No I did not need different fenders...

Unless you are talking about the fender wells... (front) then yes, I did, becuse I have wider and bigger rims then the stock ones.

The rear fenders had plenty of room to accommodate the bigger rims and air ride set up tho. smile

I have a friend who modified his stock inners because of the air ride system. Basically he tubbed his inners so if the air ride went down while on the road he could still maneuver the car. It might take a few times of backing up and turn a little more but at least he can move it.

Interesting.. I'd like to see that!

I would like to see pics of that as well, since as of now, i can't drive if my air ride was to go out. But I also have lowering spindles in the front as well, so I lay cross member when I do let out all of the air. smile

My winter project has been ripping out and redoing the wiring in Alize... There was a lot of crappy work done in it due to so many so called electrical professionals touching it over the years. (Hack Jobs!)

So doing it up right now... Hope to have it almost done by this weekend. Since it has taken over 3 months to track down and red do it all. Got help from my man's cuz's hubby who knows wiring extra well in cars.

 

A Few Pics of the process:

Some New power Next to the Old

Some of the new power and ground we are using

Custom Loom Work we are working on, may be changed before we finish. but seems to be working well.

 

I will post more pics as we get more done. Hard to see what we have done in the pics I have already taken. Basically we are removing all unneeded wiring, and updating all we can with out tearing everything apart. also redoing all the new wire that has been put in or spliced in in the last 10y that I have had it by people who thought they knew what they where doing. By the time I am done Alize will have 3 bats. One to start the car only and run some small accessories. One to run the sound system only, and one to run the air ride only.

Took out all the heater core and box crap from under Alize's dash

All nice and open now...

Using an old 1971/1972 plate I found at a swop meet to fill in the hole to be a little different.

Took out all the seats and dash to run new wires under the carpet and threw the dash and back seat area.

 

 

10308730_10202535555723392_9209019323383

Some of the new wires going from bat #3 to bat #4 and the system.

 

Bat #1 starts the car and runs the head lights dash lights power windows and other stock accessories.

Bat #2 is hooked to bat #1 and #3 to get power and to give power to the system, and bat #3.

Bat #3 is for the air ride.

Bat #1 and #3 will have an isolater between them so when the car is not running Bat #3 and #4 will not be drawing from bat #1. So I can play my system and play with the air ride at car shows with out worry about not being able to start the car after.

But when its running the alternator will charge all 3 bats.

 

We should have her all done by this coming weekend. we have been taking a little longer to finish her to try and do some extra clean up since we have her pulled apart so far. I plan to shampoo the carpets and maybe spot die them since there are areas I found that are starting to fade from age (sun)

 

Can't wait to get her done and cruising! Been a long winter! shifter

I'm planning on going to the Eastern meet this year. Trying to find a deal on renting a crew cab truck and car trailer to rent since there is no way I am going to get 4 kids and myself and my fence and all our over night bags in Alize.

Any one know of places that rent them for a descent price. I may also see if I can barrow a truck/trailor. Bit not going to hold my breath on that.

Who is going to the meet and where do you plan to stay. I am also researching places to stay since like I said have 6 ppl to get 1 or 2 rooms for the weekend.

Getting excited. Told everyone if it means I have to miss out on all other car shows this year so I can afford to go to the meet. So be it. Have been wanting to go for years but never have got too.

Stephanie,I posted some information on the who's going to the eastern meet post that hopefully will help. Hopefully the less than most expensive hotels will encourage others to attend without breaking the bank

And I kinda lost it, since seeing all the survivors and fighters so happy with seeing my car as well as still torn up about my friend getting her brest cancer back kinda carpet up on me...

My 1971 Monte, was featured in a music video down town Indianapolis, on the circle about 2 months ago.

They just released it on YouTube last night.

Link:  

 

They had my car, myself (I look like a dork) and my kids. They asked to use it when they saw us cruising the circle. And asked us to be in the video a little. 

Something fun....
