Rare SS Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 My buddy had a Monte which burned in 1988 😲. Prior to it burning, this was an excellent car. Very straight body with beautiful paint and a flawless vinyl top! All of the chrome was replaced NEW from GM when the car was painted! I bought it as salvage from the insurance company and it ended up becoming my Monte (number 4.) I spent many hours on this car; Sandblasting, cleaning and prepping the metal for a repaint. I used zinc chromate primer (*advised by a body shop) From my parts hoard, I replaced the steering column, carpeting, quarter window glass and dash, the wiring harness, kick panels and vents, etc. I ended up selling the car in 1989 when I shelved it for a while after pulling the motor. (I never did finish it... lost my steam!) *My Dad said that's when I discovered GIRLS! 🤷♂️🤸♂️😜 Jeff 1970 SS454 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Hey Jeff did you know why she got hot? I was going to say i did some wiring on her but i think that might even be too much Hottness for me. lol She looked like a great car prior though. Also your Dad was right, when the Twins start showing up its hard to concentrate on cars. Even harder when you have a daily to drive. That much harder to get back to the hot rod. I am sure we all had that problem one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SS Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Why'd it burn? I heard stories, from an electrical short (by "Willie's Auto Lektrik") 🔥💥 to a jealous person tossing a cig into the open window! Never did find out, but that Willie sure got out of business quickly! 😏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
