Thanks to the guys at R.E.H. Automotive in Benson, NC
they dismantled the Monza, assembled the twirler, attached the shell to the rotissere
some of the nicest, hardest working guys in the USA

thank you for taking on the MONZA challenge.

thanks also to the members who have helped find parts and give advice
you know who you are.

H-BODY SITE MEMBER, BILLY MANNING SAVES FACTORY V-8 CAR FROM CRUSHER

Thanks to Billy Manning, a super nice guy by the way... an in-tact 1977 Monza Coupe, factory 5.0 Litre V-8 car has been saved form the dreaded Crusher.

a personal thanks to billy for selling this car to me, it will be an invaluable resource for putting my car back together

and probably for a few donor parts too, sorry no parts for sale now fellow h-body members, but in approx a year i will have gotten most things

that i will use from the car, then i will list what is left over.

yes, adobe illustrator.
used a photo of originals
as a template, and just drew the images over the old ones.

they were printed on 2mil white high performance vinyl
then laminated with a clear film


cant wait to apply them.

Dang, you should sell those, or at least let people pay you for the material to print them so as not to get in trouble with anyone......
