About
***** Under Construction *****
((( Please see the other tabs for all the details on my custom Monte as well as my photo albums for the pictures of all the hard work that has been put into this car over the last 5+ )))
This Monte's History
I bought this Monte Carlo in late summer 2000 from a farmer. About 1 year after I had been hit and run in my first Monte Carlo, a 1972. (It was totaled) The farmer was asking $2,500 for it. I talked him down to $1,000 and took her home.
The Monte was in BAD shape when I got it. It had a 1972 dog house on it, due to the guy wrecking it after getting drunk one night. So that was the first thing I had to fix. After that, I found a LOT of rust when taking off the stainless steel trim around the bottom edge of the car to get ready to start the body work for a new paint job. (It was 3 colors by this point.)
With the help of my Dad and husband, we cut out all the rust and bad spots and replaced it all with new medal. After getting all the bad spots fixed, I decided to just keep off the stainless steel trim, so I shaved the side markers, mirrors, emblems, and hood ornament off to give it a different look from all the other First generation Montes out there.
After having the car for about 2.5 years, I got a great job working at Firestone Industrial Products working in the engineering department in their Air Ride division… I get killer deals on Air Ride and Tires, So thought, why not. I could not pass up the chance to put full Air Ride on the Monte for way less then market price. Just one more way to make it stand out from all the other First Generation Montes out there.
*** I did not plan on going this extreme with the Monte, but why not, if you can get good deals on the stuff, and it does not mess up your car… Air Ride requires little to no cutting, unlike Hydraulics. Plus, Air Ride, rides a lot better then stock suspension. ***
This car has come a LONG way with a lot of hard work, time and money put into it, a little at a time. As I had some extra money to get the parts needed to do the work, I would get them, and install it or fix the car more.
I do 70% of my own work on it, and the other 30% I had helped with or had someone do it that knew what they were doing, and I did not… Such as the system install and build. I don’t pay for much of anything to be done on it. I traded favors, like I would do something on there car for them in return for there help on mine. Or do some horse trading. The only thing I pay for to be done on the car is it’s alignment, tire mounting and balancing. Witch I get discounts on with work as well.
I just started showing my Monte in 2004, and since I stared showing it up till Mid 2008, it has won 7 trophies in its class… It did not win anything during 2004, but 2005 to Mid 2008 it took home trophies at all the shows we took it too. 5 for best unfinished (1st), 1 for best Lowrider (1st) and 1 for Best Nostalgic Custom (2nd).
(I will keep this updated with her wins and shows we go to.)
Wining now and then makes all the hard work worth it! And makes you feel good, because it tells you that people can tell that you put a lot of hard work and time into it…

Special Thanks To
Everyone who has helped me get this car fixed up so far. Such as my Dad, Lou… My Husband Chris, and to my baby girl Alicia who has helped keep it clean at shows as well as helped with some body work. (She will be the big 4 years old on Nov. 2008.)
Also to Sinister Autosports who did all the custom work in my trunk and more. Thanks guys, Your the Best!
It has been a great joy getting this Monte fixed up and I appreciate the help people have given me with stuff I did not know how to do, or helped so it would get finished faster.
Can’t wait to see how good she will look when we get her paint on!
