Well, I'm getting some progress done with my Monte finally, if you can guess what the car is beside mine, you get to gloat about how much you know. Here's the chain of events thus far:

Where me paint go?









Still got some bondo work to do on the hood, other than that it's ready for paint soon... Probably spray paint. ha!





Now for what I just did tonight lol









So the engine is out, now it's time to take the transmission off and replace the torque converter. I have a 2750 stall ZZP converter waiting to go in, and all new solenoids for the transmission.

Thank you and good night. lol

Looks like a late 60s mustang fastback to me. Nice to see you making some progress on the monte.

My first thought was an Amx Javelin but the pics are kinda dark for me on my computer but after some thought about it I'll say it's a Ford Maverick

if anyone guesses correctly it would be on pure luck.... the pics are of no help, hell we dont even know what year it is (looks to be old, but cant be sure).

my guess is Nissan 240 or Volkswagen...
