Default Not so new; but new here
I have been in the w-body community for years as well as the G-body community! I joined here because well the old Monte forum (2000Montecarlo.net) is sadly falling apart. So I decided that since I am on mymonte.com and montecarloss.com and so on. I might as well join here it seems like there is a lot going on here and so I am looking forward to getting to know you all. Well enough words here is a couple pics:

OLD to NEW ordering:

(^^^CLICK TO VIEW SLIDE SHOW^^^)



Starting some suede ideas. Full sueded interior to be done by me. Headliner and wrapped dash with french sewn seams to be done by me. Just about all the plastic pieces to be wrapped in suede. Lower panels will either be left as is or possibly painted or wrapped in leather for easier clean up.

Doing your own work creates blood sheed :p

Shaved Trunk Lock







LED Cupholders


This is what it looks like with just one led lit. (there are three in each cupholder)

Last Year March Time Frame





Sorry for the long list of pictures but atleast there is a slide show. I will have to read and see if I just violated any rules with this thread.

Looks good. I like the cupholder light. Cool idea. No one will bother you about the pictures. We all do it here.
