My summer of 2007 1978 Monte Carlo project

Your interior is in pretty good shape. Looks almost like mine but I have no center console. My interior is turning pink in certain areas also. I wonder if vinyl paint would make them look as good as factory or close enough.

Here are a couple of my interior pics like yours. They aren't that good. I know what you mean about fading to pink though. I might cover mine with red velvet or velour to match my racing seat covers for my Jaz racing seats that I have to install yet..I have updated the interior a little since these pics but have a long way to go.

Nice looking interiors guys. Get yourselfs some SEM vinyl plastic prep and SEM dye. It looks like SEM 'Portola Red' would be the closest match, but try and track down a color chip chart to make sure. The stuff works great on vinyl and plastics! Got to use the prep though.

Also, check out the 78 T-top Monte on Ebay.. Same interior, looks sweet!

Well today I got one step closer on my Monte project. finished bolting up the fenders and also realigned the hood. Just a few odds and ends to finish up, and I may sneak it the 3 miles to the shop for alignment and exhaust. Do I really need, lights, turn signals and a bumper to go 3 miles?

Getting closer. Looks good so far. Keep up the good work. Don't need that stuff in the daylight to get to the shop.Just tell the cop that it must have fell off on the way to the shop. LOL!!!HAHAHAH!

Thanks, Exhaust work is completed, but it has been snowing all day and the roads are pretty rough shape. Going to keep it at the shop until the roads clear up.

Well do you have a new video for us so we can hear what the new full exhaust sounds like?
I know you probably told us but what size exhaust did you use and did you use an x pipe or h pipe or straight pipes and what mufflers did you use? :lol: :lol: 😛 😛 :wink: :? :?:
