just played around with photoshop what my wheels would look on a monte 
CruizinKev's 1979 Monte Carlo
- Thread starter CruizinKev
- Start date
Hell yeah, do work son!
Looks cool. Alot of neat ideas and pieces. I love the way that 59-60 dash looks in that and how they sloped it down to the toe boards. Kinda makes me miss my 59 just looking at it.
Gonna have to score some of those handles.
Nice Photoshop. Those wheels look perfect on there. That's what Denzel should have been rolling on his Monte in Training Day.

I think I found my seats: Procar Rally Seats
They'll look awesome with the 59/60 Impala dash and steering wheel.

thx guys!
so yesterday I scraped off the rest of the undercoating stuff and found some ugly stuff:
One of the pre owners did some "repairs" and covered with bondo and undercoating. well I think I have to replace that section.
Already found a good site for replacements:
index
Fortunately the rest of the frame is good and only needs to be boxed and some rewelding of the factory welds.
Anyways I'll sandblast the frame this week, finally! Next weekend I'll test fit my rear wheels (18x9.5 with 295/35) and will see how much work need to do on notching rear frame section.
yeah right - it had euro tails but I'll swap to US spec 78 tails anyways for the "cleaner" look like this:

I love the euro taillights. Its so much different from everything else. Nonetheless, it looks unbelievable with the new setup/wheels. I think alot of people don't consider how "aerodynamic" this car looks with the curves it has. It almost looks like a project like Boyd used to do like their "Chezoom" and other cars. Keep up the good work.

lol no fire in there! See I just received this pic from my buddy last night
he said already reweld almost all factory weld on underside of frame, welded control arm brackets in and boxed the sides
man he's fast - I just wanted to be there when he starts because I need to learn how to weld :biggrin:

new pics of today, my buddy at work!
almost there!
Now at the moment I'm thinking about to galvanize/zincing the frame so it'll be 100% forever rustfree...
