How to waste 10 months of time
I came across this article and was a little shocked at how immature people can be. Honestly, whats with these people? Why do they care so much about a car thats not even theirs? All i see is incompetent people playing automotive judge. I look at it as.. unless youve driven or owned this car your opinion is invalid.
a BUNCH of Negative Nancy's..
You have to respect this guy for doing something out of the box.. !
Whats your opinion?
(makes me want to do a rwd conversion and a ls1 swap
)

I think it looks pretty sweet
Not something I'd ever do but damn, gotta appreciate that much work.
Some of those comments are ridiculous though, BUT, it's the internet. Everyone can troll at something they know they could never accomplish. Doubt most of them would even say anything to the owner if they ever met face to face

The whole article is to create a buzz. It all creates activity on the site it's on. 90% of the people who make comments are just trolling like 01 monte said. That is why so many of them hide behind made up screen names. I do like the monte camino but every time i see it i wonder why the builder didnt cover up the strut caps or color match them. I think iy would look cool with the wheel well smoothed off.
How to waste 10 months of time

Take a 2004 Monte Carlo LS with the smaller 3.4 liter engine and turn it into an El Camino. Poof! 10 months gone. While this guy put a lot a work to this car (it even has a trunk in the bed – so there Ridgeline!) why wouldn't you start with the SS with the 3.8 supercharged engine. Better yet, why waste the time on the Monte. Get something with rear-wheel drive at least. Oh well. I thought this would be a good laugh to those of you that love the Monte Carlo so much. Now you can kinda put a box or two in the back and zoom down the road in your $75,000, 200hp one of a kind…thing. There are more pictures at the link.

My detail guy once told me
"Usually the people making the harsh judgements on cars, are the people who are driving 100$ cars".
Pretty true

I have an opinion!!! LOL!!!
I actually think that Monte/El Camino is pretty cool! It's a retro return of a OLD classic. Also, who ever did this did nothing too the car other then ditch the rear seats and change the trunk/rear seat space to a truck bed. It's complete custom job, doubt anyone else has one.
Now, I'll admit, I personally think the owner should have used an SS model as the base.
Icing on the cake (far from a requirement) would be a RWD conversion.
But it's a cool car. I wonder how the interior was done on the back. Is the curved rear glass a true El Camino glass? What other things aren't we seeing.....

The writer clearly isn't all that intelligent... the 3.4 runs 180 hp... just shows that the writer isn't very knowledgeable and just wants to rant on something... he probably drives a prius.
