jft69z Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 A new addition to the pit crew arrived yesterday, 'Ruby'. The other dog isn't so amused with her right now, but she'll come around (she's upstairs in the bed). Kacey is watching out for her already though. When we first brought her into the house, she saw her reflection in the glass window of the stove, it was comical to see her reaction. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 She is very cute. You have to love a puppy. House training may be easier since you already have a house trained dog in the house that she may follow the lead on. rob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far there's been a couple incidents already, but probably because she senses the spots in the carpet from prior dogs. Even though I douse those spots with enzyme cleaners, no doubt they still know. Seems real sweet though, and fearless when it comes to stairs, etc. already. The story I heard was there was a large litter, it got cold down there in Georgia, and half the pups died, as well as the mother. The ones that made it must have figured out a way to survive and are maybe stronger? At any rate, she's a little sweetheart, so far... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 She's very cute, good luck with the training that's always fun and hope she's not a chewer. My gf dog also came from Georgia and was abandoned and she is a very aggressive chewer she's almost 3 now. My Black lab Bassett chewed for a little over 2 years (went through a few pairs of slippers she seemed to love them) but turned out to be my best buddy. Good luck with her! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 So I decided to try something different than the NK4, 4-Spoke steering wheel that's in the car now. Something about it being on Vegas, etc always made me laugh. I decided to try the optional NK1 'Comfort Grip' wheel that was offered on earlier Chevelle's, Camaros, etc. The wheel comes as a kit with everything needed. Like I did with the NK4 center cap, I decided to add the 'Monte Carlo' script instead of the Chevy emblem in the center of the horn cap. First step was to mill down that raised Chevy emblem. A little extra grinding to shape it a bit better was needed. After that, I used a Monte hat pin from ebay, and removed the year that was on the pin. A little more playing around and then I was able to mount the pin with some clear, 5-minute epoxy. Still doing other stuff on the Camaro right now, but hope to mount the wheel in the car fairly soon. So far, I'm pretty OK with how it turned out though. Horn Cap from NK4 Wheel: New Parts for NK1 Wheel: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original plan for the NK4 cap was to make a mold of the factory center emblem, and sink the Monte script in it with clear acrylic. That day hasn't happened yet..😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree though. Because the factory 'should' have offered it like that, it should count as OEM.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
