Katie's 1983 Monte
Permalink Closed


well since she is working full time and a permanent position she figured it was time to start getting her car done.

i even made her take something apart on it. and also Franky helped a lot.


had to cut the roof out above the drivers door since it was rotted.

all welded in

bondo done

finish putty done

she is paying someone to strip it down and we'll fix what ever issues we find. then he will primer it and then we'll talk about paint.

It was fast because she is paying someone to sand it and also primer it.

 Yes Dave. i said to do that from the start, but she didn't want to. after some of the stuff was unbolted and removed she could see the original colors and likes them.

Hi everyone i haven't been on here in quite some time but thank you for all the good comments. Yes it is all happening fast the guy that is doing the body/paint work for me does great work. I am going with the original colors however there will be a slight difference that you guys will have to wait to see once it is complete. I have more pics that i will upload sometime. Should be getting primered on sunday. I'm pretty excited, I can't wait to see it after the paint is done on it. smile

finally got back to working on the 83 again. had to redo the rear brake line as is blew out turning the car around. took it off and made a new line and got that fixed.
pulled the carpet and padding out and found the floors were worse then i thought on the drivers side.
so i made panels up to repair the floor. i did not cut the old stuff out. it's all sealed and under coated and now has the sound deadener all done.
also did the ceiling with sound deadener since we had enough left.






and the roof.


will turn the car around and start redoing and cleaning up under the hood over the winter.
