I like the old G.M. truck in the background . A good job on cutting up the Monte Carlo .You could almost do a custom add a pickup box and wheels and make a tandem pickup.

Never no until you try .I bet you thought your project cars might not turn out the way you wanted the first time you tried one.You have nothing to lose when you try something new except a cheap little car and it can always be tossed in the pile of scrap cars l.o.l.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Tricky with where to go next. I was still thinking trashed demo derby car but that would require losing the hood and remaining windshield. If you want to keep it as an accident car, I would remove one of the rear wheels (the nicer of the two) and bend the other one towards the bodywork as much as possible.

Next, if it did that much damage to the rear of the car there's going to be more structural damage to the car too. I'm thinking the roof needs a bit of damage as well. But this gets very tricky as it's hard to do realistic roof damage. In this case, the truck that hit it probably caved the C-pillars in and buckled the roof in the process. So grab a pair of plyers and bend the C-pillars in towards one another. The roof should buckle a bit on it's own in the process. If it doesn't, take a pair of needle-nose plyers and prop one end on the interior's rear shelf, and open them up until the roof starts bending upwards in the middle.

Until the pics loaded I thought this was going to be a Monte SS with primer, rust and bondo all over it. Because a lot of them look that way. Theres even one on peopleofwalmart.com painted up as a Seasame Street car with Big Bird on the hood, The Count on the passenger side, Grover on the driver side and Elmo on the trunk lid.
