unfortunately I need to new wheel bearings in my puddle jumper (S10) before the let go so the monte engine will have to wait cry

I havent got the foggiest idea how to host pictures / post pictures whatever the heck you have to do to put them here!

 

Guess I will just have to keep you guys in suspense. Maybe I can get Steve to post a few of progress ..... HE has the technology ... I sure don't.

Thats about as far as it goes, Monte hasnt seen snow since I found it buried in the snow in 2005, another winter going by where I have done nothing at all to it, didnt even disconnect the battery this year. It did start fine, first Ive uncovered it for anything other than storing xmas presents since November.

Sam, that engine looks mighty purty. Someday That's what I want my engine to look like.

 

Replaced my horn (stopped working) and ordered my vinyl top (medium green) from SMS Auto Fabrics. Only place that I found that carried that color.

Ordered a new AC condeser, since I recently discoverd a hole in mine frown. Just when you think you have everything under control that snowball doubles back and hits you again. At least my snowball is getting smaller though, I think confused

 

If anyone needs one, this is about the best deal going or at least the best deal I found.

That is a good deal. My condenser alone cost me more than that but I needed quickly to get the car to the Eastern Meet last Aug. The A/C was finished on Weds. and Thurs Morning Glendia and I hit the road to GA.

Installed a set of boxed upper and lower rear control arms, sway bar, and 4 bilstein shocks. What an incredible difference in the ride and handling!

Tony, that sure brings back memories! Funny what kids remember ... my daughters (ages 38 and 40 now) still talk about the time(s) I took them to an empty Community College parking lot and cut donuts in the deep snow in our first 1970 Monte Carlo.

 

They were only 2 and 4 then but they loved it. Just move forward slowly, put it in reverse and give it some gas ... positraction does the rest. grin
