Can I ask where the wheel covers are from? Beautiful build.

I modified the 1973 Cadillac wheel cover. 2 sets were cast, and I've used them both, but I still have the master, Here's a shot of it before the finish work:MonteCarloWheelcover.jpg

Another beauty. What did you use for the chassis? I can't see that goofy lowrider chassis being made to look that good for love nor money.

It's a mixture of the '77 and '70 Monte Carlo chassis. I wanted to keep the '77 chassis wheelhousings. As it turns out, just using the '70 chassis is better. That's what I did on the '74 Monte.

Another excellent build from you Tom! What kind of paint do you use? I just finished a '68 Impala that I painted with Model Masters Artesian Turquoise and it looks pretty close to the color on your Monte Carlo.

I'm not at home right now to look, but I think it's Duplicolor Hampstead Green.
