Default Found an old pic of my 1970 Monte.

This was taken in about 2000 when the paint still looked good. I had the body redone and repainted in 1993. Its painted the factory Fathom Blue. Unfortunately the clearcoat is coming off and it doesn't look that good anymore. It has another paint job in its future.

Is that a Busch Car, becuase it looks like it has a bush growing through the fender!!! LOL!

That is a nice looking car right there, thank you for sharing it with us. There is not a better joy in my book than driving a car you've restored.

Thanks guys. It will get painted the same color. It currently has white racing stripes kind of like the Chevelles had and I don't know if I will keep them or not.

Very nice! It makes me sad cause I think about the black 72 that my Fiance sold to get his 69 L78 Chevelle.

You definitely need to get your 70 Monte looking like that pic again. Too bad the paint job didn't hold up.

Any particular reason the paint job didn't hold up?
