My 1970 Monte Carlo. White
I'm new to this, and basically have no idea what i'm doing. I got this car from my dad on my 16th birthday, just this past september. I washed, waxed, buffed, and polished her up the day i first saw her. I have a long way to go 'till she's exactly what I want..
Bone stock. Has Turbo-Fire 350 with 4-barrel carb, backed by a TH-350 tranny. Not sure what the rear gears are, but she'll light 'em up like its nothing. Power steering, power breaks (disc in front), a/c, and pushbutton AM radio. Some paint is missing, and some rust, but the car is 40 years old. Over the winter, and spring I hope to get all the body work done, and repainted.
I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for a trusted paint & body work shop. I live in cornfield, Iowa so we don't have a lot around.
Grandma's Sazuki kinda ruins the picture..
