Monte Carlo Clip on an El Camino

[Cutty78]

The "El MonteLac".....I like it. i've seen 87 Mnte LS frontends on wagons and Elky's,but never a '78.....that's my other favorite Monte frontend. Good job!

I've seen your car in your signature but until now I thought it was just a front clip swap and never realized how involved the swap actually was. Great Job.

great build and i love the treat of seeing the ae86 on top of the monte, too bad it's a t a junk yard 🙁

Just wanted to save some other poor soul with OCD about 3 hours of google searching...
Thats an 85 laser with a missing bit of rear fender bump rail and broken corners on the tail light lenses...
No, seriously, 3 hours of looking at shitty 80s hatch backs. I know the comment was from 2011 and I know it really dosent matter what the car is but it bugged the heck out of me that I couldnt place it...

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I've been driving it daily for over 6 mounths, took it on a 4000 mile vacation and just generally enjoying it.

Wow. I can't believe at one point I thought that was an 86.To be young and foolish. I am glad to say I have come a long way and just looking at the 1/4 window I can tell its not an 86 now. Thanks for the clarification.

How well do the 81-88 Monte doors line up with the El Camino body lines?
