7K post from Capri in 3+ years. I am looking forward to that, i better start typing now. I have what (300) boy am i in trouble.

Thanks for the congrats. I truely wanted to park it there to be with the club members. Although i am very happy i won i had no idea, and did not expect it. Capri i did get the jacket its sharp, i will try to get pics up soon. Rob i would be more than happy to park next to Capri and Queenie anytime, even if i have to keep cleaning the drool from my car after the hundreds no thousands of people look in awe at Queenie.

Jake thanks for linking me up Jared i said the same thing Steve i was not stalking her, she suprised the heck out of me. However i did see her a few times inside the bldg that Jim was in.

I heard about it while i was leaving to go home, so i stopped 2 times to pick it up. Both places were sold out. Is there anyway we can get them to send us a few copies?

This is the best i can do, my son has to leave. He goes to fast i cant keep up.lol Here is the link: http://s646.photobucket.com/albums/uu187...mview=slideshow

Its great to have people in our club always willing to lend a hand. There was a family next to me. I dont remember his name but it was a dark blue '70. He was with his wife, and his mom and dad came up alittle later. All nice people.from upstate NY. He had a pic book in the front of the car with him and his dad in the pics doing the work. Car was in good shape i thought, just had to be tweeked alittle.

Hello everyone, just wanted to say congrats to all. I also want to say i met some really great people this weekend and had a great time. I met Rob for the first time, great guy, love the two tone paint. Jim great job on getting out of the heat by being called to duty on the inside, and also for the pics. Brian i think yours is a winner. Mike, we have to build you a garage. Dave i didnt get to talk to you much but your car is sharp. Tony (Green Means Go) thanks for info over the phone. Greg and Capri i would like to say,thanks for not sleeping for 2 days car is perfect. CK looks great even if you had to cram a week of work into a few nights. Steve i wish that make shift WD40 would have worked, car is flawless. And a bunch of other people i am sorry i forgot your names. I think from now on when i go bench racing i should be prepared to bring my own bench. I am so glad i decided to go. Now i have some other news. Some people know my Monte was not ready to be picked up yet.(Hopefully soon). Anyway because it wasnt ready i chose to bring the Grand National but they wanted to put me with the other GN's. I told them that i wanted to stay with my club. They said i might not be judged because i wasnt in the right spot. Needless to say i was judged but blew it off as no big deal i wasnt in the right spot anyway. Later that night i was stunned when this car pulls up and a young lady poses while someone takes her pic. I asked him what was going on and he said just taking a pic of a new and a older Buick. I told him he had to send me one, he said no prob. So i blew it off. Next morning i find out i won 1st place and Best Buick. So now its like James said.... YOU Mean, I WON!!, WHOO HOO!! I WON!! I didn't even think I'd place with the amount of quality cars that were there.OH,MAN I WON!! This is just too GREAT!! A 3rd place, BUT I WON!! It was a great show and I want to thank all the FGMCC members I met for the very first time.My car wasn't ready for the Ohio meet, (on stands in the garage Transmission out of it)and last minute items to fix along with it.I brought a toolbox just in case something went wrong.It was the longest ride in it yet.No problems there or on the way back,so it was a very good outing with it and I WON!! 3rd Place!Even though it was a tie I still feel GREAT about it!! Dave Schenk,How's it feel to win at Carlisle? This was the first big meet I'd ever been in with mine.ALL the Monte's were "top notch" in my book.Can you see me,jumping up, off the ground, fist in the air, and going, WHOO HOO!! YEAH!! Thanks Again, to all members, non-members, and everyone else I met at the GM Nationals!! Sorry for the extra long post everyone.

Rob you have a pm

Congrats to All Looked like a great time (sorry i couldt be there) Hats off to all that made it happen

Just go slow with the utility knife and very little preasure i must of went around it 7 or 8 times before it came loose enough to slide the blade under enough to lift it.

I tried it 2x. I used a pocket knife alittle each time working around the emblem prying it up very little at a time. I was able to get them both off but i did crack one. Didnt break it, just cracked it. After i painted them and let them dry for a few days i used a small dab of GE kicthen and bath silicone to hold the plastic cover in place. Make sure you put enough silicone in to squeeze it out the first time, you dont want to try and take the plastic off again.

I am sorry to say i never met or spoke to him, but he sure made me laugh alot. He will be truely missed. Condolences to his family and friends. God Bless

AMEN. Prayers still on there way from up here.

Thoughts and prayers for Robyn and family.

Try Google "GM rear end codes", worked for me. Good luck

I just got the rear its stamped CF0310B. What does the B mean,Where it was built? Jim you said the CF means it is a posi? I cant seam to find a second row at all, not even the letter E by itself. Doesnt it have to have that letter E to prove its a posi? Thanks for everyones help Willie

he finally found the right set of #s its a CF code Thats one of ours Right? He said its from a 71 monte. Thanks Willie

can anyone help me figure out the #s on this rear, he dozent know much about it. These are the only #s on it that we can find GM55 3959038NF 1234587880 Thanks for the help in advance. Willie

If that being the case then i am looking for a 512 block with a date of Sep, 2nd week thru Dec, 2nd week build molded on block. Am i right? Willie

Year One doesnt know when they stopprd using the 512 and started the 289. I have the book it also doesnt state when it was changed over , it just says 70 and 71 have 512 and 72 and up have 289. Maybee someone else out there has a Dec built 71ss. What is your molded block say??????? Help Willie

I have a '71SS with no engine. I think i have a chance to pick up a date coded block. My problem is the date code on my trim tag says 12B. When did they change the casting #s from 512 to 289? Did they wait till midnight the 31 of Dec. How can i find this out? Does anyone know the answer? Thanks Willie
