Back Half Monte Carlo

[41chevy]

Built in the early days of Pro Street/ Pro touring as a back half car pre Lennco. Built about 1990 or so.
This started out as the Trumpeter 1978 Monte Carlo, Revell 1967 Chevelle pro big Block and back half chassis and some interior parts. First one I did with scratch build Aluminum panels in engine compartment, interior and trunk. Paint was done in 80's pastels with clear pearl over coat.

That's what I call a Pro Street. I wonder how many different cars that chassis has gone under. nice aluminum work especially for a 1st time effort!

This is a 1969 Mustang with the factory floor and frame cut out and being replaced with a narrowed frame for 4 link and tubes. this is a back half car. All the chassis and floor forward it 90% factory. Hence the term back half car.

Dang. That's a WHOLE lot more work than what we did back in the day. Thanks for the explanation. Well done on the build too.
