Well in the next couple weeks or so the Monty is going to be going under the knife. This is the first of the mods that got done this last weekend. Was pretty easy to do and it got sprayed on with a Ceiling Texture gun and worked excellent. Got the herculiner and I am pleased with the results. I also took off the driver side Exhaust manifold and it has had a HUGE crack in it for a while now thats been annoying the heck outta me. So I got some nickel rod welding rod and got em welded up. Sounds much better now... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> anyways heres the pics.
