My next project I have thought about serveral time but couldn't wouldn't commit to doing...but since I will be doing all the work myself I am thinking that I am going to shave the trucklid lock and paint the lower half flat black. I did a fast chop of it and a guy on another forum did a chop for me as well. I rushed wanted to see a different angle to see the whole car. Here's what I am thinking:

Looks pretty nice so far man, like the tail lights but I don't like Red Dashboards, other than that it looks awesome you seem pretty professional, where about in Michigan do you live?

**BADAZGTP** · 09-10-2008

Looks awsome man. Keep up the great work.

i'm thinking if u paint your trunk like that, u will need 2 do more black 2 the car.

black rims, and a painted 2 match roof would be tits!

**7801MonteMan** · 09-11-2008

I live in Oakland county.
I have black rims already and I used to have dual exhuast but thats a whole different story. I'm thinking of taking the car off the road next year around end of Febuary and get the dents out and she is going to get a whole new repaint. Thinking either stickin with the Torch Red and doing some type of strips something similar to the Yenko's. Or I may do a candy pearlecent color either red or orange. Here are some more older photos:

Its kind of neat looking back at old pictures! That and its a nice break from the speech that I am perparing and that is due at 6pm today.

Where in Oakland County, it's not a small area lol, I live in Macomb but I'm out in Oakland all the time.

**GOINDEF** · 09-11-2008

whats up guys, hey monteman those pics look sweet, where abouts is the one with the old building? and it looks like I'm doing another hood, this time for my buddies' 05 malibu maxx ( http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2256545 ), He wants the 98-02 Camaro SS Scoop so it should be pretty interesting

**7801MonteMan** · 09-12-2008

I live in Waterford. I am all over as well.
GOINDEF the pictures with the building is actually back over in OU/Meadow Brook Hall. The historic house museum. MBH Home - Meadow Brook Hall - Oakland University

Oh and that Bu should look pretty good with that custom hood. That same seller has a cowl for sell but its about 1" taller than I want. Plus i'm still working on/in the money pit on my Monte projectors...oppps you and a couple people only know about that project

**DesQ27** · 09-12-2008

Very professional work. I like the idea of the black on the rear, but if somehow you could match that to the tint of the lights, that would look really smooth.

**gtpinsc** · 09-15-2008

amazing work! ur car is looking sweet....with the exceptions of uhhhhhh the dale jr stickers

**7801MonteMan** · 10-11-2008

Ok next project should be pretty straight forward. I got my red suede in today and started my suede project. I have a couple pictures of the very beginning.

More pictures after I finish this project hopefully tommorrow or at the latest Monday depending on how smoothly is goes.

**SyntheticShield** · 10-11-2008

Now THIS I am interested in seeing how its done and how it comes out for you.

**m0ng00se** · 10-12-2008

I'm also pretty interested how the suede will turn out...

Let's see the how the engine looks.

**7801MonteMan** · 10-13-2008

Pretty much finished. They're is one more thing that I want to do to them but here they are:

Don't mind the blood I cut myself when I was trimming off the excess on the back.

Installed just to get a idea of what they are going to look like.

Back inside so they dry and my car doesn't smell like glue.

If you plan on doing this take your time and only glue small sections and don't use a lot of glue because like me the first round I sprayed too much and it bleed through the material. Also if there are deep curves do those first and work your way out to the edges. I have never done anything like that but overall the second one was easy. The first one took me probably 20-25 mins and the second one took me 15-18 mins.
