Just finished this one up in time for a little ride with the AC on full blast. No hot rod, but would probably get down the road OK with the 454.

This one is MM British Racing Green inside and out. This was the low rider kit, boy those tires and wheels in that kit are awful. I picked some tires out of my parts bin and used some ralley wheels I cast. Think this looks a little better.

Hope you like this one.

OOOOHH that is nice! fing02.gif

Yes, those wheels do make the car!

Chevy would be well advised for the next MC to take styling cues from that one........instead of the current one which just looks strange to me-------front end restyling notwithstanding! :(

That is gorgeous. I love those old Montes. My dad had a black 454 he had to sell, per the cops. He bought a 70 Nova ss then! LOL

Anyway, I love it, the green fits perfectly!

I agree whole heaqrtedly. I am not typically a Monte Carlo guy (like them but noy my fave)...but this one is just really dead on beautiful ! The solid dark green with the white walls on Rally's looks just perfect !

Very nice !!!

Nice looking Monte Carlo! That's one of my favorite years Monte. The wheels are perfect for it.

I'm not a big fan of green, but the only green car I've ever done is that exact same color :(

Thanks,

wow you made that thing look goooood! looks like one my grandmother had years ago that was the faded yellow color. I belive the car is rotting away at my grandpas farm out in cayuga ontario. I agree the freakin wheels that come with the kit make me wanna eat a pair of old socks. I got his kit a couple weeks ago and I got careless and glue bombed the feces out of the engine. luckly, I woke up out of that daze and built the rest of the model as cleanly as possible.
