    Mom and dad had a 74 Monte Carlo and my grandparents had a 76. Good to see another rare getting ready to hit the streets again. Great video buddy. Keep it up. Your southern Indiana fan. 😊

    I had a 77 Monte I bought in 1981, with 67k miles. Maroon with the swivel bucket seats! I was 19. Drove it till 89 and had 240k miles on it when she died on me. I didn't have a place to keep it or really do heavy work on her at the time so I sold it to a friend who parted it out. It had late 70's Corvette rims, so she was a cruiser, even with only a 305 engine.

    My 1st Monte Carlo was a 70 SS , I was a senior in hs and the car was 7 years old. Paid $1200 for it and it was a sweet ride.😊😊

    Sounds like a well used and loved car.

    Yay! I am super excited to see some progress with the Monte Carlo. That is one of my favorite of your cars. Sure hope you are cruising with it next Spring with a 6.0 LS. In the meantime let’s make that Chevelle run and drive too. ❤️😎

    Throw a flex fan on it. I did that to my 86 Z28 305 camaro and it cools great now.

    Glad to see you back with the old content, the auction stuff was quite boring.

    Finally a fix for the audio. I gave up commenting about it, your comments made it sound like I was the only one.

    And you are working hard at your age, you forgot your drop light ,creeper and a few other things, but at least you're still working at your age!

    Why would you take the air conditioning out.

      Old A/c systems are huge. A new style can be added later at half the space.

      I do not have anything in that price range currently but make sure to check out the police impound auction. It’s a little bit of a gamble, but you can get a lot better deal there.

    Seems like a huge waste of time to do all that work again.

      Maybe, but it’s what I enjoy doing
