  1. Thanks for the reply MC, thats actually exactly the info I was looking for. Now do skins do well for wheel well rott? That's mostly what im dealing with in my quarters, just rotten under the wheel well lip on both sides with a rust hole or two. Cheers

  2. Hey guys I know ive been very innactive the past few months, lifes been rough n busy recently but anyways I just found a pair of quarter skins for 200 each locally but unfortunately theyre thinner steel than original, was just wondering if any of you guys have successfully repaired your quarters using these skins? Or if im better off holding out for AMD. CHEERS AND GET THOSE MONTES OUT ON THE ROAD ITS SUMMERTIME

  3. Curious to know if anyone out there has modified the gas tank so that the entrance to where you fillup is on top or side of the quarter panel like they did to the first gen montes when used for nascar in order to fill faster. Would be a cool mod and im too tall to be leaning down to fillup gas behind the plate it stinks too haha . used to it ofcourse but wouldnt mind looking into it as both my quarters already need replacing. Cheers.

  4. Ended up getting my quadrajet rebuilt locally, popped it on along with my new intake and Hei distributor upgrade. Now its almost running steady again but at low acceleration it stutters and bogs making the car jump and stutter untill It shifts. Sometimes even backfiring at low speeds off the line. Once out of the exhaust and now out of the carb today. My question is, is my timing off or is it the carb that needs adjusting? And if so what adjustments exactly qjets are new to me. Cheers

  5. Old stock floor insulation is falling off and chipping away, read a few forums suggesting refectix and dynamat etc, but is that all you put down before you lay the carpet? Or should I put some sort of sealant down first? Cheers

  6. alright cool thanks for the replies, think ill try dripping or spraying tiny bits of water in the carb to see if i can clear some out carbon out since ive heard of that method for eons. would you recommend I use warm or hot water so it evaporates faster? and as for the freeway throat clearing I tend to do alot of that so im sure its coughed up all it could in that aspect. cheers

  7. Hey there just wondering if anyone knew any good carbon deposit removal products, dont really trust seafoam etc and I dont wanna open it up and scrape it by hand either. I remember my dad telling me about an old ford motomaster spray or something that worked amazing but it seems long discontinued. Any suggestions? Cheers

  8. thanks for responses guys, Robert with the brown monte did you buy the speedway cheaper tubular arms? how were they quality wise? I was scared they looked alot like ebay no name ones. Im now thinking about going with viking coilovers on the front with viking double adjustable shocks on the back because I cant afford the rear coilovers really at the moment. how big of a loss would i be taking with just shocks in the back instead of coilovers? I believe getting them in the front first is more important and i found this kit on ebay 

     http://www.ebay.com/itm/Viking-Front-Adjustable-Coilover-Spring-Rear-Shock-Kit-GM-A-B-Body-450-/272430252784?hash=item3f6e1bc2f0:g:ZhwAAOSw5cNYE8zc&vxp=mtr 

    was also thinking of getting the speedway front tubular control arm set unless its more worth just waiting till I can afford a more expensive beefy one from Qa1 or UMI?  Having quite some trouble deciding here haha any opinions would be appreciated, cheers.

  9. Hey Guys first post here was just looking for some advice before I go ahead ordering parts for my mostly stock 72 Monte. After some research Ive been thinking about going with viking coilovers in the rear while using the hotchkis 2" lowering springs I already got for the front with some bilstein shocks to save some cash.

     

    Second I was looking to upgrade the front control arms to hopefully fix the infamous geometric issues in the front end of our A bodies and was wondering what the most cost efficient options were as the qa1 and other brands tubulars are quite out of my budget it seems. Any input would be greatly appreciated and srry for the lenghtly post. Cheers.
