cny first gen 71 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Thats cool we usually get a group together at the GM nats I cant make it this year but its a fun time for sure. Have you ever made it to the Syracuse nationals thats a great show. Quote
Racerhed Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Never been. I've had a slew of okay cars. 10-20 footers I guess. Never felt they should be flaunted. 69 X11 Camaro 70 Catalina 73 SS Nova (it was nice) 72 Cutlass S great story on that one.I rented a car one way. My son, cousin and I drove to southern MS. bought the car sight unseen and drove it back the first week of January back in 2006. The car used some oil, but otherwise ran flawlessly. Quote
72 LS5 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I like the build.....keep us posted! Â Mine was also originally Midnight Bronze too. Quote
Racerhed Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Chad took a few weeks off. His girlfireind's car kept breaking down and he got the CRUD. I told him to lay off and get better. Yesterday he went out to his garage and decided to knock all the lacquer off the car. Â Â Â Â Quote
Racerhed Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 I haven't been totally dormant for the past 2 months though. I found a set of good 781 heads for the big motor build. I had a contest on Facebook and let my 300+ friends decide the color of the car. I built a small block for my Caprice wagon. It spun a rod bearing at 254,000 miles. Â Quote
Racerhed Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 The small block: Â Â Â The Wagon: Â Quote
jacob Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I love the frame mods I want to do it to mine now Quote
Racerhed Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 Update: Last month the motorcycle road racing season started which means that my body guy who races and works on several other peoples bikes during the season became absorbed in bike prep in about the middle of April. The project is dormant until most probably October. The good news is that I've been busy with mechanical restoration on two customer's cars Quote

72jrfan88 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I seen your pics on the first link. Looks amazing. Great work! What color is that? Pewter silver? Quote
Racerhed Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 At the risk of members caterwauling in disgust, threatening my well being and otherwise casting insults mercilously I admit that it is PPG Envirobase and the code is PS2 which is Chrysler Bright Silver Metallic used for about 10-12 years on just about every product they built. Looks best on a GM. Don't you agree?

71MonteCarloMD Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Nice color on the Monte and cool car for your son! Quote
BigdaddyT Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 My first car was a 4 door also but not as cool as that one! Nice Monte too! Quote
Jared Richey Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Monte looks good, Silver goes well on these cars. Quote
Racerhed Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 I seen your pics on the first link. Looks amazing. Great work! What color is that? Pewter silver? Quote

Racerhed Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 It’s been a while. I did a Mustang for a friend, a Camaro for my brother in law and a 70 SS L34 Chevelle for my buddy. The Monte is out of mothballs and I’m working on the interior. Quote
