Monte Carlo was bought with intentions to have it as a drag car, but to
repaint it and fix back up original as a Monte Carlo SS. It was
mainly primered when we bought it, with silver mirrors, a burgundy
bumper, and a black hood, so it looked rough, but it ran consistent
& great. We threw around some names for the car, one being
"The Queen of Spades", but we decided we'd just fix it back as
original as possible, but we didn't have any of the Monte Carlo SS
decals. We found Southern Exposure's site and seen how they could
make the "factory" decals for the Monte Carlo SS. So, we
had every intention on having them to do just that. The first
Saturday night that we took the car to the drag strip, before taking it
out on the track, we were checking under the hood to make sure all was
ready, when a huge spider appeared. It took the gang 45 minutes to
capture and kill this spider, that ended up being a black widow! So,
with that said....the Monte Carlo formed into "The Black
Widow", and that name has stuck since. We emailed the folks
at Southern Exposure and told them about our car and parts of our story
and they quickly created the perfect design for our car. Now,
"The Black Widow" has been transformed into a one of a kind
drag car with a real story that tells just exactly how it became a true
drag car named...."The Black Widow". Thanks a million
for your help!!
