RDLBOX1970

Well, two things I did last few days. 1] I checked for the first time since we bought the Monte the engine casting and code identification numbers. I was worried that in the 43 years someone may have replaced the engine. To my delight I found that the engine is the original from the factory. It even has the vin stamped on the deck behind the alternator! The stamp on the front of the eng was decoded to this: CRE 1970 350 tur 350 300 4 A F X and has the vin stamp matching my vin. The back casting number reads; 1970-73 970014 350cid 200low 300high 2/4 bolt main LA built for Camaro Build date J=Sept, 16 day 9=1969 2] I replaced the upper control arms. Very easy I might add. Yes, I did clean the engine areas that I had to scrape to find those casting numbers and touched up the paint.

I'm jumping in with the GREEN! Green cars always are more fun! Hey peeps! Haven't been on for a minute! Lot's gong on.

Thank you all. I cant believe all the work thats been done. My great friend Jeff really did a awesome job with the final prep and paint. Can't wait to go to some shows.

Finished!!! We took her out on a evening cruise last night. What a great ride.

I drove the Monte home last night!! It drove like a dream. No rattles or sqeaks. I still have not seen it in full sunlight. Can't wait to get home after work to see the true colors come out. Tomorrow is the clean-up of interior and finish installing the chrome. I will have more pictures after I clean her up.
