A lot has gone on in the last 2 years but unfortunately no with the Monza.
However in the last few months I was able to snag a few rough cars before scrappers.

The 1980 Spyder is a V6/4spd, non-a/c car. Was a one owner that was parked probably 20 yrs ago in wet area and trees grew up around it. People who bought house wanted it gone after they cut it out of the woods and hit about everything with the chainsaw. Front spoiler, rear bumper, trim rings on wheels.
To make it worse the windows were left down for years. The roof is rotted out even on this.
The 1979 Firenza was from a estate sale, original owner again but still not stored great. It is a 305/auto, A/C, has tach and 8-track radio (have to check if AM or AM/FM) but doesn't have tilt column. Body rotted out on this as well but spoiler and wheel flares look to be good. Even the header panel and grills seem to be damage free. Not one good trim ring or center cap on this one though.
Not sure what is going to happen with them yet. The Spyder is donating it's sway bars to my T/C. Might try and get the front spoiler to fit the T/C as well....if it can be saved since its very spongy.
The Olds......don't think that body tube will be savable either.
I do have a lead on a pretty solid 77-79 monza HB body if I was to do a full on restoration. But in the meantime I think the 305/auto may take up residency in the Town Coupe. At first glance there appears to be enough of the olds specific parts in useable condition to clone it. The spyder.....not worth it.
Then I started to think about making a clone Firenza Coupe that never existed......
