Montemedic Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Started it today and let it run for awhile. Last time I drove it was just before Thanksgiving. It was like Groundhog Day. Warm but no shadow, so hopefully we'll be back on the road soon. We have to wait until they clean up all the sand from the roads first. My street looks like a beach. Come on Spring !!!

FRANKIE T. Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 After Super Storm Sandy she got water up to rugs so they came out along with the insulation.Changed starter and wires.She wont start unless i give her a good boost. New battery did'nt help nor did a new horn relay. Will have to trace everything down as soon as warm weather comes. Garage too small to work in.

Chevyss Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Got the new Monte off the carrier today. Got is washed and now getting into checking it all out. Seems to be a really sound car. 103,000 miles. Drivetrain was rebuilt at 92,000. Outside of a noisy speedo it seems to run out really good. I'm ready for the Western Meet. Does need a new steering wheel. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTimer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sweet plate! I tested the motors on all the window regulators I bought from Vince. Looking to install today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmonte70 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Tried to find the build sheet from an SS I recently bought (Van Nuys SS). Looked under the seats both front/back, console, under the dash pad, under the carpet, took door panels off, took off the plastic backs of the bucket seats and found nothing..BOOOOOO!!! Going to look in headliner when we switch that out at the upholstery shop and will drop the gas tank next week. Still have hope, but not looking good.

MCfan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Bummer, Troy! But there's still hope ... some of the better ones are found above the gas tank. Also, some have been found between the seat upholstery and the seat padding, so you may score yet. Keep the faith! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmonte70 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I hate to take the seat upholstery apart as the interior is so nice and I have no background in taking seat covers off and reupholstering them. I'm banking on the gas tank, fingers crossed. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I got the engine bay box mounted with out the fan and found out my upper bolt hold in the firewall is to big for the bolt . Waiting on the gloss black paint to dry on the inside box on the side you can see. I made a bracket to hold the heater core in place slowly getting closer.
