I had a 72 M. C. Blue with a black leather top lowrider.. Damn! Those were the days.. I tried for years to find the fender skirts for it but could never find them..
Mate I'm watching from New Zealand, you and your son did an amazing job on the Monte. I had a 1970 Monte last year, only let it go so I could get the 66 Big block Chevy I have now. Love the Monte Carlo, awesome job. God bless.
That's how it's supposed to be. The things that really matter in life, and what's important in life you can count on one hand. Enjoy the car in good health and you guys keep safe !✌😉👍 PS I was 14yrs old when the Monte Carlo came out. They were sweet.👍
Say brother I just finished my 87 Caballero lowrider. Silver metallic sitting on 13in 72 cross lase with two pumps 8 batteries. Now I'm working on my 79 el Camino ss also pending spokes and switches
@@reyesbravo1341 sounds like sweet rides same here brother parts are hard to find for these rides I can't find my caballero grill emblem also restoring 84 gmc Sierra sb 2 wheel drive all my $ goes in my baby's I hope Im still married wen I'm finally finished with them she's mad 🤣
Mine is a 70 SS Shadow Gray and has the rallies with BF Goodrich TA's and a 450 HP 454. All done clean, and lopey cam. Sits about an inch lower than stock and is one bad hot rod. That is the only way to go on a 70 Monte.
Awesome work and great video! What year and make G-Body rear end did you replace the stock rear end with so you could run the side skirts? I wonder if it would have been easier to keep the stock rear end for a smoother ride and just roll and remold the rear fenders. I have a 465 horsepower Crate engine in my 70 monte and I'm afraid to go with a shorter G-body rear end just to put on the rear fender skirts though they look great. That car has too much power. I don't want to fish tale all over the place when I excelorate.
@@callejero559 What brake kit did you end up going with to work with your 13" or 14" TrueRay Wire wheels? Did you use the drum brakes or did you upgrade to disk brakes? Currie makes a 78-88 GM G-Body 9-inch rear end that I'm thinking about buying. They give you the choice of 11" inch drum brakes or 11" Inch Explorer disc brakes. I would love to use disk brakes but I'm not sure if they will work with my 14x7" 72 spoke reverse cross laced China's. I haven't even seen a disc brake kit that works exclusively for 13" & 14" wire wheels for a 1970 Monte Carlo. ABS makes lowrider kits but they are only for Impalas.
@@callejero559 Ok. Are those 14" inch rims and tires you're running or 13" inch? I just bought a front and rear brake conversion kit from ABS Power brakes that's made just for 13" & 14" lowrider wire wheels. Now I'm not sure what size wheel I should go with 13" or 14". I have rear fender skirts on my 70 Monte too. Now I'm trying to choose between the classic lowrider look versus a more comfortable ride.
@@biffstudd i went with 14” bolt on wheels either way it’s going to look good. And the Monte comes with stick disk breaks that clears the 13” and above wheels
@@callejero559 you're very much welcome. Man i wish i could get my elco painted nice like that. My baby sitting on primer. Although i do like the primer look.
I bought it if my brother Inlaw because I liked the body style. Not planing on getting ride of it, but I hear you resale value is not as hi as other cars.
@@RC-90605 you have to weld new mounting plates for spring placement, since G body sits in top of rear end and Monte is in front. Easy to get done then use G body top trailing arms.
What exact springs and shocks are you running on that set up? And what did you do about the brake lines? I’m considering swapping to a g rear to run 14x7 wires but then I'm worried that I’ll have a really sunk look if I were to swap back to 15x7 rallys.
@@charlieebn9809 I used stock springs and air shocks for now, until I install hydraulics. Brake line uses the same t mounted on top rear end and same line coming from Monte Carlo. I might just make a video on showing how I did it. I have Monte Rear end

That is one badass looking car!!! Great job in brining it back to life!!!!
Thank you another car saved
Broooo!! You're definitely an OG, you chose big hubs & laces? Shiiiiid you killed it with that and paint color.
Thank you, just trying to keep it with that old school look .

Fun cars to drive
Beautiful ride!! Loved this body Monte since the ‘Boulevard Nights’ movie showcased one!!
Buena suerte! ✌️

Nice second Gen Monte
Thats prep right there. Hands down
I owned one of these decades ago. Keep the GM rally wheels on it for a cleaner, more classic look.
I have them put away but our family all have lowrider’s so it’s only fitting that I put some white wheels.

Just wow ..
Is that a California car all its life? What did the floorboards and rockers look like? No rust and you didn’t need to replace?
In my opinion the first generation MC 70-72 are the baddest lowriders. Like it more than a 64 impala. Bucketlist "get a 72 MC"
I think it’s the nice body line that sets them apart
@@callejero559 what are your thoughts on the 73-77? I effin luv them they are probably my second favorite lowrider

Keith Mckever thank you
what did you need to do to make the g body rearend fit in the car?
Raw
What rear axle did you use to fit the wheels?
I love them TruSpokes...Bad Ass MC.
Bad ass work , how much you charge to do a 65 impala or 85 regal ?
I just work on my cars because I like to take my time 😂
It looks like you replace the rear end where did you got it from?
Niiiice!!! RESPECT 💐✊🏾✌🏾
Thank you 👊🏽
I wanna get one they got sum for 3500 over here in NM ready for paint
That’s a good deal
You guys got any tips or suggestions for restoring chrome
I had the bumpers rechromed, the stainless and aluminum I just polished them with a buffing wheel or 0000 steel wool and compound
them trus are hard to find nowadays unless you paying a arm and a leg for rims and shipping
I got these rims from my uncles friend had them since new I got lucky
Hand made art
Thank you 👊🏽
Dope work I’m not real good at spotting different makes of cars what where the last three I’m the video
It was my 59 nomad the 70 Monte Carlo and the 62 impala 63 convertible cadillac 76 caprice convertible
I'd like to know where you got the second shortened rear axle?
It’s off a gbody
Siiiiiick
Clean Ranfla. What color is it that you used
It was a color of a Lexus
💪
About how much was the cost for that complete restoration I got a 1970 that I'm thinking of restoring.
The car is located in Kingsburg California not that far from Fresno
Hey,Im not sure if you guys check this but what is the paint called
Is that paint color pepperdust?
It’s off a Lexus crazy looking looks tan when she n hits it and grayish in the shade
Nice choice. Similar to mine. These newer blends almost hit like a pearl.
@@dannyperez19 yeah tripped me out my son picked it, i wanted just a simple fawn color.
What did u use to bring the trim back with
I just used a buffing wheel with compound
The black wipe it off with aceton first
@@callejero559 thanks
What kind of color there?
Bro I wish I knew or had fam to help me get my 67 impala done nobody around here wants to do any work
If you have time start doing it yourself one thing at a time.
Thats a lot of Z-Grip bondo.
The majority of it comes off as I block it down.
What size of rims you rollin
14”
I almost never see one of these thats worth anything.
I bought it if my brother Inlaw because I liked the body style. Not planing on getting ride of it, but I hear you resale value is not as hi as other cars.
