87 monte authers     : TEK_Xacto & Pathfinder

Thanks to            : Pathfinder for for letting me modify the 87 Monte Carlo SS (87) into 
                       an 86 SS Aero Coupe.  A huge thanx to TEK_Xacto and Mr_Sparkle for
                       information that I needed so I can make this car as accurate as 
                       possible, Mr_Sparkle for bringing this car to my attention and
                       HPB_Forever for tuning tips.

Description          :Wow, project number 6.  Well, modifying the 87 has been a success for me with the stock 84 and the custom 84, and now a 86 SS Aero Coupe.  This project was not too mind numbing as I already had some textures to start with, the model except for a few mods was ready, tuning I had worked on for the 84 so it only needed a few adjustments to be realisitc, the dash was also modified from the 84.  The Aero Coupe was introduced in 86 so that Monte Carlos could be used in NASCAR.  Although this did put it into NASCAR, sales were low in 86.  Only 200 white with burgandy interior were sold. (this is why I have a white set of textures on this car, the other colors are not factory, although there have been reports of a blueish grey color on some 86, this is not yet confirmed).  In 87 the car did a little better and was little different from the 86.  The 87 had more colors as well.  87 was also the last year for this type of Monte Carlo, no 88's were made.  This model also features a black color, this is purely for fun.

So what exactly have I changed?
-3d fully 3d modeled bottom
-rear window
-tail lights
-new wheels
-brand new wheel textures
-new textures, non damaged white textures were used as a base
-more rounding on the wheel wells
-new dash (mod of 84)
-new tuning
-few other small things

Known issues include: the red stripes around the wheel wells are not perfect. Now this is being a bit a perfectionist but I will mention this.  Although this is not too noticable and does not cause any real problems, the stripes on the white textures that rap around the wheel wells are not perfect. This is the best I could do, you see I am limited to the size of the textures, and so they are not quite smooth :(
