I started with a basically stock, low mileage, leaky and dirty underneath but solid body with decent paint and fantastic interior 1985 Burgundy \ Burgundy Monte Carlo and this thread will chronicle how I turned it in to the Monte I always wanted.

This first thread shows detailed pictures of what I started off with and the complete under body restoration cleaning it all up, repainting everything on the chassis and even installing the Crate 383 under the hood. First winter project recap

This thread shows me pulling everything out of the interior except the dash to check on the floorpans, Rust encapsulating the perfect floor pans, then sound deadening the entire interior before installing new carpet and putting it all back together again. Interior Floor Restoration

Thanks everyone... I was disappointed when I noticed that I only put about 1200 miles on it this year. I plan on driving it a bunch more next year.
I've got a few ideas about solving the vibration problem it has that I'll work on this winter and maybe put some electric fans on it. Then after some new wheel locks, maybe I'll be more interested in driving it more.
For now though, she's put up for the winter.
