  1. Tacklrd my lame driver door lock today and found another problem after starting the car this AM. Had a rattle somewhere near the front of the motor. Isolated it to the Balancer where after checking the 3 pulley bolts that hold pulley onto balancer, two had loosened up some, so got that fixed. The door lock actuator plunger shaft was corroded so bad it just froze up. Pulled the door panel, removed, cleaned and lubricated the shaft and moves up and down freely again. There was a hole in the boot that let water seep onto boot and held it there until it seeped into hole thru boot. Repaired boot and will be more diligent with water in this area even though I believe it shouldn't happen again. Anyway, the rattle which originally thought to be inside motor as the rattle sounded internal turned out be tightening and that was a relief. Until the next burp............................ Sorry, no pics of the work but here is a couple of the car while I was getting ready to work on her. Doug

  3. You can run the rims you have now or if you want dedicated drag radials rims a 15x8 with 4.5 inch backspacing will work fine. Even if you decide you want to fill the wheelwells with a 275/60 r15.

  4. Well as someone once said, if you don't like the weather, wait an hour cause it will change. So thats what I did and only had 2 smatterings of rain, not enough to even bother rolling up the windows. Great day, over 800 cars showed up and 3 first gen monte's. One with an LS swap, one with a beefed up SBC and drivetrain and mine. Lots of cool cars, lots of cool people and the sheriffs office showed up with their helicopter and K9 unit who put on a cool show themselves. I know the trophy says January, that was the originaly planned date, canceled due to weather so yesterday was the rescheduled date. Even without the trophy it was a great day.

  5. I love this....move into a home near a race track and then complain about the noise and get your way from the politicians.......These blue states are only in it for the votes and pander to these people. Steve
