1980 monte carlo

[LittleJoey]

my first post. i never had time to finish models i started 10-20 years ago. i'll admit i was too lazy to mess with engines or much interior. i recently had a heart attack so i've had to time off work to dust some off. painted this in 2013 first testors root beer brown with tan interior, i didnt like it so switched to audi teak brown with testors light aircraft gray interior

Very nice work

Great looking paint color and the finish is really smooth looking. I've not built this kit and wonder about the vinyl roof portion. Is the vinyl roof a separate part from the body?

Nice looking paint and color!

Very nice Monte, particularly the chosen finish with the light grey interior.

[Yeah Nah]

That paint colour and finish is something else!

Yes it's separate, and non-factory.  The Landau option for 1979 and 1980 Monte Carlos was a 3/4 length canopy-style top ahead of the C-pillars.

Joe, I hope you are now feeling much better. As for the model, the color combination is a stunner, and those rims are awesome!

Wow that paint is stunning! I love the 78-80 Monte Carlos (I had a 78).
