Canuck Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 I drove the 70 Monte to work today. It drives really nice. Engine has good power and the rebuilt trans is nice and smooth. Here is a photo on the way to work where I got stopped for construction for a few minutes. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a clone, it turned out pretty good. But I may have an emblem upside down. 🙃 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wd71MC Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Well got the MC serviced 2 weeks ago and today the weather was extremely nice so me and my wife had to go for a ride and it was was awesome. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It’s not what I did to the Monte today. It’s what I’m doing for the Monte’s. lol. In process of picking this up and relocating it to my property ( no 2x4’s involved). 16 x36. Not pretty now but we’ll see how it goes. Don’t know if I will put cars in it yet but it will be great for parts. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Got delayed today, not complaining I was with good people. Anyway, got in the garage late, put on the battery charger, got it off the jack stands, topped off the air shocks, tires, checked the oil and rad. The rad looked a little low so I'm off in the morning to get some distilled water. Works for me so I can go to the car wash and clean 2K roadtrip grime off the truck. Also bought a TPMS for the trailer and have to get that set up. Plan is to be on a cruise tomorrow, and test the line lock and lay down some smoke 🤣 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a gas tank to the head today. Pretty decent gouge. lol. So the before pic will have previous marks. I worked on it about 4 hours Saturday and got all the electrical pulled. I also marked everything so the rebuild goes smoothly. We will see what the next trip brings back here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I never liked how far the tail light housing stuck out from the factory quarter panel, so I popped the spot welds yesterday, got it wedged out, and welded it back together. Next is to finish the hood and other body work and hope to get it in paint before summer. Of course no photos, I'm terrible at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
