    Here is the original color of the underside of my car once the undercoat was removed. I found a close match to repaint the underside once I'm ready

    I don't know why they are on its side but posting these pictures right side up is more frustrating than removing undercoat

    So I have been busy doing the horrible job of removing all the undercoat from the bottom of my car. It's coming out good but what a pain in the butt. Heat gun and putty knife and alot of lacquer thinner.
  5. Rob I am doing it on my back with a putty knife and a heat gun. It will all be worth it in the end. I will post some pictures this week on my post in the SS454 section. Joe
  6. Darren The work you are doing looks great. I am in the process of stripping off the undercoat off the whole underside. Joe
  7. Wow that does look good Dan. Mine is will be 650 to blast and put in prime than I will paint it. Hope it looks as good as yours. Joe
  8. Dan Fabulous work on the monte. Your work and parts looks outstanding. Keep up the good work and the pictures. Joe

    I built a dolly for the SS this weekend and got the body on it and rolled in the garage so now I can remove the undercoat and detail the underside while the Frame is out being blasted. This way when the frame gets back I can install the new suspension and rear and then get the body back on.
  10. Congratulations on a great looking SS. They are truly hard to find. Joe
  11. Larry You are right. I just checked out their site. But I think I like the look of the Silvertowns better. But good spot Larry. Joe
  12. I did but no small 3/8 whitewall like the silvertowns. Call me crazy but I really think its gonna be a good look on the car. Joe
  13. Aaron That original tire is cool looking. Always nice to see original stuff. Joe
  14. That's a cool story Larry. I saw these tires and knew that's what I wanted on my SS.
  15. These are what I'm putting on my car
  16. They are radials not bias
  17. I found this place that has b f Goodrich Silverton in 225/70/15. They are like 290.00 each and that includes shipping
  18. I belive SS got small single white stripe. Dual white was non ss. I am gonna put the 3/8 small white stripe radial back on mine.

    I told Eric that it was a 71 monte ss. He said it was same basic system as chevelle. He is making mine with no heat riser so that head pipe will be a shade longer. He was familiar with the car. He knew just what I was looking for. Joe

    Just spoke to Eric Gardner this morning and ordered my exhaust. Very nice guy. He told me that I will be very pleased with the system. Joe

    Sounds good Sam. Truth be told when I first looked at this car I thought the ad said non matching so I was gonna make it a 4 speed ss but after finding out that it was completely matching I figured I would return it to its former glory. As it seems to be a fully loaded ss. Joe
