Rob Peters Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Joe, that looks great. It doesn't look like there was any pitting in the frame. That is a great start and everything you add will be a show of progress. This is an exciting time in a rebuild to see everything so clean and new. Don''t guess we will see it at Carlisle but look forward to seeing the progress pictures. rob Quote
orbit Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Rob I will be at Carsile. But sadly not the Monte. I am gonna do my best to have it ready for the season after. I ordered my 5 Firestone Wide Oval Radials and picking them up at Spring Carsile. Moving full speed ahead on this resto. More pictures to come. Quote
overdrive Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Frame looks great! Mine was at that stage not long ago. If you're like me, you'll need to rob a bank. Dan Quote
orbit Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Oh I'm sure I'm gonna bleed. But in the end it will be some car 1 Quote

Canuck Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Rob I will be at Carsile. But sadly not the Monte. You won't be alone. I'll be there without a Monte too. Quote

orbit Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 I got impatient so I started hanging the Gardner Exhaust Quote
Rob Peters Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks for keeping us updated. You have no idea how exciting it is for us to follow your progress. rob Quote
orbit Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Can't wait to get motor and transmission done and fire it. Hopefully the end of April for a running chassis Quote
orbit Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Sorry about the pictures being turned. I don't know how to fix them. They are right side up on my phone Quote
orbit Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 Started running the plumbing today. I never like the way the reproduction clips don't match the originals so I cleaned up the originals and resprayed them the factory colors that they were and installed new bolts. Quote
orbit Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 I have no idea why the pictures are posting on their side. That's not how they are in my gallery. Sorry guys. Maybe someone can tell me why. Thanks Joe Quote
Rob Peters Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Who cares if brakeline pictures are sideways, what we care about is the fact there are pictures posted!!! Great progress. rob 1 Quote
