here are some more of it with the damages it had on it when it went in to the shop.

if you can see it on your screen all of the drawing on the side of the car was from them shipping the car. All the black lines are dents,and or areas that needed repairs in teh paint etc...

ok that is all of them, this shows the rear fender tha tthey had to fix the dents and also teh paint on it. the fender was actually pushed in some on the rear end and also the drivers door.

Dont you love how well they treat your cars when they are yours and not thiers LOL


but it has been sugested that it might be time to move on to a diffrent car. Im not sure if this is what im goign to do yet. but might be looking at gettign atruck in stead of the monte Just havent decided for sure yet.

Also will depend on how it gose after i get it back.

Still has to go in to the stereo shop to get the screens back in the head rest adn also to get the tranny done also.

Thier mechanic is thinking it might be the Cat. plugged up So with any luck this is what it is Other wise it will be tryign to find out what is wrong with it .

oooh...flames on a white car do not look good unless they're not like red or something...gotta go like silver or grey ...i haven't seen flames on a white car i've liked yet...i still think the best flame job i've seen is the jeff gordon edition monte carlo with the ghost flames...ghost flames are awesome!

Space Thanks.

a612662 no they ahvent yet but the Ins. company i have is doing the work for us and then goign after them along with the J.A.G. office here Localy

As far as the flame go Belive me i actually thought of that also Till i found out wha tit was goign to cost for what i wanted to do. I actually wanted to do the flames in a diffrent manner. wanted to paint the whole car with a clear pearl so it would make the car look perl white then where the flames are they would not be painted with the pearl coat jsut a straight clear coat and then i would clear over the whole thing again to make sure it didnt get screwed up easily.
But by doing it this way it would appear as if the car was just plain white till you looked at it in the right light Producing a real true life Ghost flame inthe paint. Instead of a painted over illustion that Most are.

But if i chose to keep it and all gose well when i get my house with a Grage in it i will paint it my self then I used to do it way back when i was younger so it would be fun to do it agian after this long LOL

As far as the Pic's after it is done i plan to do those also.

Mickey,
Hard to believe they beat your Monte up that badly. Do these guys take any pride in their work? (probably not)




oooh...flames on a white car do not look good unless they're not like red or something...gotta go like silver or grey ...i haven't seen flames on a white car i've liked yet...

Josh, does this go for any white car with flames or just white Montes?
