StanGlover Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Here is my 1978 Chevy Monza promo in Dark Camel that I added some detail to. I randomly came across this one on eBay recently for a good price and jumped on it. These Monza’s are pretty sharp looking for a peak-malaise-era econo-box! The original paint finish was a little box-worn on the roof and nose, but I was able to save it by polishing out the paint and clear-coating it with Extreme Lacquer Clear. Window trim is silver Sharpie and other bright work is generic Molotow-style chrome pen. Mirrors came from an Academy ‘75 Hyundai Pony, the Asian market fender mirrors. I love doing up these old promos and simple snap kits like this; it’s a nice slump buster and lets you practice or exercise your detailing skills without investing the time and money into a full kit! 17
VanGoGo Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Nice looking build,I remember when the Monza first came out, always liked the futuristic rectangular headlights. 1
Jim N Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Very nicely done! I always thought the Monza was a neat looking car. 1 1
ea0863 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Fantastic build Zack, and what a blast from the past! I remember a buddy of mine had one with a V8 from the factory. What a bear it was to work on, especially to change the spark plugs. 1
