Our countdown hits 75 days and a wake-up. rob

Ron, I always wanted one like that. Way to go Fire Chief!

What is our countdown at today? It is the same as an old gas station sign.. that's right, 76 days and a wake-up. DAYS rob

Seems like yesterday we were in the 90's 🤣

Thought it would be funny...... A canine security system that doesn't detect feline mechanics.

If anyone wants to purchase one and bring it to Carlisle we can add it to the fender and patch panels. We could do a comparison course

They have been at different vendors for awhile now. Most of the time on backorder. There are several posts talking about them. I’ve read that they need some massaging to fit right.

Leo is the man!! Always great to chat with about all 1st gen Monte's. Mine are still in and going on 17 yrs.

I believe I had my 1st accident in a similar model 🤣

Don’t give her a date of arrival, they may be on backorder. Yea I’m derailing the song.

No way I I’m not frying my brain to remember all those cars - truck.s maybe someday I’ll sit down and write them . I will show you a picture of what my first car looked like back in the 50s … I was only 8 years old 😂🤣…

It is coming together slowly but surely. All of the holes for the temp gauges and headers are a different size so many trips to the hardware store is slowing me as i get frustrated and then discouraged so keep taking breaks lol.

The last time I took this car to the track was well over 10 years ago. Time flies and life happens... Back then it had a 454 bottom end, and nipped the 11s. In 2014, we bought a Shafiroff 540 bottom end, swapped on the ancient oval port heads, cam, etc. and have just been driving it. It felt fast and is a blast to drive, but getting to the track just didn't happen. I made the drive to Cecil last night and got a decent pass in. (Damn cars are fast now! Everyone running 9s like nothing.) It ran 11.22 @ 117.6. I guessed 11.3 and got close, but I thought it would be from a top end charge. Considering it has 3.31s , 2400 converter, stock rear suspension, and is, well, you know- heavy , I was shocked to see that 60'! (It is also extremely quiet- I had to look at the tach while next to some open-exhaust cars just to make sure the engine is running!) The car actually rolled over in 3rd- the stock fuel system isn't up to the job I guess. No, I'm not ready for FAST (those guys are amazing), but I love my big orange bullet and the hupcaps! There is more to that air cleaner than meets the eye, but I ran with that on too.

You'll see a trend here, couldn't find a pic of my Montego MX. 🤣 Some may notice the 75 and 72 have the same wheels and tires. I had just finished upgrading the 75 when FL started emissions testing, couldn't get the 75 to run and pass emissions so took the whole drive train and dropped it in the 72, 72 was exempt from testing. The 67 pic is taken in front of the lot of my first house, the others are the built house.
