trunk and interior and mabye the engine bay..

Re: 85 monte carlo SS

like i said.. its about 50-60% complete.. there is still ALOT of work to be done.. I know some will like it when its finished. I have done everything with exact detail as I could.. from the front lift.. to the rear lift.. the drive shaft still spins with the rear wheels.
