I like photographing cars and trucks. Like at a car show. But I've been known to snap pics of people's Montes setting in Wally World's parking lot. You should see the other people stare at you.

I started a scrap book for all the Montes I took pictures of. But then I got lazy and stopped keeping up on the book. I still took photos, just didn't bother putting them in the scrap book I started.

I just wish I was better at taking photos. They never seem to turn out very good?

The only pic of a Monte other than my own came real easy. It was parked directly infront of my house, and is owned by a visitor to one of my neighbours. I took the pic because of the rims on the car.

Sorry. The pic was taken a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it around since. I saw the same car a couple months ago when it was clear and sunny. The sandstone metallic color looks really good in the sun. Too bad it was cloudy when I took the pics.

One of my first is my R/C hobby...





This is my buddies 11 second camaro that we built from basically scratch. He bought the body and we added everything from there. I get the credit for the power plant the is puching right at 550 HP.








This is the Nova that was left to my son by his grandfather. Starting next spring it is going under the wrench for a total restoration. I have 7 years to get it done so I know I will do it right. He wants it done just like "Papa" wanted to do it. And seeing I had alot of time invested in this now I know what all he wanted to be done.

Hey Chris! Great hobby.
The first pic, the silver truck, had me fooled for a second. I thought it was a full size truck with huge massive rims on it.
The 75 Nova reminds me of the 75 Nova one of my cousins bought off my uncle. He painted it racing yellow, and modded the heck out of the engine. Huge blower coming through the hood, all high performance racing parts, engine all chromed out. Won tons of awards. His wife made him sell it when their first kid was born. Priorities.
