The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. Deriving its name from the namesake Monegasque city, the Monte Carlo was marketed as the first personal luxury car of the Chevrolet brand. Introduced for the 1970 model year, the model line was produced across six generations through the 2007 model year, with a hiatus from 1989-1994. The Monte Carlo was a closely aligned variant of the Pontiac Grand Prix through its entire production.
From 1970 to 1972, the Monte Carlo used the "A-Special" platform with the Grand Prix, shifting to the A-body intermediate chassis for 1973-1977. For 1978, the model line underwent extensive downsizing; a major revision saw the A-body chassis redesignated as the G-body for 1981. After an abbreviated 1988 model year, the Monte Carlo was replaced by the two-door Chevrolet Lumina.
For the 1995 model year, the Monte Carlo was revived, replacing the two-door Lumina. Sharing the front-wheel drive W-platform with the two-door Grand Prix, the Monte Carlo was again slotted above the Camaro as the largest Chevrolet coupe. Following the discontinuation of the four-door Lumina, the Chevrolet Impala became the four-door equivalent of the Monte Carlo. After the 2002 model year, the Grand Prix coupe was discontinued, leaving the Monte Carlo as the largest two-door coupe produced by an American auto manufacturer.
In response to declining sales of the model line, Chevrolet discontinued the Monte Carlo after the 2007 model year;[2] as of current production, the Camaro (reintroduced for 2010) and the Corvette are the sole two-door Chevrolet model lines. During much of its production, the Monte Carlo represented the Chevrolet brand in stock car racing. During the 1980s, the Monte Carlo SS was introduced, featuring aerodynamically-enhanced styling; as part of its revival, the Monte Carlo again represented Chevrolet in stock car racing from 1995 through its discontinuation.
The styling of the 1970 model-year Monte Carlo is distinguished by its chromed rectangular grille having a fine grid pattern of 720 small squares with two horizontal dividers and centered in it was a chrome and red crest emblem adorned by a Corinthian helmet (commonly referred to as the "knight's crest"[7]), a thin hood spear with no vertical hood ornament, round headlamps with rounded chrome bezels (which appeared on a prototype 1970 Chevelle front end proposal which was rejected for the 4 headlight design), circular parking lamps inset into the front bumper directly below the headlamps, and tail lights with chrome trim around the perimeter of the lens, only.
The standard powertrain was the 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet "Turbo-Fire" small-block V8 with a two-barrel carburetor, rated at 250 hp (186 kW) (gross) at 4500 rpm and 345 lb·ft (468 Nm) of torque at 2800 rpm, mated to a column-mounted 3-speed Synchro-Mesh manual transmission.
Various options were available. A two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission (on 350 CID engines only), three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic, or a four-speed manual; most Monte Carlos were built with the Turbo-Hydramatic. Variable-ratio power steering, power windows, air conditioning, power seats, "rally" wheels, bucket seats, center console, full instrumentation, and other accessories were also available, bringing the price of a fully equipped Monte Carlo to more than $5,000.
Optional engines included the four-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 350 CID small block V8, rated at 300 hp (224 kW) at 4800 rpm and 380 lb·ft (515 Nm) at 3200 rpm, the Turbo-Fire 400 (400 CID/6.5 L) with a two-barrel carburetor, rated at 265 hp (198 kW) at 4800 rpm and 400 lb·ft (542 Nm) at 3800 rpm, and the Turbo-Jet 400 (402 CID/6.6 L) with a four-barrel carburetor, rated at 330 hp (246 kW) at 4800 rpm and 410 lb·ft (555 Nm) at 3200 rpm). Note that the two Chevrolet 400 CID V8s offered this year were actually two different designs. The two-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 400 was a Small Block Chevrolet V8 engine, similar, but different internally, to the 350, while the Turbo-Jet 400 was a slightly enlarged version of the 396 CID big block V8 and had an actual displacement of 402 CID.

I always look forward to Wednesday and Saturday for your latest videos.👍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

While many folks know of Rod Stewart's self built train layouts, few realized Frank Sinatra was also a model builder. But his band leader was always critiquing the way the "Chairman of the Board" assembled kits. So Frank wrote a song about it - "I built it MY WAY" - sing it Chris!

[@danchilds881]

The headers were called "180 degree" headers and man did they give off a very special sound!!!!!!!!!!! The best part of my youth was whenever a 180 car showed up to race!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Me too @Dan Childs! There were two guys in our (east TN) that ran them all of the time. Some of the traveling racer's ran the 180's too. Sounded like Indy cars on a dirt track! You could hear those cars even over the roar of the rest of the field.

[@michaelleftwich8186]

Saw a few cars with these headers back when i was younger at a track in Nevada, Mo. Sounded a lot different than just straight headers.

[@keithlarge1151]

The 180 degree headers are the mainstay of asphalt late models and super late models for the last 40 + years.

[@michaelleftwich8186]

Yeah, they had their own distinct sound. Wasn't hard to pick them out of a pack of other cars that were running straight headers.

[@jimchapman1524]

Chris when was the last time you changed your air filter on your spray booth . i wasch your model building every day.?

[@strivingx67]

Whats the brush on glue he uses again???

[@boss9mustang404]

Bondene

[@harpermotorsports16]

I'll have to build this one, as I really enjoyed the GTO version! The tires are the best racing tires I've seen in a kit!

[@99bigjim]

Back in the day, they had a Dick Trickle A&W Mustang in this series.... I would love to see that come out again... I just finished rebuilding my old one from 45 years ago.

[@haljohnson5729]

First thing I thought of was the Nascarlo from the show Roadkill.....I may just pick this up.Nice build as always.Thanks

[@goratgo1970]

Nice to see the assembly part, guess the GTO stocker build made it familiar? With a few of these kits out there, looking for the best donor to make a 57 Chevy stocker...

[@timarthur9425]

Great review and awesome build.bump and grind part of racing for sure.thanks for tips on damage looked xlnt. back in the days of metal tooth paste tubes I used to make damaged fenders out of them. Peace

[@jfide650]

I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now. How do you touch up the the spots on the parts when you cut them from the tree and when they have to be held by the alligator clips? I know that sometimes the can be installed down and are hidden that way. In this video, the steering wheel is held on the tree at two points. Seems like it would be hard to hide those spots.

[@rocketsock4297]

The model turned out so good! Super realistic, especially the damage. I can hear the tires scratching and denting the door.

[@richardlee1092]

Chris, this car car looks absolutely fantastic!!! Love your color choices, and just the right amount of DAMAGE! Out of all the super stockers I like the look of this one. A must have. Keep up the great work!

[@13Dixiefried]

Was just thinking about this kit the other day, as well as getting all the rest of them.

[@robertnussberger6449]

The chassis in this kit was used in a few kits the Monte gto mustang and 1960s camaro. In the 80s sae did a how article on turning these chassis into a mid 70s late model dirt car. I don't know what made it a dirt car chassis but that's what they called it. Nice build . Cool dents

[@randytaylor1258]

It's the big cut-outs for the wide treaded tires. To make the point, you could leave off all the glass and put a square of screening in front of the driver.

[@barryhamill6950]

You’d think that cockpit would get brutal hot for the driver while summer racing in the south.

[@strivingx67]

A master at Pre-assembly for sure!

[@davidpayne4315]

Another awesome job as usual Chris stay safe and enjoy

[@grahamwaldrop9074]

Ive never thought of doing dents in my cars, but that is really cool! You inspire me a lot, so thank you!

[@jackmcgill3150]

My headers were like that on my real race car. I love this kit! I hope I can find it! We have a hobby lobby wear we live, but it really doesn't have a great selection.

[@ronburley7026]

Awesome job as usual

[@od1452]

I hope they do the Mustang and Camero.

JEGS!

The message at the end would be nice if you could read it . It's partially blocked by the other links with pictures

[@rodnokken7759]

I'm building a GTO version to give to a friend. It won't be the last. This is one of the best chassis in scale modeling.

[@jimmccauley9099]

That is the first time I've seen General Kinetics decal. Ran their cams and components back in the 70s. Cool!

[@maryfiltz800]

I like the tire marks you made on the driver's side - very different and interesting.

[@TheRocksRocketGuys]

I’m just getting back into model cars after a 25+ year break. I enjoy watching your build videos since I learn something new to try each time. I really liked the race damage you showed here. Out of curiosity, if you wanted to show bumper damage and perhaps some paint from another car on it, how would you go about it?

[@chrisandnicolepurcell683]

chris, thanks for sharing your builds i have learned a ton buy watching you what kind of glue are you using in this video with the brush in the cap. thanks again chris.

[@randytaylor1258]

Tamiya's cement -- in 3 different strengths -- each comes with a brush in the cap. Handy!

[@joemazzola7387]

Imagine the noise and heat driving that in the summertime heat love the scratch and dents looks realistic

[@randytaylor1258]

Hey, man -- that was fun! That chrome pen is a snap. The pre-printed tires are cool -- you could make some fine black lines to simulte the stencil marks on those bull-ring specials A little time on Google could give you options for painting accessories like shocks, filters, carbs, etc., instead of feeling bound by the instructions. Make it the way you want it!

[@modelsbyhand]

Looks great. Nice effects with the paint on the damage panels!

[@freedomfighter69]

Great build, a few bumper dings wouldn't hurt given the nature of the short tracks it would have raced on. Awesome!

[@horsepower711]

Just a comment that would have helped with some of the assembly,and would have made the underhood area a little more correct is that the carburetor in your build is on sideways, the part you have facing forward is the passenger side, that semi circular part on the rearward portion of that side is the diaphragm for the vacuum secondaries. Those weren't usually used on the racing engines unless they had way to much power and would use that style of a carb so the secondaries would open later and a lot smoother than the mechanical type that was normally used, it was fairly common on slick dirt tracks or really short asphalt tracks when running a big block engine.

[@randallwegman1028]

Ha, cool. I picked up the version that Model King put out, what, 15 years ago now?

[@myworldinscale5737]

Thoroughly enjoyed this build review. A far more detailed kit than I would have expected from just looking at the box art. I will have to get one. Question if I might Chris. The Krylon primer you use. Is it a sandable filler primer similar to Plasti-kote? We are just starting to get Krylon stocked all the way over here in New Zealand and the Prices are really good.

[@hpiguy]

I don't use Krylon primer, I show the cans I use in the painting section. I haven't tried sanding it, my method is spray and pray. I don't sand, cut, or polish. I would think any of those primers can be sanded once completely dry if one desired.

[@randytaylor1258]

Test non-hobby paints first to make sure they don't attack the plastic.

[@SpeedKing49]

Nice lookin stocker

[@spankyham9607]

I would like to appeal to Round 2 in making their body shells clear. I always loved building race cars and love the detail and how they look. It is too bad it all gets covered up with a body shell. Clear would be nice, can still paint it if one wanted too.

[@hpiguy]

Best way would be to write them a nicely worded email. I have zero influence on the company. Thanks!

[@lukasgarage956]

I built a Earnhardt kit years ago and cut some cutouts in the body to show some interior detail came out great to me.

[@yukmainmobil4802]

wow full toy one box always success👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mattluszczak8095]

Oh nice!! Step up from my 65 chevelle stocker

[@OSRNetwork2016]

about how many of the liquid chrome pens do you go threw...or can you use the same one for multiple models....thanks....

[@hpiguy]

I've had the same one for years.

[@ronroberts2453]

Fun build Chris, excellent racing damage tutorial 👏 and presentation!!

[@jimchapman1524]

Thats a cool model

[@bigbear4422]

Love that rubbing is racing look!!!!

[@kennethdrown5217]

Wished you would build me a blue an gold one with number 76 on the door in remeberence of my dead brother 😢

[@danrosenello4847]

Nicely done Chris ! That looks like the perfect car to set on the bed of the Racer’s Wedge kit. 🤔

[@justcraig1000]

dude what brand of glue do you use. I see your vids all the time and I see the brush with white cap ???? Thanks

[@hpiguy]

Plastruct Bondene, modelroundup.com sells it by the bottle or case.

[@ronburley7026]

Awesome job Chris, my next project

[@reriley20021]

you're exactly right, build it YOUR way. there is no right or wrong to assembly procedure. what works for one person, may not work for another.

[@MrCocg1]

Question: Will the Future/Pledge Floor Polish applied bring gloss to a flat finish rattle can color I may spray on a body I have and like?

[@markbehr88]

Well done. Love the damage.

[@Leigh5050]

Outstanding! Awesome video channel 🙂

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the visit!

[@fatdaddio3796]

Is there a specific reason you use gray primer instead of white?

[@hpiguy]

I use all four shades of Rustoleum primer (red, black, white, grey), just depends on what I want the final details to look like over it.

[@MyDuckfoot]

Just one small observation the roof # is backwards. It should readable by the fans in the grandstands. But it's still an awesome build

[@shannonmorrow2399]

Wrong, They're correct as he has them.

[@horsepower711]

It would depend on the local track rules, in the higher ranking NASCAR divisions they wanted the numbers positioned like this so they could be read when the car was going down the back straight farther away from the scoring tower and announcer but almost all local short tracks wanted them done so they were easier to read from the stands as the cars went by in front of the spectators.

[@ryderjames1675]

How long did it take to make it

[@justcallmeboats]

Another great video!! What brand is the model glue that you used in this video?

[@gerrycomfort7027]

I HAVE TO SAY MAN,O, MAN.

[@kinleycalvert2915]

Not my particular cup of tea (stocks & gassers). Still watching because your vids are fabulous and I learn a lot. Thx again for a great build vid. Nice job on the damage.

[@randytaylor1258]

Nice music, too!

[@richardbennett8678]

I have just the body of Coddington 57 Shizoom. Any ideas for it?

[@hpiguy]

Paint it up and find a chassis for it.

[@richardbennett8678]

@@hpiguy any idea as to what kit?

[@krugmeister7301]

Nice Nascar MONTE CARLO..👏🏻👏🏻😑

[@charliebowman785]

All those details on the door , the exhaust stains and all the rest make an xcellent model. Kudos Chris

[@maccustoms2295]

Love these super stocker kits. Great build like how you added the damage to make it your own build. Thanks for sharing have a great weekend

[@randytaylor1258]

Love the tire marks. Small teams don't always have the time and money for touch up paint.

[@MyDuckfoot]

With all the crazy going on in the world it so nice to tune it all out and watch you build a kit. I've been building model since I was a kid, now at 60 I'm still at it but I'm afraid the hand shakes aren't helping me with detailing but I'm still trying. I spend covid rebuilding old vehicles I built when I was 14 or 15 years old, yes I still have some of my old kit.. please keep thekitscoming.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

That's a really cool kit. I'll have to get one.

[@alensley1368]

Nice. I have the GTO to build. Great to learn the tips from you! I bet those headers were hot!

[@randytaylor1258]

They were often painted white with VHT -- Very High Temperate -- paint because regular paint used to burn off.

[@cjreed874]

When you do your decals do you soak them in water or just use the decal solvent

[@hpiguy]

All waterslide decals must be soaked in warm water first. I think I even put that in writing in this video this time.

[@Timpscars]

@@hpiguy is that decal solvent you are applying with the Q-tip then? Looked like they were floating on the liquid after you oriented them, especially the sides of the hood. No air pockets?

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

Nice! 👍

[@rickdee67]

I enjoyed this video, it must've been hot as hell inside the car with that exhaust even with the cover. I like the body damage! 👍👍

[@gamerofwar_]

Thanks for showing us how to make donut mark I will use that technique on my nascar kits
