I'm still a novice at orchestrating the software ... but, I did get some decent photos of my Monte on a Web Page.

If the site will pull one and make me a signature ... I'd be very grateful.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to all the comments and remarks.

send a PM to craig...., BLACK ATTACK

 

Is the bow-tie on the rear window new? I don't remember that. Nice pics!

 

Sweet Monte! I like the vinyl top, that is for sure very unique!

 

Yes. The Bow-Tie is a new graphic. Look closely at the tail pipe and you'll see another Bow-Tie too ... Chrome Exhaust Tip. It was too big oa a diameter to ust the set screws that came with it ... so I had it tack-welded on in a couple of places.

Now, I'm just going to do some of the things I can afford.
Like adding a coat of paint to the calipers and scrubbing the grunge off the rims.
Sorta waitin' for a little warmer weather to tackle those projects.

 

[align=center]Hi Rick,[/align][align=center]Thanks for the Web link of pictures of your unique Monte Carlo.[/align][align=center]I've never seen one with a vinyl top/convertible look.[/align][align=center]It looks classic - different.[/align][align=center][:-][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Oh, I like cars that are different then the rest.

Nice pictures, I like the uniqueness of your monte

 

It's grown on me. I think the PO has the Vinyl Top added-on to keep the leather from baking and getting brittle because she would have to leave her car in a wide-open parking area with no cover or shade of any kind, all day long while she was at work. My guess is that the Vinyl kept the interior a little bit cooler than having the Sun reflect off the Beige top for hours on end.

Thankfully, she was good about having the Monte's Oil and Filter changed at intervals close to the end of the working life of Mobil-1. But, woefully lax about some of the other scheduled maintenance. The Air Filter was Stock and clogged. plus the Dealer had NO record of the car being serviced for the recommended scheduled maintenance items after it left the lot since she took delivery.

I'm up-to-date on all that stuff; now!

I'm waiting for the snow and ice season to end before I do a few little cosmetic Mod's.
I'm going to paint the Brake Calipers.
Change the Tranny filter.

And enjoy a unique-looking Chevy Monte Carlo that has already earned its stripes on-the-road.
I got the Headlight Dimmer fixed.
The Cruise Control behaved like a champ ofer a couple hundred miles on the Highway.

Summer is coming and the "Detailing" of the engine compartment will begin!

 

nice car, are those impala rims? looks good!

 

I don't know ... they could be Impala Rims ... came with the deal. They were so dirty at first I thought they were wheel covers until I spotted the all-around disc brakes.
