Well today is finally the day that I took my Monte to the bodyshop!!! I will be having the Goodmark 2" Cowl hood put on, SS Monte Spoiler put on the rear........Getting another header panel put on ( Previous owner hot a deer and cracked it), All new Bumper Trim/side moldings,and a few dings here and there taken care of....I originally only wanted to do a few things here and there and as I was talking to the Body Man I suggested that as my car was gonna be there, how much extra to paint the while thing......The price was too good to pass up!!! I can't wait until it's done...Hell, I've had the cowl hood in my garage for the past three years :blam: I'll post some pics when she's all done 8)

Re: Monte went to Body Shop Today!!!!

mines going in on the weekend, strip the paint down to the metal, repair a quarter panel, change the window sweeps, change t-top metal and rubber, and paint it matte blue..then the rear end gets changed for the 8.2 with 3.08 posi with disk brakes....I have a client who owes me some $$$, about 4000 of them and he's a body guy with access to a shop so he's paying off some of the account with some labor and supplies...

I bought a complete cowl hood from Goodmark.....The aftermarket cowl could be done, but you gotta be pretty handy and know what your doing...It's alot of work...If your considering a cowl and can afford it, buy a complete bolt on hood...Mine was $450.00 from Goodmark.
