ChevroletR Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Alright so I'm sure some of you have seen the Hot Rod article months back that had drawings of a first-gen Monte Carlo as a wagon!? I'm very curious what it really would look like (not from just a drawing). Hot Rod didn't know 'where to get the donor roof from' and this seemed disturbing to me: "Why not take one from a Chevelle/Malibu wagon?" My goal is to have some of you guys send me some pictures (of your own, buddies, off the web, whatever) so I can photoshop the Monte as a two-door wagon! I wanted to do just a perpendicular side shot, the larger and clearer the better, and any colors right now will do. I will try to find a Wagon to match the color for the roof and I will continue my search online. (I am only a intro-Photo-Shopper...can't do anything with colors just yet other than cut & paste!) Thank you all in advance very much! Hopefully I can get some nice pics up for you guys too when I'm done. Thanks again! Now, my roommate made these two real quick from a '70 Wagon a guy sent me from another forum: From this: The wheelbase on the wagon is the same, right? My roommate took and cut a section out of the rear of the car and moved it forward so the door wouldn't have to be so huge or the B/C piller wouldn't have to be very wide. It's 2x wide in the pics. If you can, all you bright/medium blue Montes out there think you can get this identical shot with your Monte? If you could and send it to me I would be TONS appreciative. With a 'simple' background and same lighting would be 1000 times better. lol Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 the wagon has a 118" wheel base where the monte has a 116" wheel base. the door will either be a el camino door or from a wagon. you could use an el camino as a donor car and the rear section from the wagon throw a monte front clip on it and be done.
