This 1985 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, offered by Car Bar Atlanta, has been significantly upgraded and meticulously maintained. Key enhancements include replacing the original 305 engine with a 350, adding a fresh paint job with a subtle pearl effect, a new fuel tank, digital gauges, and an upgraded air conditioning system. The car’s interior has been completely redone, featuring a new headliner, B&M slap shifter, modern stereo system, and tinted windows, with minor imperfections in the dash. The vehicle has 17-inch N90 wheels with nearly new tires and is reported to be rust-free, highlighting its Georgia origins. The car is listed at $21,500, do you think you could build it cheaper? I don’t.

$5,900 Carbon Fiber Monte Carlo Doors from Ultra Carbon

admin — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 21:16:37 +0000

If you have an extra $5,900 in your G-Body budget to spend, consider lacing your project with a set of carbon fiber doors from Ultra Carbon.

Established by Greg Shampine in 2012, Ultra-Carbon originated in a garage, quickly gaining national recognition for its innovative and exquisite carbon fiber parts. Breaking away from conventional norms, the venture, known for crafting unique structural components, is currently in the testing phase for advanced releases. Beyond structural elements, Ultra-Carbon’s commitment to quality extends to producing beautiful body parts with clear carbon as a standard feature, offering a clear, UV-resistant gel coat finish. Whether customers prefer the pristine appearance or opt for paint or clear coat, Ultra-Carbon ensures an easy, cost-effective installation without the need for extensive bodywork.

Cost-effective? Yes. To have a shop custom make these doors, you may be over $18k in labor. According to Ultra Carbon, they have over 180 hours into a set of door molds. If that’s nothing to a boss, remember someone has to install the internals, drill out and mount the mirror location. Wait, the mirrors, you’re not just going to throw your heavy G-Body mirrors on these are you? Better invest in some Carbon Fiber mirrors as well.
