The car looks fantastic!!!

Kind of looks like a 2-door GTP from the side now though...

Anyway, excellent work

Thank you all for the compliments. Now I want to drive it more, but the upcoming winter is going to stop that.
Do you store it over winter?

I haven't stored it during winters so far, but I plan to do so this winter. It pretty much came down to the fact that I've invested too much blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention money) into the Monte to drive it during the winter.

Thanks again for all the compliments. KidSpace, I plan on fixing the body a bit, install a new spoiler, and do a thing or two that I've never seen done on a 5th gen just to make it interesting

All he needs is an unpainted cowl
