Santiago Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here is my current project a 72 Custom Monte Carlo. This is my first car that I got from my dad when I was 16, I am the third owner. He bought this car in 1977 or 1978. Here are some pics prior to the rebuild. This is what it looked like when my dad first bought it sorry old pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
