Andreas Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well, the former air dam on my Monte started scraping the pavement pretty often. So I removed it and "custom" manufactured a NASCAR type airdam for it. What y'all think? ------------------ 71 Monte 454 HO "FULMNTE" 86 Monte LS "The Gray Mouse" FOR SALE!

Guest Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 OK, it's bolted to the radiator crossmember? And what is it made of? I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 I was planning to build one for mine similar to Kevins clone pictures. Yours looks bad [you said a naughty!]. I already have brackets going to the radiator support so I will have to build brackets off the frame. ------------------ George Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Andreas, I like it better than your other one. I think it shows the cars stance much better. BTW.... You ended your post with "What y'all think?"..... Y'all with a German accent is really neat.

Andreas Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 It is made of sheetmetal and some brackets and bolted to the radiator support. Of course, the idea is to direct more air into the radiator for better cooling...

Kevin Wiles Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 That is very similar to the Bobby Allison Air Dam that I will need to get fabricated.. The difference is its not rounded and chamfered up at an angle. Instead it has sharp corners, and it looks to be unpainted aluminum or silver sheetmetal.

Guest Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Andreas that looks great!!

Andreas Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Well, thats why I called it "NASCAR" style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Yes, the Bobby Allison item does not look so well finished. His looked like a mid-race fix for overheat on a hot day. Somebody probably pop riveted a snack tray to the front, and sent him back out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mau Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I like the practical NASCAR-type looks of this one, Andreas. It seems to be more in keeping with the looks of the FGMC bodystyle. Y'all done good! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaMonte Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Love the air dam, but i love your grille even more. Did you custom build that or did your order a repro? Again, awesome monte! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreese Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Too Cool!! I'm sure it is quite functional in keeping that beast glued to the road when your clicking off triple digit MPH's. But you would never do that! Right????? Looks great man!!! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted July 31, 2002 Author Share Posted July 31, 2002 Fatso, that is a standard 71 grille, painted black with a 69(?) Chevelle Bowtie grille emblem... David, >100 MPH? Hmmm. lemme think about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hansen Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 My 15 yr old son will be heartbroken over the removal of the old air dam. I like the new one better.
