I have done all of this Because of EV1 here has restored my interest in my Monte Carlo once again!

Heres the Final Stages and the finished results!

I just brought it home today...

It not only looks new again... But I did 1 minor change and 1 significant 1.

Can you tell what it is?
Cpl final touchs before I coul bring her home...

Heres the end result!
Home safe and Sound!





Almost good as new....
Thanks to the MCF and the MMCC and all the new friends I have made here I'd like to say thanks for restoreing my Love for my Monte Carlo Z-34!

This is the end of the Pics...lol

But the story....
Doesn't end here.. I have a few other things I'd like to do before the summer is out...
I just have to wait to regrow my Wallet....lol

By the way....
All the rust areas.... Were cut out and replaced with fresh new Metal....

Just a little FYI...
It was only painted from the doors back...
The front end was never touched...

I think they matched the whole car really well!
The old paint... Looks just as good as the new paint!
Wouldn't you agree?

Buyt I do have future plans to replace and repaint the hood... (To many stone chips)

You put on the different spoiler on it. It looks really good. Also clean.
