I probably need to start a different thread but here is an update on 200 dollar monte.....been busy but interior is going back in now. new fenders bought now im just trying to get interior done so I can move to the paint and body
lets just say she was in some serious need of correct repairs....or lot less drug enduced repairs imo down to the core
some stuff going back in
use up 18" vette wheels out back

 

all inside illumination is like this now

 

Interesting interior, never saw a 2 tone with light gray/black, were those the original leather seats?

 

Interior long story...
grill copy..well...not real happy on overall finish for edges due to being hand made but the principal is there and pretty simple to fab. Gonna get on the car a tweak it as needed. I didn't have a tracing so went by my calibrated eyeball to get what I have. I'll dial it in eventually and will be cnc so the finish I will be happier about.
thanks

 

Interesting to see how this project keeps moving. The blue gauges look cool!

 

Thank you...I did all illumination so to match as I hate everything else not lighting the same color. Switches heater control etc. I did a mock up of that grill above
and it looked like complete crap so had to redo it. I now have what I feel is a good layout. Will have one for myself and 2 to put on ebay to recover material cost. I hope to have it straight enough in month to shoot the paint.

 

well I see nobody on the forum has really had much on here. I should have started a build post but didn't around 3 or so months ive been into this car but here are some updates. ive also acquired 3 high total high sport kits and made a lot of one off items for the car
thanks

 

Wow this is really coming along nicely.
I have seen some of the stuff you posted on FB too.
So what color will you go with once you get the thing ready for paint?
I was in a salvage yard today and they had about 9 of the 6th Gens there some were real basket cases too.
Last year I completed my interior over the last several years I cannibalized about 8 Monte's to get the interior I wanted. I keep working on it to get it where I want it to be. I had hopes of completing the Hood and scoop but to much stuff got in the way this last year.

 

Hey thanks man. It'll be a sonic blue pearl metallic with the standard high sport silver on the bottom. Yeah our one yard we have left and only has 3 montes and of course just plain jane models. The community on face book has been a lot of help. Couple guys gave me smoking deal on some high sport pieces
