RDLBOX1970 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 It's been over two weeks. I would love to see the Monte but I want to wait. I have been polishing all the chrome and cleaning parts I have for it. It's exciting to imagine them back on the Ol' car. I polished all the lenses and cleaned up the wiring. Painted the brackets and now setting out for re-install. All the glass is cleaned and ready. I bought new weatherstripping and chrome armrest backing plates. I will have pictures posted tonight.

RDLBOX1970 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Got to spend time on the Monty. Im very excited to say its coming along great. We took the extensions off and they look good. Primer is next. My painter is almost as excited as I am. Bet he cant wait to start wet sanding all that surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDLBOX1970 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Here's more pics on progress. We took the extentions off and cleaned up the panels behind the rear quarters. All nice solid metal. Cleaned up the cracked seam seals for reseal. Â I am so glad this car isnt rotted like I have seen many of through their restoration. I got lucky on this one. Â The front I cleaned up the core support and all supporting brackets. Again all in great shape. We will cut it all in after it's primered this week.

Monteman1971 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Very nice!!! For some reason I had to see the pictures through my phone...the computer here at work just gave me white boxes with a red "X".... I'm guessing "the man" doesn't want me looking....lol  Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDLBOX1970 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I drove the Monte home last night!! It drove like a dream. No rattles or sqeaks. I still have not seen it in full sunlight. Can't wait to get home after work to see the true colors come out. Tomorrow is the clean-up of interior and finish installing the chrome. I will have more pictures after I clean her up.
