As a teen, Chris Jones saw a 1974 Monte Carlo hitting switches and knew he was going to get a lowrider one day. He ended up getting a 1987 Suzuki and a lowrider trike. What Chris really wanted was a 1987 Monte Carlo LS but couldn’t find one.
In 2006, his wife found this 1987 Regal a half-mile away from their home. The car had front end and fender damage but nonetheless they worked out a deal for $800. He’d always wanted to have a full show car and he was going to execute all the ideas he had envisioned on this car.
Luckily for Chris, his father’s side of the family has a long history of working on cars and they were more than willing to help out on the build. This allowed him to spend a lot of time in the garage with his father as well and learn from him.
