I seen this Nice Monte SS owned by Darrell Hyde in New Albany, MS.




Also happen to find these nice drawings online. I seen the real version of the red and gold wagon.

Getting body back together to paint the outside. We're planning on painting some ghost flames on the hood. Trying some combinations. 8)

Awesome custo-restoration! Not including all the custom metalwork and flames, what is a ballpark cost of a color change refinish as shown in your photos? I have a rust-free desert car, but the sun hammered the old lacquer. None of the shops around here want to get involved in a restoration.

Thanks for the compliments Guys!

ssn96: Somewhere around $3000- $3500 maybe a Lil less if its not too bad. Hard to price without looking at it.

Getting everything test fitted before paint. This BadBoy should be in paint next week and ready for the next stage. Here are some teaser pics of the front end together with the custom grille.

Nice work on the grille! Thanks for the estimate. Looking forward to watching the progress.
