another gooodie from the past.

i grafted the rear suspension from the 67 chevy kit to the monte floor pan. i scratchbuilt the "outlaw" hood....i kinda dont like it, i made it too tall!

theres a ton of other scratchbuit stuff on here too..........but again, i was still learning, and it doesnt represent my best work.

A good friend of mine has an 86' Monte SS Prostreet 1:1. He has the 4" hood in just about the same silver as your car here, it is a back half car with a nice 4 link set up and a 383 stroker under the hood.

Very nice work on this one, with that hood and wing it really looks mean...

Not that I could do any better, bit the hodd is just a little bit to tall and doesn't flow from the front grill, but its still really sweet! Don't take my criticism the wrong way though as I couldn't do much better. Lol. Thabks for sharing it!

oh no, its cool nathan. i dont like the hood myself but i was still in the learning process, and a little less patient than i am now. there are quite a few things i could have done better on this build....your criticism is welcome here, i wont get mad about it at all.

thanks!

At 15 and just started modeling last year I'm still in the learning curve and I've tried a few cowl hoods myself amd never have actually been satified with them. I think I'm about to start a 40' ford here in a little bit since my work bench hasn't had anything on it in a weel or two.

Bryan, first off I may have to agree with you on the height of the custom hood but.......... it does not take away from the great work you did on this build. I really like the paint and the trunk looks very nice. I say, good job !!

Bryan, I'm not a huge fan of the SS Monte ( I have a soft spot for LS Montes)... But you did this one up just right brother! I like the cowl hood.... May be tall, but makes this car look that much meaner!
