New Member here looking for a little help :)
Hello from Arizona. 
I have a 1974 Chevy Monte Carlo, 350 small block chevy. Currently its blue but as I work on it I'm sure it will change to primer grey lol. I inherited this car from my uncle that passed away a few years ago, and I've just started restoring it.
I joined the forum because i could use some help with some suggestions on how to find parts for it, as its been very tough looking in my area for a few things (I just found a hood hinge after looking since May lol) and maybe some customization ideas. Plus making some online friends with some mechanical knowledge could really benefit me.
Anyway, thanks for your time, i look forward to your opinions, suggestions, and comments.

Thanks for the input, yeah this 2nd gen is in reasonable condition, really its just the little things... today i found a hood hinge after looking for 4 months! very excited about it.
Mainly now its interior, tuning up the carburetor and replacing parts that are missing, and fixing up the suspension. i'm looking more to restore it, with a few added perks if I can come across them.
I'm definitely going to check out those places and sites for parts. Will post pics as soon as i can. and thanks everyone for helping me feel at ease
