Default Hello from Michigan

Just dropping a line to introduce my self , just bringing the Monte Carlo out of storage for the winter. Curious to see what modifications are being done to these cars , and thought this would be a good place to start. I've owned a few of these , both front and rear wheel drive , my current one is a 1998 , it's my daily driver in the summer , the paint has just started to bubble under the gas cap which seems very common for these , but she's a good running 3.8 Z34 black on black , haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with it yet , so I thought I'd start here.

Welcome! I'm also in Michigan - just took mine out of storage too actually. I'm a little biased but black on black is a nice look.

We do have quite a bit planned in Michigan this year if you're interested. First meet is coming up; info here > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/me...-2014-a-46709/. Keep an eye on the Meets & Gatherings section for more.

Thank You for the Welcome All , looks like that repair came out nice , I've never seen that ground effect package , I like it. My screen name is my middle name (I've never had it say that that was being used before , don't know what Mom and Dad we're thinking). I will try to get some pictures up once I learn how ? Any recommendations on repair would be nice. Mine isn't that far along, the first piece of paint just fell off this year.
