One step at a time. Think, ask, think again and go for it. It's your car. Make a decision and embrace it. It really doesn't matter what other people think about your ride. It looks like a great project Jake and we are here to help you on the process excepting donations of course:)
as we are broke as you are.....But...we have valuable info for free

Elko. So which mine do you work at? My job has a shop in Elko so I've spent some time there.

I actually work for FedEx out here but ya the mines are the main thing. Which shop? Small world huh?

Thanks everyone else for the warm welcome! I put the matching front wheels on the other day and fixed a few things. New springs are in order and of course this thing really REALLY needs paint.

Welcome to the forum. That's a good looking Monte Carlo you've got there. I say forget about the paint. Make it fast and leave it looking like it does. It'll hurt the feelings of drivers of "nice" looking cars more when you blow their doors off!

I see a diamond in the rough...although I like the thought of leaving it alone on the exterior and getting it mechanically in tip-top shape.
