I got tires mounted today and tried them on the 71. They look good.

Let's see, would that be just one deviation from factory correct or would it be 4 deviations???? How about the spare? rob

Hummmm I had never considered Raised White Letters as an alteration but if Joe thinks we should.....Hummmmm. we have always allowed radials as a safety allowance. rob

Tires are not included as they are considered “ safety “. lol. 😂 Unless it counts on “ certain “ tires. Modifications only count if you bring the car, correct?

White letter tires too...makes it 8-10 modifications potentially.

I don't care mine is still in street category. One year I was parked next to Jack's car when judges came around, they spent about 10 minutes looking at his and then looked at mine and walked away after about 30 seconds, but that's ok, a little rude but ok 😅. They can disqualify me if they want, I don't really care. Like I said I'm there for the fun not awards. Mine is mostly original unrestored car with the changes I wanted to make.

Well, we now know who is Member Number 75 but not just number 75..... We now have 76 members registered with me to attend. I have just added Tom Carter #75 and his sister Eileen Powers as #76, each bringing their own Monte. Saturday 8:55PM March 23rd I just added Member Number 77, Mike Mnich from Pennsylvania, his Monte sounds very interesting, looking forward to seeing it in Carlisle UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE Ryan Palmer has now registered with me and registered with the hotel. NEW UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE - April 7, update...Member Kevin Low notified me he is coming to the Eastern Meet. He will be doing a room share with a member who already has a room.

Kevin brings our member total to 79 members!!!! Who is going to take us into the 80's in Member Count? rob

Considering basing cost of dues on the number of Alterations From Factory Correct. rob

I think 🤔 I’m hearing there will be zero factory correct monties there . ???

John, is that list in order? LOL. Man that’s a lot. Great mix of vehicles.

I'll play along. Like many others, I'm sure I'll forget a few. I'll have to make a second post with some pics.I had a list writen down at one point, but after moving, I'm not sure where it is. It's around here somewhere. It will probably be a few years before everything is unpacked again. 1968 Buick Skylark 1979 Monte Carlo 1970 Buick GS350 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix 1977 Buick LeSabre w/ Pont 455 engine 1976 Monte Carlo 1990 Ford Explorer Sport 1988 Acura Integra 1992 Saturn SL1 1988 Chevy S10 Blazer 1988 Ford Taurus 1980 Datsun pick up (project) 1986 Mercury Cougar 1984 Mercury Cougar 1987 Mercury Cougar XR7 1987 Ford F250 diesel 1994 Mercury Sable 1989 Ford Taurus SHO 1990 Ford Crown Vic Station Wagon 1998 Ford Windstar 1998 Ford Expedition 1988 Bronco II !999 Ford Mustang 35th Anniversary GT 1977 Ford F250 351/4speed 1993 Ford F350 Crew Cab diesel/5 speed 1995 Ford Escort SW 2001 Lincoln LS 2003 Ford F150 Super Crew 1997 Lincoln Continental 1997 Ford Explorer 2006 Ford Five Hundred 1972 Ford LTD convertible 2014 Ford Taurus 2014 Ford Edge Sport 1956 Pontiac Starchief 2018 Jaguar F Pace 1971 Monte Carlo 2017 Jaguar XF R-Sport 2017 Ford F250 2022 Jaguar F Type R 2020 Jaguar F Pace SVR 2023 Jaguar F Pace SVR Edition 1988 2018 Range Rover Velar 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL 1969 Buick GS400 2024 Jeep Wrangler Willys Didn't list the project cars that never got finished or were junked. (67 Fairlane, 67 Olds 442, 70 Buick GS455, 69 Buick GS400 are the first that come to my mind) Pics to follow.

Perhaps a 'No Car' surcharge should be on the table for consideration 🤔. Make it higher than the 'Number of Modifications' cost....hmmmm. I like it!

Don’t forget the 20 lug nuts. The wheels look great Aaron. I think it would’ve been really cool if GM reserved those as SS only.

Yes, I sent him an email a few days ago. I told him he is coming due fir a 10 year Anniversary Award. The plan is, on Friday around lunch time, to present everyone due Anniversary Awards their awards in the Club Canopy. It is Ryan's hope to be able to bring his Monte if it is running well enough. Ryan has already reserved one of the last two available rooms bringing us down to only one remaining room at the host hotel. rob

Thats it for now. I have some pics on Falsebook, but don't know how to bring them over here. Probably from old computers that don't work right anymore. Need to get my kids to pull the hard drives and save the pics to an external hard drive. I also had alot of pics on old phones that don't work anymore. I still saved the phones, hoping I can retrieve the pictures somehow. Again, something for the kids to do.

Seems like yesterday we were in the 90's 🤣

Yeah..... Neighbour's cat. He's a sneaky, nosey little furbag. lol

Only if they say that they have one and don’t bring it. O wait. I’m really not going now. 😝

I’m not going. Better yet, I’ll pull a Mark. No car. lol. 😂

NNNOOOOOO. I’ll go broke.

Tough to say, especially if they didn't leave a 'conversion sticker' someplace. Check the high and low gauge access points, do they have adapters put on there to accept R134A connections? That would be my first place to look. Next would be if the POA valve was replaced with a cycling switch maybe.

Holy crap, it's gonna be a costly year....

John very Nice list!!!! And pics also, i really like the A body buicks!!!!!! Excellent job!!!

Our countdown is now at 74 days and a wake-up. rob

Got it, didnt realize it was a cat 🤣

Huh, What???

Ah. Come on!!!! lol. 😆

WHAT that could never happen 🤣 we are all laser focused here 🤔

That's a very good choice Dale. I'll PM you my phone number, there's plenty more info that may help you, especially if you're doing it yourself.

I agree I like them too.

I like them!

I like it. Looks great !!

They look great Aaron. rob

Yes they do!!!! Very nice.

Congrats Aaron!! Looks fantastic. I got my copy a week or 2 ago.

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

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

Nice car. Please post a price Mike.

Week. For example, here’s one of mine. 43rd week of 2015

Steve i like it!!! I think its cool also!!!

Its pretty sweet.

One interesting thing with these style of rims is there are slight differences depending on the vintage. The middle section of the early style rims sticks out further and is flush with the trim ring. The later ones are not out as far exposing a little bit of the inside edge of the trim ring. The hole for the valve stem is also oval on the early style vs round on the later ones. I’m glad I checked mine before I blasted and painted them because one of them was the later style while the other three were the early style. Luckily a club member not too far from me had a set with the opposite problem (1 early style and 3 later style). We swapped rims and both of us now have a matching set of 4 rims. Early style Later style
