1970 Monte Carlo SS454
- Rusted out rear pillar before
... and after. Pillar was repaired with donor metal from another 1970
Monte. This repair was required on both the driver and passenger side of
the car.
- This Monte Carlo came equipped with a vinyl top which
destroyed the metal roof underneath after 35 years of trapping moisture. A
donor roof was located and installed to "better than factory fit".
- This Monte Carlo suffered from a rotted trunk panel (sheetmetal
just below rear window) as most A-Body cars do. An aftermarket piece was
used to repair this area and restore the trunk channel.
- Rust damage to the
driver's side floorpan, so the floorpan was replaced.
- Before and after photos of restoration work on the
frame/suspension.
- Rear quarter panel replacement.
- Installation of a new 502 crate motor (provided by
customer), steering box, and brake system (booster, master cylinder, brake
lines).
- More progress pictures ...
