bigtankjones Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I ordered some trim clips for some of my lower front fender trim. Order the clips from Clips and Fasteners. Also ordered some LED 194 bulb kit off of ebay for the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Lovin the pictures Tony, keep up the good work. Have you started a countdown schedule of projects to complete by the cruise season and Eastern Meet. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Started taking the air shocks off of the 72 today to put in the Air Lift 1000 system and the upper bolts have nuts on them instead of the clips I normally see. I cannot get my fat arm in there to hold the end wrench so next weekend my son in-law is going to come up and help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bell Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've been soaking my lifters in oil for a few weeks, got them back in today. Cleaned up the gasket surfaces and got the intake in place. I yanked out all the old Holley Pro-Jection stuff, what a ton of junk! I'm looking forward to the oh-so-simple FiTech self contained fuel injection unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtankjones Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Looks good Tony, noticed your fender chrome is higher then the door like mine.

Wheel Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Wheel, I bet they just love to here those side pipes when you start her up to go somewhere! Looking good from here! Must be glad it's "back on the road again" ( song from REO speed wagon). That was a name of a car too!! The wife just enlightened me!! That's what I like about her. I can't wait to get mine out soon. Going to be putting on some exhaust cut-outs on it this year. OH Yeah!! Well let me tell you they are straight open from headers to tips. Hehehe.... I have to idle it out of my neighborhood not to mess with the people around me to much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well, My Monte is getting kicked out of it's winter resting place this weekend. Friend at work is going to have some construction at his house and we won't be able to get them out until it is finished. Plus he needs the room for their tools also. 4 cars are parked in there. Mine is the last one out so I have to wait for the others to clear out .Going over today and put the battery in and get things ready to start. I still have the frame for my '65 Chevelle in my garage and have to get that moved out so the monte can rest in the garage oil it gets a little nicer here. The weather I believe is going to break here for good next week. still showing cold temps and snow in the forecast so they will be putting down salt still.
