Bad Wolf racing Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Oh and yes that is a new gas tank. After sitting for over 25 years with old gas in it I decided to go ahead and just put in a brand new tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf racing Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 And as promised here come some pics. Disassembly is underway and sandblasting. As always the removal of paint revealed a lot more problems that I had hoped. Apparently at some point before I bought it in 1984 it had gotten hit in the rear and there was a lot more rust than I realized but it's still fixable and will be done right. Luckily I have it at one of the best bodymen and metal workers around in Clint Morris and Morris Body Shop and Restoration in GA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 That looks rough but fixable like you said. Good pictures and good project. I have a question. What is he using for sandblasting material if the car is basically still together, other than the removable panels? And how is he getting all the left over material out of the car? I’m asking because I am doing a 70 and something of this nature needs to be done. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which media he is using but can try to find out when I go up there in a few weeks to help get the running gear out. I'm a wrench turner and not a body man unfortunately. I think I've decided to go with a modern engine since I plan on doing some racing and want reliability instead of the big block. Talking to our engine sponsor this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leghome Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I hope the Monte / Model A does not become a requirement Rob Peters and Robert both having that set up. Good luck on the redo on the Monte 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on the redo on the Monte LOL, don't think that will be a concern. I just hope the Model A isn't hiding as many surprises when I take it down. I know there is some rust in the lower cowl and the roof wood is likely going to have to be replaced (normal) as it leaks at the rear. The engine will need line boring and modern bearings put in but hopefully that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope nobody gives me too much grief for a modern engine and the addition of SS badging on a car that was never offered as an SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Robert, you don't have to bring your Monte to attend a meet, you'll still have a good time. And since you've thrown down the gauntlet, as Dennis said you can expect the grief either with or without your Monte 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Yes Rob, Mark is correct we are equal opportunity grief givers here! With or without a/the car! LOL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf racing Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 LOL Thanks guys!!! BTW not Monte related but Lori (my wife) earned a spot in the Ultimate Street Car invitational this past weekend and I'm headed to SEMA with her to compete in her Camaro. Fewer than 100 drivers make it to that event and it is by invite only; you have to either win your way in, point in through the season, or get in with a sponsor selection. To get in by winning, you either have to win your division at a qualifier or come in right behind someone who had already won or they get the spirit of the event. She won her way in by getting the Spirit of the Event award at VIR. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would make runs, come in and within an hour or so be back out for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIR is a fantastic facility, my wife and I used to go there 7 or 8 times a year. We used to have a home in Summerfield NC, which is only about 40 minutes from Danville VA . Also when we visit our home on Smith Mountain lake , We try to make it to VIR as well ( less than an hour away ) . The motorcycle events are rather exciting too ! Also some of the Nascar teams come there to practice for Watkins Glen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
