72jrfan88 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The weather was perfect today to attend a car show 2 hours away. The Monte ran great and I stopped at a British American Dealer and snapped a couple of photos. She's all cleaned up and tucked back in the garage awaiting my car show next Saturday. The car looks beautiful. Great picture setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtankjones Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Sprayed the final coat of primer on the body. Going to work on the front fenders and the rest of the pieces next weekend. Hope to ship it off to paint the end of October. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS5 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I know I felt bad as well, why did it take a full week since getting the car before I got that back on.... its out of the norm for me, it should have been on before night fall the same day.... hahaha Darren.

monte70car Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Put the wheels and tires back on the rear of the 72 and rolled the car back to make room for this finally got around to picking up the motor. Started breaking it down so it can be clean. The under side of the valve covers look good for a 30k mile motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Loked at the car on the way out through the garage in the cold pouring rain, and thought its winding down again this year, before too long it will be under cover again. Started making a winter list though, that's the only bright side! Depending on when they start spreading salt and brine here, I've been able to drive into December, or off the road before Halloween. Keep your fingers crossed gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70bowtie Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Decided today to tackle my body mount bushings, spent 3 1/2 hrs and got one side completed wasn't to bad everything came out easy. The hardest part was taking the front inner fender out and putting it back in. I reused all the original hardware as it was in great shape. Here is a pic of the bolts and they were all in this condition. I guess I will get at the other side next weekend. Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My buddy GTO George and I put on the Car Show portion of the Fall Festival here yesterday. The weather was cool and windy but no rain. We had 100 cars come out. I slept like a rock last night. LOL Here`s a couple of pics... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Had a Memorial Service to attend today and it was requested that those who owned Classic Autos to please drive them. The memorial was for a friend who lived and breathed Classic cars. The day turned out gorgeous and got the Monte out and drove to the Memorial. Met my Father and Brother there as they had driven their cars as well. I thought this event would be a good opportunity to get a pic of all 3 cars together in one place. So my brothers wife said she would get a picture of all 3 of us standing by our cars. Hey! No pic's, it didn't happen! Doug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Got in the radio for the 72 its an all digital radio that looks like a stock radio but without the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I just dropped off the frame and the core support for the SS to have them powder coated, and picked up the bumper brackets. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70bowtie Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finished up the drivers side body mounts, had no trouble with the bolts all came out easy.

monte70car Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Got a three day weekend and finally got the pulley and balancer off the motor, even gave the motor a coat of paint so it looks like it belongs in the car. Got the digital radio in the other day and it's bigger then the stock opening so had to trim yes the radio towers are broken but we found a fix.

MCfan Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Took advantage of a gorgeous Indian summer day by dusting off the Monte and taking my wife out for a photo session of fall colors before they are gone. The Monte's Autumn Gold paint seems to blend right in with the scenery whether out in the country or in town. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
