Hello, I have a 68 Monaco 500 convertible that I am just starting to work on now. I hope to have a decent running vehicle as a daily driver.

Location: Orton, On

Welcome! Is she a 318 or 383? My 68 Monaco was a Canadian car with a 318.. I built a 440 for it but kinda missed the 318 afterwards... damned motor never missed a beat!

It is a Canadian car with the 318. I bought it knowing that there was some work to be done. the motor runs like a dream, small coolant leak at the front of the intake and a tune up is required. Wiring is a mess under the hood and the dash. The guy I bought it from his son decided to look for a battery drain and took the whole dash apart. Rear frame rails are completely gone as well as the trunk. I knew this when I bought it so no surprise there. I am used to mechanical repairs of all sorts, but body work and changing out the rear frame is new to me and maybe a little intimidating. Looking forward to having some advice as I go. Will try to post some pics a little later.

I'd be a bit freaked out about that myself!
Can't wait to see her!
