My 86 monte SSgot it chris, did a wright up for him
ok so realisticly with only a few month befor the snow falls i decided i am going to prolong the monte from comming out of retirement.... so body work will commence... here's is a pic of some of what i'm up against
this damage was done long befor i owned it... the ins claim and police report where in the glove box when i bought the car... some one was pissed at who ever owned this car at the time! and it wasn't properly taken care of... the rust isn't supper bad is just a hair more than surface si what i'm going to do is clean it up some more get some rust converter spray it down, then clean it up bondo any remainng pitting and paint it... the whole car will be redone paint wise... wish me luck.. for now i'm thinking just flat black or maybe even gloss all depends on how i decide to go

yesterday i did some more work last night, pulled off the conection to the fuse block and removed the rest of the wires i want/dont need then put wire loom on all the stuff i'm keeping, got rid of my cruise controll wiring next i'm going to get some wire wheels, and some cans of black paint and work on the fire wall and front frame section and a metal plate to bolt in place of the heater box
