    tigeraid's Monte v2.0



    IT'S ALL HAPPENING AGAAAAAAAIN!

    After years of waiting for the right opportunity, I happened upon this '72 Monte Carlo. Had to jump on it for the right price.




    Only major surgery required is the trunk floor, and the lower quarters. Everything else just has a coat of rust on it from sitting outside. Everything's there, including all the hard-to-find trim pieces and random doodads. Previous owner recovered the entire interior with fresh leather, polished up or replaced all the chrome pieces, and provided lots of alternative body panels.

    My old Monte was my dream car, but I was young and broke and it was a piece of shit, so this is my second chance.

    eh, S'10's maybe half done. Suspension's together, motor is sitting in it. Debating whether to still go through the work required to put a stick in it, or just throw a 4L60E in so I can drive it.

    This year the priority is building a working SHOP at The Ranch anyway, so likely won't get to either one until next winter.

    These are my favorite MCs. I even loved the GTA:SA version of them.

    Really looking forward to seeing this project unfold!

    Are you implying I sit on all my projects?

    (I kinda do, other than the racecars. On accounta I ain't got no money. But now I sorta got money! So maybe!)
