Before (when I first got it)

Just added page 7 Jan. 23 2007.

This is my newest project. A 1985 Chevy monte carlo. I bought it for $500 and the guy who owned it brought it to me all the way from New Philadelphia OH
It was his former drag car. I bought the car with no motor, trans., radiator, or wheels and tires. It has bad floor in the front driver's side and some surface rust outside. The t-tops leak as well.

The good is I received all original paper work w/ the car from 1985. Pre delivery inspection papers, owner's manual, warranty, some other booklets and stuff and the original window sticker that was the dealer copy.

This will be my newest summer project and I will update pics of the progress as it goes along so check back soon.

Theese first pics are the ones sent to me by the previous owner before I got the car.
