Hopefully this week it will be home, Matt's really pissed right now, one of his guys broke the center console lid and never said anything until today. Try finding a blue on in as nice as shape as his?

Cort, we've been through this before. You don't have to work on cars to be an enthusiast or appreciate them. On the flipside, a deep pocket doesn't make you an enthusiast either. Appreciation, respect, admiration and tons of other words I can think of make someone a car enthusiast. No need to even own a car to be an enthusiast. Now we all come here to talk cars, Monte or otherwise and I would say that we are all enthusiasts. Including Matt. May be young, but with the work he has put into his Monte along with "some" of the other students, I would classify them as an enthusiast. *nods* Agreed, Keith. And, as Dave wrote, well said. Thank you. Ok, here is what everyone has been waiting for, the first touches of color! ...and it was said, "Let There Be ... COLOR"! HOLY COW ... I love that color combo. VERY VERY VERY SWEET. Those emblems will look sweet. Is he going to keep the MC Knight Crest/Shield emblem on the nose? That certainly would be a cool accent with that paint, I think, anyway.... *pauses* Not that I'm partial to that emblem, of course...lol. Keith, I told him that everyone is is rooting for him! He was a little creeped out at first, But he realised he has family that he's never met, LOL! Hey hey hey ... he has met me! *pauses* OK ... maybe that isn't the best example . lol Though ... heck, tell him he has 5 more Monte Carlos ready for him . LOL! Dude ... this caught my funny bone. Why? Because I thought of this pic... www.chevyasylum.com/cort/200711/RT11230701_Keith_mcc_IN_jpg.html...and wondered what anyone who doesn't know you would think.... Hopefully this week it will be home, Matt's really pissed right now, one of his guys broke the center console lid and never said anything until today. Try finding a blue on in as nice as shape as his? Oh no ... sorry that happened.....

he's already going nuts about tomorrow! he brought home the fender extentions tonight, I can't belive this color! the pictures are not even close! Joe, It's goign to be a few weeks before it's out crusing, I have to rewire, reseal and reassemble the doors first. Not to mention install all the trim, wheels, repaint underneith, replace the inner fenderwells and clean everything under the hood. Should be ready for our first cruise night, But for the Street Machines of Rochester Show for sure! Cort, I have been looking for that nose emblem, I haven't found one online and I don't have one. I'm wondering if the one off the tail light will fit? It just ain't a Monte with out a Knight's crest! And Keith is Creepy no matter how you look at him, Right brother? Yeah, Matt's bummed about the console lid, but Mike's Montes has a repro in Blue for $90 plus shipping. Matt is going to try and make the kid pay for it.

OK, Cort, that pic makes me look a little creepy. I don't look like that anymore, though. Grew my hair back out. Got a haircut for the 1st time in the better part of a decade. LOL.
Dave, its looking pretty darn good. How long b4 its back on the road and cruising around? The weather has just started turning so he got done right on time.

It's on the road legally, I just made him promise to leave it in the garage until it's buffed and All the new door seals and windows are back in. I'm not liking the fact that both doors rattle because there are no seals. Yeah, we planned it out right didn't we? LOL! I couldn't have planed this out if I tried, it just fell that way. Now I'm off to fix the tail lights, Only 1 reverse light works and one brake light just flickers

Look in good. Tell your son patience is best at this time. He wouldn't want to mess or break something before the car is completely back together. You hear of those horror stories all the time. Guy finally get's his car close to being back on the road after being apart for many years. It's looking all nice and sounds even better. He can't stand the wait so he takes it to the store where someone not paying attention backs in to the car while he's in the store and leaves heavy damage before they drive off.

Don't even say that Rj! The car looks great and I really don't want this to end up like that, I even told him If I ever catch him street racing, I'll beat the living Crap out of him! We have a Cruise at the local dragstrip, $5 a pass, I told him we can go there any week.
