I had a hard time picking which color blue I wanted but I found a plastic bowl in the cupboard and took it the the paint store said this color they took a picture of it and made it up, I'm happy with it. Turned out to be an old Isuzu color.

Steve, you do know that using a non original color on your Monte is considered an alteration at our meets, right.  Using a foreign car color would be two alterations... are you looking to be put into the Custom/Super Modified Class.  :k

It was actually warm enough to push the 70 out of the garage to wash the firewall and frame getting it ready for paint. Also washed up the bumper filler so it can paint it the correct silver colour. The body shop back in 2000 painted it body colour in error.

Well I got one of my Christmas gifts hung up over my bed. Something has been missing there for a long time now I found something for it. Can't work on car right now so this is the next best thing I guess.
