Finally had a nice day for a drive. Put on my new FGMCC sticker and proudly displayed it , stopping at the local classic car sales “closed”, then trecking about another 20 miles to a classic car food carry out. It’s been there at same location since I was a youngster.. called “parquette” drive in. In Lexington ky. Was so nice to get out and drive the 71...

Ha!. Don’t forget to wash yer hands tho 👏..

Hi everyone, from ky. First of all, thank you for asking.. my wife and I are doing good. Even tho the virus 🦠 is all around us . Cases are tripled ever 2-3 days.. staying busy. Mowed grass already and the cleavland pear trees and frogs 🐸 making noise say it’s spring. A sign of hope , a new beginning. We will be thru this .. soon I hope. Still looking forward to seeing all you guys and those beautiful Monties in person. Keep the faith. Ron T..

Hi James , met you in Maysville ky early 2018 at a car show at the old Washington car show.. you advised me to join the club and I did... good decision!.. I didntmake it to Kodiac Tn but I’m sure registered for the big one in Pa... see you there 👋🏻. Ron T... Searsman..

This is car related in a way. Lots of cruise and shows here will be canceled.. I live 6 miles from the epicenter of the start of a virus that has practically shut down the entire state. All schools public and private are closed, universities, ect. First case reported last night in my county, Bourbon..my wife and I are concerned as we are over 60 and she has just recovered from cancer.. we are in hibernation down here.. also hoping it doesn’t affect our trip to Pa In June .. take care, hope to see you guys soon. Ron T . .

Ah Ha! Great ! Thanks for the info.. nice shot too ....

Ok , got that question answered ,thanks.. now.. another one.. the hoses to the charcoal canister have clamps on them? Mine were removed.. don’t like newer style clamps even tho my car isn’t all original... 3 hoses —-clamps, glue or just fit tightly???

Had no bumper jack in the 71, hopefully this is correct one ... 70-72 bumper jack with part number...

P.S. we never toss in direction of cars , that’s the reason for one box ..

Ok I’ll make one and bring it.. we only use one box with three holes and whoever gets the most washers in win the prize.. there has never been a tie, but could be a playoff if necessary.. the box is only about 3 feet long by 8-10 inches wide and couple inches tall.. very challenging.. best to play on grass I suppose but we play on asphalt.. usually someone stands behind box if washers get carried away...Ron...

Rob, you may have thought of this game or have enough already but, one game at car shows here a lot of people liked to play is called washer toss in this area.. basically you have 6 large 3 inch washers you try to throw in 3 holes in a short rectangular box . At about 10 to 12 feet away.. kinda difficult but sometimes just 2 in the hole can be a winner... I could make one and bring the game if you like .. Ron..

Found some more info on the correct battery in SS archives, from 2008 .. interesting .. by Capri’71 SS...

Thanks 👍🏻

Ok, this club has a wealth of knowledge about first generation MC,s... two questions I had from someone that just purchased a 71, that I don’t have the experience to answer... 1. Were first gen Montes side or top post on the batteries, or both?..? 2. Did any first gen Montes come with a radiator overflow tank? ... thanks for your answers, .. you will enlighten me as well as a friend.. Ron T...
