I'm into lowrider's. Yeah I know they are probably frowned on here but it's what I like. I'm not into all the radical interior's and paint. I want to keep my car simple, stock(except for the obvious)and clean. I have spent alot of money so far restoring the monte. I'm trying to get everything NOS. I pulled all the windows and replaced all the rubber during paint. The exterior is an orion silver. The interior is all black. I have found all the interior trim in factory black. The only pieces inside that will be dyed are the dash(for now) and the center console. Nothing wrong with dying the plastics but I personally don't like it. The motor was built by me about 5 years ago, the first time I was to restore it. It sat up until August 08 when I started the second attempt on the restore. This time is alot more productive than the first. I was trying to finish the inside and outside before my son was born and do the chrome under carriage after. It doesn't look like that will be possible(sitting at the hospital typing this up, waiting to induce labor) Well I guess that is enough about my car so here is some pics.

I have a bunch more parts now I just haven't updated them in photobucket....Will post em up soon. 😀
 
You know, the non fancy lowrider look is really growing on me. What i mean by non fancy, is just a simple paint job with no crazy colors and no graphics.

Not something id do with mine, but interesting non the less.
