MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

[Northernregal]

The build quality says "racecar" but all we will see in the paint job is

I mean, I like it... so you know exactly where that puts you in the grand scheme of things.

This is how I best summarize the philosophy of this car:

Curious on ride and suspension travel.

And one color good 😉

It's got about a quarter inch before it touches the bump stops. I can jounce the suspension and it moves well enough... shouldn't be too jarring.

Also, I found the noise. It was two large washers under the battery tray. That's going to be an improvement...

Come to the Dark Side, Mike…

Go fast AND have your junk look good while doing it!

Third version of the fender liners. The car decided it hates the plastic, now it can try to eat through steel.

Stabbed in the new polyurethane bump stops and then things snowballed...

That's where four cans got me (both sides). Guess I need a few more, eh? Ah well, it'll look fine covered in dust and grime at a distance of 100 feet at 100 km/h at night... and overcast... in the rain... and fog.

Does anyone else hear that screaming sound? I think Rktpwrd is having a nervous breakdown... someone better check on him.

looks aren't everything,that car runs like a scalded dog,by the time you get close enough to see the paint for what it is it's already walked all over you..👍

Short of moving into your house how much closer do I have to get before you step up and help? 😉

Ask not what motorheadmike can do for you, ask what you can do for motorheadmike!

We both know where you'll find my hand, Walter... up your butt.

This is how I best summarize the philosophy of this car:

"Would it help if I get out and push?"

Where are the smuggling compartments? Asking for inspiration.
