Couple pics of an 86 SS Monte I put together....
This car hit a dear and tore up the front clip. Before square bodies I was big into Gbodies.....I've got to get back to doing more paint/body.....I love it! I put this car together a few years back but since I'm starting to build these trucks locally now, I thought I'd share a couple pics....

Re: Couple pics of an 86 SS Monte I put together....
It was fun....I supplied a lot of the NOS parts for it...as well as a clean parts car for various hardware pieces and fasteners. The decal kit was Phoenix Graphix and it was about a half day on those alone. I had about 125 hours in it all together....this included some engine mechanical and a complete vehicle detail inside as well.

Re: Couple pics of an 86 SS Monte I put together....
This was a customers' car I put back together. It was in body shop prison for over a year without being touched. Guy got in touch with me asking if I'd take it on-and since I have a weak spot for Monte SS cars anyway, I made arrangements to bring it to my shop and I got it done for him. I did a lot more work than most body shops would ever do....I know these cars inside and out better than most.

Re: Couple pics of an 86 SS Monte I put together....
Here's a pic of one of the 79 Montes I built and sold. It was a pro-touring type build before pro-touring was main stream. And yes those are 17x9 Impala SS rims....brand new at the time.

Re: Couple pics of an 86 SS Monte I put together....
Nice job on those Monte's! When those were new (83-87), my dad and I would go down to the local Chevy dealer and drive one. We actually drove an 86 Areocoupe (only 200 made). They were awesome cars, but dad didn't want to spend the money on one. I have a soft spot for G bodies as well. Hurst/Olds, Monte SS, Grand Prix or GN.
