Finally a decent day. took Monte out for her first run of the year, got her some fresh gas and had myself my own little cruise. Looking forward to have others join me.

More pictures

Ditto on what Willie said. Blue is still sleeping. Green got moved around a couple times. At the rate I’m going Blue will get uncovered until right before I load it up for Carlisle.

More paint pictures. A few more pieces were painted last week. They also spent some time refurbishing a spare hood for my 69 Buick GS400

The ‘71 came out of hibernation Friday. The ‘70 was extracted from her cocoon today. Both gave me no issues starting and felt great on the 10 - 12 mile initial ride. The AC compressor on the ‘71 gave up the ghost (the pretty green dye in the refrigerant matches the Lime Green Poly perfectly 😂), but whatya gonna do? New compressor already ordered and hopefully delivered and installed in time for Carlisle. PS - the day I figure out how to get pictures loaded in sequence is the day Dennis’ feet don’t appear in his pictures

Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of our cars.

All your cars are looking GREAT guys!!!!!!

I heard nothing down here. So sad this f#$% up world today. Thoughts and Prayers to both Police Officers, their families and friends. The thug like Mark says BIH!!!!!!

Spent the weekend getting her ready for spring.... IF that every comes. lol Changed oil & filter, lubed the front end, re jetted the carb, chased that "mystery wire" down, pulled the rear seat.... and "no", there's no paperwork tucked in there. Put the re conditioned dash and battery back in, added a squirt of gas down the carb...... And "BINGO"!!! She fired right up. Now, just need to get the new tires on and wait out the snow the weather woman says is coming tonight.

Very sad indeed. Praying for family's involved!!!!

Unfortunately its on ongoing trend 😡 I'll stop before I go off on a rant 😠 Saved the tax payers $$$$$ on a trial and possibly just a slap on the wrist 😡 My thoughts and prayers go out to the families ( the officers) BIH thug

Replaced the plugs again today and I also replaced the plug wires. I then took her for a test drive. Sure felt great to get a ride in. rob

2 police officers in our local area were shot and killed last evening. One was a Syracuse police officer and the other was an Onondaga County deputy sheriff. The names have not been released yet but the suspect was also shot and killed. I have friends and relatives in both departments as far as I know so far it wasn't anyone I do know. Our hearts go out to the families of the two fallen officers.

Ok I’m on it. I know I have a radio support bracket. I’ll check tomorrow on the rest.

If we are talking about the same thing, it's the switch that will turn on the parking brake "warning light" on the dash. I forgot to plug it back in one time and I drove the car 5 + miles with the parking brakes ON!! My Monte Carlo, is a 1971. I don't know if that matters. Not sure but the return spring (that releases the tension on the rear brakes) is part of the parking brake cables (I THINK) The {GROUND} screw I have an arrow pointing to, is the ground wire attachment point for the dashboard harness.

The one guy was a lieutenant deputy with sheriffs department he has worked on SWAT and the bomb squad and warrents. Also an EMT for the local ambulance service and a 16 year veteran of the local fire department that serves my area. The other was a police officer for only 2 1/2 years with Syracuse pd. The lieutenant has left behind a wife and 3 young children. Very sad.
