  1. Morning, Just joined FGMC and wanted to introduce myself. My name is JR and I am a Bay Area native. I purchased a 1972 Monte Carlo a little over a year ago as a project car for my father to have fun with. He was debating retirement and after my mother passed, I wanted to make sure he had something to keep him busy. Growing up he would do body work and paint as a side gig and a hobby. Unfortunately, after stripping all the primer off our Monte, it was worth less than scrap price. I’m talking even the trunk divide was held to the body by fiberglass and glue. The previous owner sold a great story about how he drove it once a week and got it from the original owner but it became clear that he/they spent all their time covering up and fiberglassing in all the missing metalwork. It did however come with a box of original documents from the original owner that showed just how loved the car was. We couldn’t let it be treated the way she had been so our build went from just get her running and have a cruiser to rebuild and update. Though, like most projects, she’s over budget and behind schedule she will be one of a kind. She’s definitely given my pops a new passion as he has taken to the web and reached back out to old friends to dust off his skills. That to me is worth every penny 10x over. I’ve had a few Camaros and a 72 short bed so I am new to the Monte Carlo world but it has been so nice to see the community this car has created. Happy to hear and share what ever I can. -Jr Pictures 1&2: Day we picked her up (bad lean and alignment way off. Thought it was suspension but it was a sign of things we’d find) 3&4 Peek at the interior and a shot of what she looked like all covered up 5 Some of the box of documents she came with
