I don't think it would be any more of a problem then with a scratch on a painted car

Ive painted my monte with JD blitz black and loved it and am in the process of building a 1985 cutlass that I won't be ready to paint for a year or so I want to get the drivetrain done first so someone suggested a vinyl wrap for the time being. Met a guy who did his own BMW with a satin black...

that totaly changes the look of the car excellent job guys.................

shot the nose on my 72 monte with it because it was going to have to sit outside over the winter and i had only a light coat of primer on it , anyway went out this morning and brushed the snow off with a broom and wiped it with a towel and it looks like it was painted yesterday

just to clarify the JD Blitz Black is not a flat paint it is a satin finish. it is not a primer it is a paint therefore it has uv protectors in it and will not chalk up like a primer. I clean mine with a wet towel and after 3 years it still looks like the day I shot it. Just remember to put it...

cant go wrong with the JDBB I used it on my 85 monte ss 4 years ago and its still holding up great. used 8 to 2 with my reducer because it just looked a bit to thick for me.

I would reccomend you go to a good body shop and have them tackle the job. Ive had some luck with a good wetsanding then polishing compound but if youve never done it yourself I wouldnt try, its best left to the pros. Whatever you do make sure you dont give the offenders another chance to do it...

The drivers door on my 1988 Monte SS sticks out on the rear lower edge. the alignment along the fender line looks good as does the upper level at the window line. It latches closed perfectly and the hinges are not loose or sagging. Its just the bottom rear of the door that sticks out about 1/2...

must be far

as you can see in the pic it still needs some sanding to get out that bump . thats why I sprayed it black it makes every improfection show up.

Ive added scoops of plastic and fiberglass to steel hoods and fiberglass to fiberglass and find the best way to do it is a few small rivets then fiberglass resin and cloth, several layers starting small and widening with each new layer. Then some sanding followed by some fiberglass filler to get...

Was doing some reading and came across this dist cap from Accel, Its called an HEI corrected dist cap . It allows you to wire your HEI cap in the direct plug order instead of firing so your plug wires are all in order at the cao and dont cross over each other. Anyone using it? pros? cons...

I just did a major relocation job on my proportioning valve and line lock. I moved everything up to mount alongside the master cylinder. Needed a bunch of different fittings and my local speed shop didnt have what I needed so I went over to AutoZone. The clerk took me right to the back stock...

Is there any reason other then cosmetics to run brake backing plates on the front of my Monte. This is a track only car that I just switched to tubular upper and lower a-arms with qa-1 coil overs.

Im looking for a set of front disc brake backing plates for my 85 monte anyone know who sells them. Prefferably new.

no one?

Was looking at my dissassembled front end this morning with nothing to do untill the rest of the parts get here and I noticed the big ugly plug on the firewall that connects to the fuse panel and thought what do I need this for? So out it came along with every unnessessary wire in the car and...

Im with you Madmax, I just read through 20 pages of posts and am still confused. I have an 85 Monte, front disc, rear drum. Right now Im running a linelock. To acomplish this I capped off one of the 2 front brake lines at the proportioning valve then from the other port at the proportioning...

If its a full frame car like the Montys and other G-Bodys I believe it has to be welded to the frame to pass cert. I welded my rear bars right on top of the spring perches but believe if you welded a plate on top of the perch then welded the tube to the plate that would be acceptable however...

looks like were on our own here Griz, Ill let you know what I find out.
