Xxyyzz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I participate regularly in various motorcycle/car forums and this thread is usually a fun one. It gives us a lot of ideas of what each of us does from one day to another on our bikes and cars and also gives us ideas of what to do to our own Montes... (Monties???) Please post here if you drove it to work, took the dust cover off it & washed it, took the engine out, pumped up the tires, turned on the lights & looked at it... etc etc, you get the idea. Nothing is too trivial to post here... Anything goes except NSFW items... So?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxyyzz Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Today, UPS just dropped off my new spark plugs from Summit, I just gotta size em and cut em. I also got new air cleaner (FreFlo) and KYB GR2's. I should have the Monte back from the tranny shop sometime next week. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Wagner Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I did a little of everything, took her out, filled the tires with air, bathed her, vacuumed her, took her for a long ride to "Bob's Big Boy", then tucked her into bed again. Fun day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccarkid Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I picked up the reworked ZZ4 from the machine shop today...Can't wait to finish the assembly and get it back in the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedfreak71 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Took her out and went on a poker run with the car club and did a few burnouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam84 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I gazed at her from the end of the driveway, sighed, then got in my 4 banger dd and left for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 took my '71 out for a few errands, cleaned up the interior a bit, I'll give her a bath today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo's70MCs Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Took her out for a quick spin and met with a fellow club member Steve Wagner & delightful Family. Had such a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72MC Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Since all the rain finally subsided, I took the Monte out to a car show. The trip also was the test drive after putting my new QA1 double adjustable coil overs in the front. Final analysis, the QA1s are incredible. So glad I finally pulled the trigger on that purchase. The car show was cool as well. 125 cars and great weather. I had the fortune of parking next to a restored 67' BBC Chevelle SS(one of my all time favorite cars). I had seen the car before and she is gorgeous. 396, 4 speed, red interior, black(mirror like paint), red line tires, and the list goes on. As icing on the cake, I pulled a top ten. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Unfortunately I did nothing with my Monte on Saturday, although I did glance over at it as I backed my truck out of the garage...I couldn't really see it as it is under a cover. I did go to a Monte Mini Meet in honor of it later that day but was too lazy to get it ready to bring it along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Shoved some boxes under it today in the garage With the not so good weather we have had it hasnt been out much this year, maybe today Ill get it out for a ride, its supposed to be a decent day today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Got back from Capri's and finished buff and wax. Wanted to go to the track today but weather is not cooperating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottNM Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I may have been one of the busiest on my MC. Disassembled the upper and lower arms, removed bushing and ball joints. Because I have a MC that had a 350 originally and I am putting a 454, I have to figure out if my coils are the right ones for a 454. It has a 396 in it now but not sure if the coils were upgraded.

Canuck Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well, I walked around both of them several times as I was painting the exterior trim of the garage. Today, I'm going to drop the 70 off with my mechanic to get some front end work done (bushings, rotors, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Drove it to Seneca for a Cruise IN after a quick detail. And no more off brand 93 octane in my factory production 1970 high compression 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtankjones Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Finished up the exhaust work. Changed the oil and oil filter. Pulled her out of the garage and parked it in the front yard for a bit to clean out the garage. Took it for a ride round the block then put it back in the garage.

dbreese Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looked at it setting in the garage and thinking to myself how close I am to having it back on the road. Yesterday I got the other inner fender well installed on the drivers side. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemedic Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I missed my weekly Sunday ride to Captree / OBI to meet "the boys for coffee" this morning due to my daughter's Lacrosse game. I did meet up with Steve Levanti later and we went to local annual "car show" and had a good time. I installed my new FGMCC Radiator Cover earlier this week, and it was a big hit at the show.
