Thank you for sharing Willi, that’s what this FGMCC family is all about, we are here for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.. being a bus driver and a friend of yours, this touches my ❤️

I still prefer the raised white letters on a Monte muscle car. Or gentleman’s muscle car as has been said. It was a big thing where I grew up to see a hi power 60s or early 70s muscle car with crager chrome wheels and raised white lettering tires , and a deep rumble coming from the exhaust, at the drive in on a Saturday night .. very popular back then and very fitting to the era now .. Ron…

Yal, not only did I purchase the level compressor brackets from Dan, I also got the slap shifter assembly from him about a year ago. It’s really sweet !. Ron…

Strange , my insurance co says it’s no longer necessary to get that test at my age. Of course they would say that. Thanks for reminding me, I get my doc to do the blood test anyway. Glad you found it soon enough.. Ron…

The 71 was missing the load leveler compressor brackets when I got the car, but thanks to DPJ fabrication in Missouri I now have and have installed the correct compressor brackets.. DPJ fabricator is owned by one of our FGMCCs members “ Dan Janes “.. Aka, “ overdrive”.. on the club site… Thanks Dan for your commitment to the FGMCC and first gen Monte Carlo’s .. Ron…

Been with State Farm since the 70s. Yes , rates have increased about 25 % over the last two years. Have 7 policies with them including house and blgds. I complained but to no avail. There answer was two fold” 1. Well, sorry, but the price of parts has increased much more than that “. 2. Well, sorry. That’s what boys with toys should expect to pay “. Ha!. Appraisals have increased last two years also, which increases taxes as well.. worked hard to get this house and “toys”.. as they say. Evidently I’m being penalized for having , “things”… just saying. Ron

Craftsman by Sears, er no 🤔, by K mart , er no 🤔, Lowe’s ? Er who knows, ????

Knew that was out there somewhere, their ya go Dennis, a song just for you ! 🎶

Already did :). 😄

They could make a song out of that ,” I get knocked down, but I get up again “.. 🎶. Ps. Thanks for the info on the wrenches, Ron…

I kinda like the look, although it wasn’t original equipment..

I Better do this now or it will be fix it day in the spring!!!. Winterize camper ..At least my feet are back on the ground.

Thanks, I’ve never been afraid of heights , I’m just afraid of coming down too quickly and stopping even quicker. 😁. It’s difficult to get a roofer w/o waiting weeks around here.. no family close... but the rest will and can wait .. besides that, I promised Rob,, no more ladders after I had back surgery...

I’m just mule headed- I did a lot of planning on taking the route up to the peak and back down - it did include foam... it rained here yesterday morning before I patched it.. there was a split in the tar paper underneath also .. it ended up raining all day here today and even more tonight.. the wind also lifted the drip railing above the trim on that side, but like you said , that part will wait till someone about 40 years younger than me to do that,and the whole roof...

Darker grey or charcoal.. I like the raised white letters also

Still needing a new roof, on the house, a job for next summer probably but this repair had to be done now. Was washing the vinyl siding and noticed the wind had blow loose an end cap on the peak of the roof. Completely gone. Would leak water into soffit !. 💦. Rained this morning but quit and roof dried so I ‘ like the stubborn person I am” decides I’ll be the one who has to fix it if it’s gonna be done. it’s a very steep incline and with the grace of God I made it up to the top and back down.. at least it won’t leak until I can get a new roof. Beautiful view :)…

No Willi, it’s more like this dwn hair. “ Witt in the heck fire is uinz a takin bout? Huh?

Put the 71 up on the lift to clean underneath from a rainy car show trip. Removed the rear stainless behind the rear wheels. Did some touch up painting in exposed area. Didn’t look bad behind stainless after all these years, no rust!.

Sold an 04 convertible mustang about 10 years ago. Worked out good except the dealer kept coming back wanting me to lower the price .

Suprised you got it, they were going to fix it up someday. 😃Congratulations, nice find !

Sorry to hear that mark, luckily there’s two about an hour each away from me. And a huge one at beach bend in bowling green western Ky. Maybe a new one will open up there.

Great!!

Be real nice to meet you in person Arron, just pay no mind to the accent !😀

Fantastic!!!.
