I'm painting the wheel's for my Dad's car. The car is an 87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. The wheels are Blazer ZQ8 (performance package). The dark background is what I'm applying. It's a deep graphite metallic color. My first time using a spray gun... :rolleyes:

Nice Work! You could quite possibly be the coolest chick in the world. Drives a Spyder, paints wheels...

Why thank you, Jared - you just made my day! :D

We are very close to delivering Dad's SS (the car above). Two weeks from today... It's a surprise, he thinks I sold the car to a guy in Tennessee. Turns out I'm a big fat red-headed liar.

Here's the before and a couple of "after".

Wow..great transformation Angela! I thoroughly commend you on the transformation and also the sneaky surprise. The wheels came out fantastic, looks like the car was completely painted? I am a big fan of those SS Montecarlos, I was upset with GM that they never offered a 350 TPI motor for them and only the 305. Either way a very cool car, especially as it is the very very rare Aerocoupe. Your dad is going to be a very very happy guy...I know I would be.

Thanks for sharing - Yasin

Pretty much a tear down and throw-most-of-it-away, redo the rest of it. I can truthfully say that there is not a single part of this car that hasn't been replaced or upgraded in some way... For heaven's sake I cleaned and painted the BELLY of it - proving, once more, that I am definately a bubble off plumb. But I do love my Daddy. :)

Don't want to drift too far on this thread, but here's the whole thing.

Angela - I just read your portion of the 16 pages over on the Monte Carlo SS site - WOW!!! can't wait for the details of the unveil!

IMHO this deserves its own thread here with a link

I was wondering how this "little" project was turning out.
Hope to see some video of the presentation.....
It looks great, Angela.

I think it's time for that (and I'll quit hi-jacking - LOL!). I think I have just in mind how to open that thread...

angela

I look forward to it!

OK - done - before I get a Pelican wing-slap upside the head for hijacking!

Replaced old Appalachian wood burning fireplace insert with new Jotul C550 Rockland

The rear of our house is west-facing, and the summers were brutal. These pics aren't the best, but they are the best I have right now...The shingles are spliced in, and don't quite match, but being the rear of the house it doesn't bother me too badly.
