'78 Dodge Monaco Custom Beater

[Chuck Most]

Take a cheap-o beater from the classifieds, paint it with Rustoleum and a roller, and use all the money you didn't spend on buying a 'desirable' car for some wheels and an air suspension and slum it up in style!

Just a quick, simple 'boredom killer' curbside build- I bought this kit yesterday after work, and had it done before midnight.

LOL! I love the effect. You need to display a little scratch-build paint roller and bucked of paint for this one, buddy.

The paint effect looks thick, just as if you had "rolled" it on.

That's actually pretty pimpin'! I would drive it.......what wheels are those by the way?

Not sure- Revell '55 Chevy hardtop, I think.

Thanks Chuck, I will have to see about getting a set for one of my future (never finished) builds.

Great job so far Chuck!!

I like the idea of cranking a kit out like this! No polishing, fancy bodywork or engine detailing. I can imagine some kid inheriting a car like this from a grandparent and doing just what you did- wheels and airbags.

Only thing missing is the speakerbox in the backseat.

I am not into lowriders, but this is one sweet looking Monaco you have there. I like the Green paint too. .

You have taken a Monaco and made it cool! Good work!

[Danno]

Kewl. ALMOST there; you just need some dingleberries around all the windows!
