I like that car and of course have been following his buildup for years. Too bad Scott deliberately #@&%ed up the pristine door panels, thinking that "it's just a Monte, who cares if I destroy these nice door panels."

"I continued with the stereo and speaker install today. This included me cutting up the pristine door panels for the 6" round speakers. Yeah, I'm a edit for hacking up good door panels. But, before your undies get too twisted; take another look at this car. It's a $5000 car with an I beam for a front bumper. This is not a LS6 Chevelle. Since I cut up the doors for speakers, I said #### it, I'll do the same for the radio."

I know he's got a lot of time tied up in the car and wish him luck with the sale. By the way, excellent and entertaining write-up, as usual! And it's good to see the Monte get some much-deserved press. They are super, outstanding cars which people seem to have forgotten. That's what they were built for and why they were such massive, successful sellers for GM. Our cars handle superbly and it's nice when someone recognizes that. Welcome to the club, Scott! LOL....wanna bet he decides against selling the Monte?
