Hello to everyone. My name is Tony, I live near Chicago, and I am happy to be here. I purchased my 74 Monaco last year from Huey in Florida and finally started working on it this past Feb. It is almost ready to be painted, still looking for a drivers fender and I have a few more small rust spots to fix. Hopefully I can get her on the road by next spring( I promised my son I would drive him to school next year). I cant believe all of the helpful information that all of you have compiled here. Any queations that have come up so far about building a blumo have been answered by reading here. I look forward to talking with all of you and hopefully meeting a few of you in the future. Keep up all of the great work and thanks again for being here!

Hey Tony! Glad to have you here with us. Did you get to meet Huey? I believe he's in Austin, TX now. I've never met him but he's a great friend to the Bluesmobile community. Would this be the Monaco you bought from him? Feel free to start your own thread in the owners section. Doesn't matter that your not completely finished yet, we love works in progress. Talk to ya later.

Ugh! I'm in the middle of patching new sheet metal onto my rusty quarter panels when my air compressor decides to stop working! I wonder how much this is going to cost...

Hey, no problem, Joe...glad to have you here! You'll find that this place is a veritable treasure trove of Monaco and Bluesmobile info, and most of the guys from the BBC site are here, anyway, because we're one big, happy family. I just thought that helping a fellow motorhead find the Valhalla of Blumos would be a good thing! Rob
