neverdone71 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hey everybody! I have been gone awhile, but I finally got settled into a place where I can begin a project / dream that started in 1982! Got a 30x40 shop to start a frame-off restoration on my 1970 Monte. I'll send pictures as I go, let the games begin! I'm glad to be back, I hope everyone is doing well!

Come on, if not pictures of the Monte, let's see that 30 X 40 shop you have to work in. rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Yeah, I got one of those dream cars too. 1965 Chevelle(oops). Had it since '84 .been moved 3 times from house to house. It's all in pieces waiting it's turn. Going to retire sometime soon, build a garage for Running cars,then garage it's in will be the work shop. My Monte is taking it's space right now. It will be a full restoration just like the Monte. That took 4 yrs, weekends only to do. I'm hoping a lot less time on the Chevelle. I see you joined here in '08. I just finished the Monte that year. Fast forward and now going to clone as a Custom. BBC ,turbo 400, 3:73 12 bolt. Glad to see you back on the forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdone71 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Thanks everybody! It's good to be back on here again! I will attempt to send some pictures. I'm amazed the car is in such good shape after the rough storage conditions it went through over the last 40+ years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdone71 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thanks for the compliments everybody! I got lucky and found that shop, fortunately a house came along with it! I'm going to get an engine puller later this month and take the body off the frame and get to work. I haven't decided on the color yet, too far down the road. I will be looking for a used rotisserie later this summer. So much to do, I can't wait!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boyte Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Ok, I know what color most of you guys are expecting me to say, but I'm not. LoL 😂 I bet any color you decide on will be beautiful , After all the trouble you are going through doing it correctly, and starting with the rotisserie, you are definitely doing it right . This will be a fun build to watch. Good luck my friend !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
