Looks good Paul. I think the stripes make it look pretty neat!

Looking good Paul . its hard to get a good black paint job. are the stripes decals or paint ? I also owned a 70 Monte from 92 to 2002 was a great car had an accident and rebuilt it and sold it in 2002 this is a picture of it from when it was up for sale. what kit did you use for the model ? is it the lowrider edition ?

The stripes are paint,Tamiya gloss silver with a peal clear on them. The kit is the stock version from AMT. The kit is very well detailed down to separate chassis only missing the pair of fender stiffener bars but easy fix with some .035 plastic rod.
That's a great looking Monte, like the wheels and the color.

Those stripes look white in this picture, could be my monitor,its old . You Did a real nice job on those . I was thinking "wow he didn't paint white over black did he?" but its silver . Great job on that!
I never should have sold my Monte but I didn't have anyplace to keep it safe. spent well over 10K repairing that car fixed rust built new engine body work paint new 12 bolt.nobody would give me 7k for it back then wound up selling for 5500
Looking forward to seeing more of your build up!

Anyone have the correct steering wheel for the Monte in 1/25, Corvette style.
