That's what I was thinking. My best friends brother is a body guy. He will be spraying my Monte this fall/winter. If I had a shop doing my paint it would be around $8,500. He is doing it for $2,500. Originally Posted by cornfed

What are the specs on your wheels as far as backspacing and what not?
Do you have any pictures of your frame notch?

Nice choice in wheels. CCW Classics are all business.

The monte handles alot better than it did with the old suspension parts and wheel/tire combo on it. I can take turns now and feel confident that it will stick! Originally Posted by BossaNova

I have pics of the frame notch in a thread that I put up about four years ago. Search my name in this section and you will find the thread. Originally Posted by Small Block LSX

What I like most about this car is the budget look. There is obviously some major cash in the suspension and drivetrain but the spray can flat paint is just cheap and looks down right mean on that car! I really like the second to the last pic of the quarters with rust holes. It makes me think- I dont need a "perfect" car to look bad ass.
