Default My first car, coming back to life

I have been holding onto my first car for a long time. It is a 1980 Monte, it was originally a 229 car. It had a frame off restoration in 1994, at which time the handles were shaved and the antenea were frenched in. But now, I have recently came across a motor home with a 454 and 400 turbo, so now it is time for a major transformation. By the way, My dad bought the car in 1982, and gave it to me for graduation in 1989. This will be my first big block project, as I have always been a small block fan. I hope to get pics along the way as the car comes back to life and back out into the sun shine again.
