'66 Monaco Resto-Mod

That's freaking sweet!

Thanks man! It's been a lot of years coming. She'll be an ugly duckling for a while, while I shake out the bugs, but it'll still be a blast. Not going to lie, it's kind of an odd car to drive just because of how smooth it is for the power and suspension performance. Normally for decent suspension performance it has to be a lumberwagon, but it's like riding on a cloud. lol

It sure is weird to hear the diesel when looking at a Monaco!

It's still a big block. Just a high compression turbocharged one.

One of my neighbors has a '66 Galaxy 500, and he snapped his head pretty quick when I drove past. He looked thoroughly confused.

My mom (original owner) and dad are coming out for the weekend, and I'm going to surprise her with a ride.

I'm sure they will be quite surprised!

Haha they are? I didn’t realize that was a thing for plebes like me. I figured only important people had that ability.

Unfortunately mom didn’t make it out (health issues), but I did get to take the minions for a spin last night. They’ve already asked if we can take it out this morning.

Sounds like they're hooked on the car... Nice!

Haha thank you much! They’re definitely hooked. Crash (my little man) was all about it. He was playing with his cars the rest of the night and all day today, and anytime I stepped outside he came running after me to see if I’d take him for a ride. Looks like I need to focus on getting her fully ready for the road and licensing.
