    hello people ,

    i am rene and i am from the netherlands , i own a 74 chevy monte carlo we have this car for about 12 years , and recently we bought a 1953 pontiac catalina coupe de luxe ,
    it is a project and i am not totally sure what it is gonna be ,
    i want to lower it and put in a new interior .
    the paintjob will be satin black with a checkered black , silver and red roof

    it has the original straight 8 engine , and it is going to stay that way .

    this car is from new mexico , and it is in great shape , it looks like **** , but underneath it`s all good .

    i will put up some pics later
