Wow, looks like that was a lot of work but it turned out great. What happened to the car to where it needed rebuilding?

A guy at work who has since retired bought one of those new. They are nice cars.

A local chevy dealer was selling one with about 21,000 miles on it and I think they were asking $12,995. It sold before I had a chance to go look at it.

That car was a rollover if I remember correctly. Wow what an amazing job. You made some great progress with that car. You turned what I can only imagine was a total or close to a total into a brand new looking car. Props.

That picture of the final product all waxed up with the perfect lighting is probably one of my favorite pictures of a Monte ever. Looks absolutely amazing man.

yeah it was a roll over, bought in dec 03 & rolled jan 05

the car was a total loss, but has a clean title thanks to the original owner

i could of bought one for less than what it took to rebuild this one but wouldn't of had the fun or the experience that i gained by doing it

& the flames are a considerable amount more the complete set is around 3 grand ima have them painted on for a cleaner look unless i can get them cheaper
