It’s ‘Booger’ green and ‘Shadow Dark Silver’. And I see what ya did there with those pesky quotation marks. 🤔🙄

Aaawwwwweeeee!!!!!

I isn’t da smartest Pierson, but I’m kinda gud at righting from thyme to thyme. I’ll patiently await your apologies, gents…

I’m just gonna cut to the chase and say it’s Dennis’s fault.

Welcome! And great story… I’ll bet your son is on Cloud 9 that he gets to be part of such a cool project on an even cooler car. Like many have already said, you’ll find an abundance of knowledge and resources here, not to mention some good laughs on occasion. Off topic… I’ve gotten pretty good at getting around Davenport as the kiddo just started year 3 at St. Ambrose… GO BEES!!!

Welcome!!!

Yes. A perfect gentleman who used raw facts framed in intellectual thought to make his case. Never combative. Never argumentative. Never belittling. Never sank to the ignorant level that most of his critics routinely occupied. One of the Rights greatest influencers senselessly taken in his prime.

Another “trans” has now been assigned primary focus of the investigation. Shocking….

1). Put front seats all the way forward 2). Straddle the driveshaft hump on your knees and lean into the seat with your thighs 3). Use both hands simultaneously to push the seat down and in near the corners as you’re using your thighs to drive the seat in

Chop up that fugly steering wheel and use it for kindling.

No oil on the dipstick this morning!!! Holy cow. I'm awful. Just stupid! Some guys will do anything to justify rebuilding a motor with more HP 😂. If it makes you feel better I’ve driven box Chevys with 350s at work that were down 4+ quarts (for God knows how long) when I checked levels while gassing up. Coworkers almost never took car of cars that were driven by three different shifts. Those motors still lasted for years after that. No visible smoke. No audible knocking. I’d never advocate trying to emulate such a stunt and agree with what we’re all aware of as “car guys”… regular checks of fluids, normal wear & tear items and preventative maintenance is where the smart money is.

Nice job dude. They obviously put it away almost completely correctly. Did you already put new hoses and belts on also? Those heater hoses look brand new. And what’s left from here? All fluids, brakes etc? Car looks to be in fantastic shape. You should do the ol’ switcheroo and send back one of your parts cars and tell them “this is how she turned out after I power washed it” 🤣😂

Great story & welcome! I’m sure your Dad would be proud with how you’re maintaining his Monte. Lotta good people and information to be found here.

Is it time for me to add a 2nd Shadow Gray ‘70 SS to the stable 🤔🤔??? Definitely a well optioned, great looking Monte.

Welcome! Hopefully you faired better than Dennis and your Monte isn’t “El Clone-o”. It’s good natured kidding around here. Your car looks great!
