Re: New Project 81 Monte Build
I always love it when the frame gets painted. It's like looking at a whole new frame and you can picture the final build. The '82 looks great and I'm sure this one will look just as good. I also love your dad's old Monte. I wish I was a good enough mechanic to work on a build like that. I usually end up getting someone else to do it. Speaking of finding someone else, has anyone ever used angie's list mechanics reviews to find a mechanic?

So I got word of an all original 87 Monte SS sitting out beside a barn 15 minutes away from me. I went to check it out for myself and sure enough there it was. Its a silver gray with light gray interior and has been parked for years in the tall grass
Also it is an ac delete. I gunna try and get my hands on this one even though the body is rough but I can put all the good part on my 81 let me know what you guys think.

Re: New Project 81 Monte Build
Well I got ahold of the owner of the SS monte and he told me $600 and shes yours. does this seem like a good deal for an all original but rotten SS with A/C delete, non power windows, decent interior and a good nose piece? im thinking using my existing 81 monte frame and shell to make a street strip SS clone What do you guys think?

Re: New Project 81 Monte Build
Depends on how rotted it is. I think $600 for the good nose, a/c delete package, good interior if its complete and usable is a decent price. You could sell or junk whats left.OldBlue82 said:Well I got ahold of the owner of the SS monte and he told me $600 and shes yours. does this seem like a good deal for an all original but rotten SS with A/C delete, non power windows, decent interior and a good nose piece? im thinking using my existing 81 monte frame and shell to make a street strip SS clone
Re: New Project 81 Monte Build
The front fenders and nose are mint, same with the deck lid, spoiler, and rear bomper cover. All the black trim is in good condition. Seats, and console will clean up nice and I wanted to convert to buckets anyways. Also has a 200 4r trans.
