I'll pass that along Willie! If anyone is interest you can follow us on Instagram @racingbadwolf -
Sorry I didn't see this until today. We run all weekend and will probably be back next year. She would make runs, come in and within an hour or so be back out for more.

LOL Thanks guys!!! BTW not Monte related but Lori (my wife) earned a spot in the Ultimate Street Car invitational this past weekend and I'm headed to SEMA with her to compete in her Camaro. Fewer than 100 drivers make it to that event and it is by invite only; you have to either win your way in, point in through the season, or get in with a sponsor selection. To get in by winning, you either have to win your division at a qualifier or come in right behind someone who had already won or they get the spirit of the event. She won her way in by getting the Spirit of the Event award at VIR.

I'll just start the engine then I can't hear you LOL

I do want to make the Eastern Meet once it's completed. I hope nobody gives me too much grief for a modern engine and the addition of SS badging on a car that was never offered as an SS.
-
LOL, don't think that will be a concern. I just hope the Model A isn't hiding as many surprises when I take it down. I know there is some rust in the lower cowl and the roof wood is likely going to have to be replaced (normal) as it leaks at the rear. The engine will need line boring and modern bearings put in but hopefully that's about it.

No we are taking it completely off the frame and putting it on a rotisserie. Not sure which media he is using but can try to find out when I go up there in a few weeks to help get the running gear out. I'm a wrench turner and not a body man unfortunately. I think I've decided to go with a modern engine since I plan on doing some racing and want reliability instead of the big block. Talking to our engine sponsor this weekend.

And as promised here come some pics. Disassembly is underway and sandblasting. As always the removal of paint revealed a lot more problems that I had hoped. Apparently at some point before I bought it in 1984 it had gotten hit in the rear and there was a lot more rust than I realized but it's still fixable and will be done right. Luckily I have it at one of the best bodymen and metal workers around in Clint Morris and Morris Body Shop and Restoration in GA.

Oh and yes that is a new gas tank. After sitting for over 25 years with old gas in it I decided to go ahead and just put in a brand new tank.

Power window & door lock installation instructions
Bad Wolf racing replied to Malibu 400's topic in Restorers
Quick question, if I decide to change from manual to electric window / locks on my 72, would I need new door panels or do the switches go in the same location as the manual window crank? I just replaced my door panels but have been thinking that mayyyyybe I should have gone with electric... -
Seeing a second "notch" that looks different; I would have to agree bad molding. As to it being chromed remember this was the 70s when quality was not exactly the highest so that may have passed muster at the time "who's going to notice it?"

Everyone said they like pictures so here's some pics of the QA1 level 2 suspension installed.

What's not coming back? Syracuse Nationals or Ultimate Street Car?
-
Sounds good. Maybe our Montes can debut at about the same time LOL

Thanks for the lead, I am going to need one and was thinking I would have to have it custom built. I'll check ground up first.
