Great looking monte Carlo!

That’s a great looking build.  Elegant with the color and wheel choice.   Nice job!

That paint is killer, beautiful work on this!

[Musclecarbuilder]

Fantastic! Is that a rattle can job? Or did you de-can the paint and spray through an airbrush?

[Brutalform]

Absolutely stunning. That’s one pretty Monte.

Outstanding detail! Don't beat yourself up on the little stuff. This is a show winner in my book.

Thanks Gary, I tend to evaluate builds after I complete them to see where I could improve.

That is very awesome, I have to pick up one of these

It's a very nice kit overall but I found the final assembly to be easier by installing the chassis into the body without the frame attached. I also had to shave the edges of the door cards to get the interior to fit inside the body.

Stunning paint. Looks like the box top.

That's true and I wasn't even thinking of the box top when I chose the color.

Beautiful paint finish and color. The close to matching interior color goes well with the body color. Had a one owner '72 with 80k on the odo Monte Carlo, should never have let it go. 

I hear you. Didn't think twice of selling cars when I was younger that decades later I regret no longer owning.

Thanks Will it's actually straight from the can. I don't currently own an airbrush but may get one eventually.

Thanks again, but to be fair there are enough times I've had to repaint bodies using the rattle cans. With an airbrush I'd probably have more control thus greater consistency.
