Re: 198Plus build
The other doors turned out good but I just wanted some unmolested doors.

Re: 198Plus build
Truck looks good, check out my doors in my thread I picked up for 200 dollars for the set. A Im still learning the body work as I do this on the side as a hobby. My uncle works in the bodyshop business and I have watched him over the years. He told me you should always strip the panel your working on to bare metal and then prime it with a etching primer sealer. Then you can do all your mud work on top of the primer. He was told at a bodyshop school he attended that mud on top of bare metal can create moisture under the mud because the mud is so hard and the metal will sweat and create rust. I see guys building high end cars on tv and on the internet and in magizines put the mud right on top of bare metal. whats everyones thoughts on this??? Also I use dynalight brand filler from carquest. What type filler are yall guys using?

Re: 198Plus build
Not much happening on my truck.........But got another ride.
I have always liked these cars, so now I have one....72 Monte Carlo 350, 700R trans, 12 Bolt........If I keep it plans are a little taller tire, Black walls, and set the car up just a little. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 198Plus build
Well I had to do a little surgery on my truck again. I found that I had a couple stripped bolt holes in the hinges. So I decided to cut all four of them out and make new 1/4" plates and drill an tap them.....Problem solved.

Re: 198Plus build
nice looking monte carlo. Makes me sick that I had a chance to buy one just like yours back around 1995 for 300 dollars. My buddy in high school had it. It didnt have a motor in but still had the powerglide trans in it with black interior, bucket seats with the horseshoe shifter and console. same color with the rally wheels. anyways nice ride man!!

Re: 198Plus build
Thanks, but I can't take any credit since I cut the cab apart.
