This is my 1986 Monte Carlo SS. It was an original, black SS that came with the 305 L69 engine and T-tops.

Woo! Hello 2009, it's gonna be a helluva year! (Don't mind the clothes line XD)

Photos taken during a trip to the Palmerton Hotel for all you can eat wing Sundays! Also pictured: my roommate titanthedragon's Contour.

She looks pretty good when I actually get the time to do a proper wax job

Finally posted a pic of the 3'' hooker tips I added last year. I think they look nice.

I'm extremely happy with the way the paint job turned out, now the only problem is keeping my car clean while still navigating through a long muddy driveway frequented by pot holes...

Let me know what you think of my car so far. I'm open to any comments, praise, or criticism so drop me a line in my guestbook. ________________________________________________________________________________ Update: (4/16/09): Engine swap done, new springs and shox.
Update: (8/02/08) New updates on engine install page.
Update: (12/3/07) Added a new page (& pics) for future mods.
Update: (9/2/07)Got some new pics after a little wash, wax, and wings.
Update: (3/15/06) Me and some friends were havin some fun in the parking lot of this place we get wings at. I smoked the tires up a little bit (didn't want to draw too much attention this close to the police station :D) and my buddy titanthedragon managed to catch it on his camera. Enjoy
