Hi `Chuck & Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family.

It's great you found a 4th Gen Monte... How's the condition of your Monte ? What has to be done to it ?

Look forward to reading all about it & seeing some pictures.

Thanks for the welcome. the monte is about 80% complete. Has 305 motor bored 30 over, higher cam, headers, Edelbrock intake with 650 carb. Tranny has been reworked. The rear end is 373 limited slip. I think I will change that to a 388 or 410 possie. Interior is new except the dash witch needs a lot of help. It has been repainted but I am going to repaint it as it is not to my liking. I will try to get some pics over the weekend if the weather lets me get it out of the garage.
