Featured Car - Pete Carnelli's Monte Carlo LS


Pretty sedate looking, huh? But under that mild exterior beats a Buick beast!

Pete has performed the heart surgery on this Monte (and all the other work) all by himself! He decided that there were way too many Monte Carlo SS's running around, so he chose an LS as the starting point. Then he dropped in a potent Buick V6 and now he's showing taillights to many of the locals!
