This is my '86 Monte Carlo SS with polished plastic and a wired engine. A refugee from my dirty and dusty model shelves.

Nice job, MrMike. Brought life back to an old dusty. And it looks like there was no damage to the striping. Kudos. 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 1705482731

Thank you RetiredMike! I was very careful not to damage the decals while giving the body a bath. No breaks or missing sections...I like it!

Hi,
That's a true survivor, great build!
I've just bought a Revell '85 Oldsmobile 442/FE3X, it seems very close to your Monte Carlo, a nice reference when I build mine.

Cheers,
Nuno.

Thank you nuno22467! The Oldsmobile and the Monte Carlo are of the same G Body platform. The outside may be different, but inside the body structure is the same.

Beautiful recovery build! Always nice to be able to restore without re-doing, it keeps the original 'essence' far more than refurbishing does, great job!

Thank you Kats! This was a simple rebuild. Clean it up, rebuild it and put it back on the shelf.
