Looks great!!!!
That's the number one question I get about my car...They all point and ask "what's this"? The best are those who think they know what it is...explain that to whomever their with and get it totally wrong....lol
Steve
It's a secret compartment for the cheater system hahaha...shhhh...Don't tell Al

Replaced my grill badge/emblem with one from OPG. I was also thinking of painting the knights on my parking lights. Has anyone done this before?
You are not the first to think about it....If I was just a bit...ok alot.. more talented mine would be done already
-
Looking good Steve....keep practicing so you can do mine
-
And I thought this was just plain cool..it was a lil rough around the edges, but cool
The owner says only 500 were made, 1960 Biscayne

Made it to the first cruise night of the season...along with Steve, Dom, Greg and C.K

You would be amazed how many times Dan can change his mind hahaha

Turtle Wax Black Box.Love it!!!!! Definatley added "depth" to the paint....and my paint is real thin and beat up. It's basically like waxing twice, once with the cleaner, then the actual wax. Then you go over it with the spay detailer (the easy part lol) Go to your local "big box store" and pick up the bulk pack of micro fiber towels...I went through 8 of them. Yes, it sounds like alot, but overall took about 2.5 hrs and was worth every minute. No streaks, no "uneven" coloring. Yes, it is specifically for black cars, it has a black pigment in it (wear gloves and don't spill it on your jeans..ask me how I know lol) No worries about getting it on the chrome, it wipes right off. -
While I can see the point of going with a cheapo filter...I'm thinking you would want to run a top of the line filter during break-in. In theory, that is when most of the debris would be created as the parts "wear in" to each other..... or i could just be out of my mind lol

I capped off the return on mine and haven't had a problem
-
ummm...I believe they go above the crossmember that the rear springs would mount to... sorry...I dont have a diagram..hopefully you get the idea
-
:-yay-: just leave out the dashes
-
I own 2 of them, one at home and one at work.... I won't even think of looking into anything without it. Just be sure you know what you are powering or grounding, real easy to spike an ecm juicing the wrong circuit. On our older Montes...not so much to worry about, it has a built in breaker so you won't blow up the tool either lol.
-
Any chance you can take a sound clip while you are cranking it? Does it sound like a shrieking noise? Need some more info.
-
The drag radials are probably frozen anyway....you still wouldn't hook hahaha
-
You do own a jacket and gloves right? get to work!!!
-
I thought about how cold it must be even with the cover on it lol
-
yes, it will steer... but good luck...it will be a bear to turn, manual boxes are geared differently then power boxes....just hope its not a tight turn onto the return road lol
-
-
Took some of them for a mid winter walk. LOL
That is cool...not a hint of snow on the montes while they are surrounded by it...great pics
-
ordered a nice car cover, some oil and rear additives..and some tools...love me some Jegs gift certificates lol
-
And is it possible it's more of a vapor lock condition? Is the fuel tank venting properly? I won't condone this test, as it is a definate possibility that fuel will spurt out, but loosening the fuel cap when you are having this problem may help. You will either hear air being sucked into the tank, or if there is excess pressure, it may blow some fuel out at you.

I gave her a pat on the fender as I walked by on my way to grab tools for other projects

There was one running around here with the same setup. Also there is a 72 Camino on a 4x4 chassis that looked like it belonged up there!
I reckon i like dat on right der...in my best redneck voice lmao.... that is a nice looking truck...umm...car...ummm...truck... there is a late 80's cougar around here...it just ain't right though lol

I'm well aware I won't be much help here.... but I love the idea. Kinda think it's a world of tape measures.... get out and see what fits with the wheelbase.... I know the mid 80's k5 frame is popular for swaps....for an Elky....maybe a suburban frame???... love the idea...wish I could be more help
Electrical or Mecahnical Temperature Gauge

I've got mine in the intake...and you've seen where it's mounted...works like a charm. The temp is electric and the oil is mechanical...
and...why not got with the a-pillar pod? not that obvious from outside the car, but right in front of you.....just a thought
