    Default Finally getting the Monte painted.

    Dropped the old girl off at the body shop this week to finally get the body work done and a fresh coat of paint. And before anyone asks it is going back the same color. My great grandma bought this car brand new in 79 because of that color and I can't bring myself to change it now, and it really has grown on me. It will be losing all of the chrome rocker and wheel well trim and the chrome bumper inserts are getting smoothed and painted body color. I will post up some in progress pics as the project progresses, it won't be anything flashy but straight, clean and sanitary.

    I thought you were just going to sand it, bondo it, and paint it, but you're going all out. Keep us updated and great job.
