Default Photo shoot 07 and 02 Monte's

We did this shoot and wanted to take the time to post a few shots. This 07 SS is Sam's, a forum members Monte, user name "Bahdeets" and my 02 Monte. Matt Snell co-owner of Paul's Auto and 4x4 from Sandy Utah is the mechanic pictured. He engineered and custom built both of our Turbocharged Monte's. Sam's Monte is absolutely sick, one can go on for days on his mods. Many of the mods are just unheard of and make my Monte look like a kids play toy. Anyway we did a winding Utah canyon run lots of curves (very cool) and a few shots (about 700of them, no lie) as we had an awesome photographer with us "Christy" from Cheapshotsllc.com" and her videographer. Need to finish the video edits and will post on YouTube. Sam's is a one off billeted DART block, I believe a destroked 427 down from about 1100+ whp to about 950 whp. Has a very very large Garrett Turbocharger and a trick Water to Air Intercooler. Anyway I could go on, was fun and an honor to ride next to his Monte.

Hey Trewn, Hi. Will talk to Sam tomorrow for sure will mention you said hello and for him to drop you a line. Figured it was time to get these shots posted. Here are some pictures I took today, Usually will clay bar it once a year and then use Meguiars Ultimate Polymer liquid wax. In all fairness when I had the Black stripes painted on at the body shop, had the paint cleaned up and 2 more layers of clear coating applied. Made it really pop. Just try to stay on top of it now. Thanks much, Sam's car is still undergoing work mods for the bugs a build like his will have.
