Why is rockin monte not postin up haha

But good luck with the project! look forward to seeing updates.

Though I'm pissed at you guys for not leaving a silver lip on the rims. For shame.

Is it just cosmetic damage? Cuz in the last picture the front right tire looks crooked. I know it does that after you let car down after using a jack and I see there's one layin there

I think painting the wheels black really sets that car off. I can't wait to see this when you guys fix the body. It's going to look great!

[jaybaum96]

from the back its starting to look like my car. haha. Same panel and same wheel scheme

[NiftyMonte]

i wanna come hang out and look at ya'lls montes!! i'm about 45 min away in mankato. you should pm if you want another monte there to look at.

and shame on you for not taping off the tires when you painted!! lol looks good.

[mrclean]

[Nick07]

45 minutes from Mankato? In which direction? I seen the Monte had MN plates but didn't even think anything of it

[NiftyMonte]

owatonna

[Nick07]

Oh, yeah I'm like 2 hours to the west of Mankato

the lips of the rims were in bad shape haha. i suppose we could have looked for some silver paint too, but oh well!

and he doesn't post on here cause he is always busy at work and school plus he doesn't have a camera and the monte isn't at his place right now lol i'm baby sitting it.

also justin actually lives in mankato! he goes to MSU but he comes home to owatonna every weekend. we should meet up sometime though! once he gets it legal haha

[NiftyMonte]

i'm goin to msu too, yea we will have to meet up. but i will be done in june so hurry up!

you guys need headlights? i have my stockers at home that are in pretty good shape and you could have them for a couple bucks, they are just sitting collecting dust now. i wet sanded them a couple months before i took them off.
