hey Chris. dont forget how ya leraned when you see the up comming kid just trying to catch a break.

I lernd the same way i had some of the best folks i knew teach me wha ti know of cars. and also body work.
At one time i had started to learn every part of working on cars just so i could know how it was done. I have done pretty much everythign at one time or another and the one thing i havent done that i really want to do now is the intereior stuff. But i have figured some of it out on my own also.

But very nice paint job. do you have any plans to pinstrip it at the break ?
I cant really see in the photos if you have already or not. But i think it would make it look real nice also.

Im trying to get my hood done then it will be time for the flame

 

I have access to all my Grandad's old spray guns, and I would love to learn how to paint, I would love to be able to paint my own cars someday. I might try and get ahold of the Wyotech just outta Laramie here and see if I can't just get some bodywork/paint classes sometime without anything else.

 

my dad and i painted our 1950 Chevy truck right out in the yard.... isn't perfect, but looks alright. m ydad used to own a body shop back in the 70;s and 80's..

 

k the monte is all back together here she is when i pulled her out of the shop!!!!!

That looks terrific!

Congrats on doing such a great job.

I'm predicting a monte of the month nomination.

 

thanks i really appreciate it ! monte of the month would be nice

 

Wow. The Monte looks great.

I agree though on the pinstripe to break the colors up. Like a bright red? Green? Am I close?

 

yeah i havn't decided on a final color to break the two up i was thinking either a orangish red like the color of the factory ss and bowtie on the00-05or even just a straight blackor even a really light blue who knows maybe even green i will sleep on it i guess lol

 

I would go with black or a dark grey/charcoal. It will give the lines a crisp look without drawing your eyes straight to the color of the stripe.

 

thanks for the suggestion i am really leaning towards a black stripe cuz then it will tie it in to all the trim since they are all black
