1985 Monte Carlo Build

[MadMax]

Pulled it out of the garage under its own power for the first time since ive had it. Felt pretty good to see it in the sun. Still have all that welding to do next weekend.

 

[MadMax]

This weekend was mostly devoted to bodywork. Got all the welding/grinding done, replaced the strikers, and started to remove the rest of the trim. Hopefully by this weekend ill have the rust treated and it'll be ready for primer.

Actually, ive never been that great with metal either. It just takes patience is all. The old exhaust was pretty bad off, so i put on anout 5 ft of 2-3/4'' pipe, followed by old thrush turbos and turndowns right before the axle. Doesn't sound too bad.
