jft69z Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It's not too late to sign up and meet us all in Carlisle, Pa in a couple months either. So far, it's the largest gathering to date, with something like 80 members, and well over a hundred with family members included. Great way to meet a lot of really fantastic people, and also share the trip with your family too, if wanted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Thanks for the invite. I don’t know if we can swing that. We have a T Bucket National in Branson Missouri in May, a regional at Bowling Green in June and another regional event at Elkhart Indiana in September. Lots of running. We would sure love to see everyone and all the cars. If not this year hopefully next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks71 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Congratulations Cory to you and your father on finding that good looking Monte. You came to the right place for any information you may need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 I been on internet trying to get educated on these first generation Monte Carlo’s. Car is in good shape. I decided the tag under hood and found paint code 50. I could tell it had been painted. Just not factory color. I have figured out the super heat fuse that was missing on A/C previous owner had jumper wired compressor. I’m in process of hunting why idle Solenoid has no 12V key on at moment. It’s little things like this that drive you crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the other car in the picture that's not a t bucket, it's a completely custom 26 Ford roadster my brother's car,he's in the process of building a 27 Ford coupe now. He's a Ford guy somewhere my parents went wrong 🤣 I have Always liked the t buckets myself too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter As long as you’re working on the Monte you won’t regret that decision. Also I’ll bet long after the Monte is done and or gone you will remain a member because of the people that you have come to know and trust. It’s not all about the cars here. Great decision and glad to have you on board. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already tell this is gonna be the same way. Thanks for letting us in the family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
