Default Dragged another rusty sh!tb@x home...

I really need to learn to say no. I am far from wealthy, and my parent's patience is wearing thin with each car I drop in their yard.

Anyhow... stumbled across a 1972 Monte Carlo dirt cheap, so I bought it. I have it stashed at a friend's house for now. He lives on a little over an acre, fenced yard. Out of sight, out of mind - right?

Eventually, fix the body and paint it. My father has a brand new 454 with AFR heads and a rebuilt TH400 he isn't using. I really miss the red 72 Monte I sold back in 2013. Always wanted to put a big block in that car.

I bought this car for peanuts, so I can honestly let it sit for awhile and it isn't hurting anything.
