Come On Tony..... She needs to stretch her legs.... Get her out for nice drive, you won't regret it. rob 2 Quote
bigtankjones Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I know Rob. I'll get her out next week after the camper is out of the driveway. Got to Renes firebird out to. Quote
Paul Bell Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 So I went to Bellmore train station. I FINALLY met Al Maddaluno and his awesome '70. There was also a '71 car for sale, black and a red one undergoing body work, I didn't notice the year. I also met this jerk who insisted he had to squeeze into the tight spot next to me with his "hotrod" Hyundai . 2 Quote
714024SPEED Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Got our 72 aka "skirts" out of winter storage and took off the hub caps and put on red lines with rally rims. 1 Quote
MCfan Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Sold my '70 SS to another club member today. Sad to see her go but it was inevitable. Loved owning, driving and working on her for the past eight years but since I had averaged less than 200 miles a year driving her, it was time to let someone else enjoy her. Going to hang on to my '70 4-speed in FL since I get to drive it much more down there. Owning a first gen SS is a unique experience - one I will always treasure. Quote
Rob Peters Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Dennis, that must have been very hard to do. That is a very pretty Monte. I glad you sold it to one of our members to keep it in the family....so to speak. OK, the member who bought it... come on fess up and show us some pictures of it with your new SS rob 1 Quote
imr Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Dennis your car is gorgeous and it has had a great 8 years. hopefully it will grace some of the events and you can reconnect. 1 Quote
jft69z Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 More cleaning underneath & removing parts. Getting closer to separation of body & frame. Have to work the next 20 days (12 hour shifts) though before vacation again, so not likely a whole lot may happen. If lucky, maybe an hour or 2 here and there, but it all adds up. 1 Quote
1970mcss Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hit a deer on the way home from work... Now I'm going to have to find a few front end parts... Not the best day but the deer didn't come over the hood. The other good thing if it can be good is I didn't drive my Corvette today... Quote
Mike Brichta Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hey Paul, Sorry to hear about the deer incident. I had a bunch of them run into the side of my 70 about 20 years ago. I guess you could say I got hit by deer. It pretty much sucks. I just got back from a ride in my 72 Corvette and you are correct. A Corvette would be worse. If I can help with some parts let me know.

willie Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 This is what I have been doing for the last week. And this is what I have know. Not finished waiting for this to dry. And then I start the buckets and rear seat springs... 1 Quote
MC1of80 Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hey Paul, Sorry to hear about your run in with a deer. Glad you are ok. Like Mike said, he and alot of us have parts should you need anything. Again, glad you are ok. Willie! You have been busy. Lol looking good! 1 Quote
willie Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 This pic has 2 sets the right set is the Monte the left set is from a Chevelle Quote
willie Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Yes Charlie glad your ok!!! Tom I think I still have sand in my ears. lol Quote
jft69z Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Willie, Looks like you've been having 'fun' this week too... Quote
willie Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks Joe I gave up going to Carlisle this year to do this. Man do I have my priorities backwards!!! lol Quote

72RustBucket Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Well I haven't updated in a very long time, but I finally have enough free time and a fire under my butt. My apologies for not taking very many pictures! My car sits on my grandfathers farm, and isn't allowed back in the shop until it rolls( He has 3 corvettes that take up a lot of space, and he doesn't like them sitting outside for long). So usually I'm too dirty and eaten by skeeters to take a ton of pics with my phone. The rebuild is taking a bit longer than it should, because i made the mistake of not properly labeling everything, or not keeping all the fasteners but it's a good learning experience regardless! I hope to have more photos for everybody in the future! I have a donor car for the motor that I can snap a few pics of as well. Thanks! Quote
71MonteCarloMD Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 My son and I got back to work on body, removed drivers door for work. Quote
72RustBucket Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Finished front suspension for the most part, got steering reconnected, pulled her off blocks. Pulled it around the yard a bit with the Mule. Feels good to get her out of her secluded nook! Tomorrow I've got to get the pressure washer going so I can give her a good bath inside and out! 1 Quote
