Hey all,
My name is Patrick, from upstate NY near Albany,new member (I think) I have been on here for years but finally just joined as I actually have a monte again. Had one about 12 years ago and had to get rid of it, finances not right at the time. I may have joined then, but don't remember. Now I shopped around and finally picked up a 71. Untouched for the most part motor untouched has been repainted and had some quarter repair. Not because of rust but look like it got hit and repaired. Pretty solid car for the most part , not as many surprises as I thought . Will try to post some pics as I progress. Its going to go black , black vinyl top and interior going to buckets as well. Probably not all at once but as finances allows. Inspired by all the work and knowledge you guys have on here. So I will post and will wait for you guys to tell me where I am going wrong LOL. Hope to meet some new people on here too and hopefully hit some of the meets and swap stories . Thanks for looking.

Loosing some originality .. mixed emotions about this..
