7tonemonte Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Opened up the garage door and Stuffed a couple boxes of tools under the rear of it. Emptying out my box at work to move it out tomorrow
7tonemonte Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Pushed it out of the garage to jump start it I never even disconnected the battery this year, may be time to get a battery tender? The battery in the car was the first thing I got for it, so that was the starting point for the snowball Went out for a nice cruise afterwards though, it was so nice to get Monte out and take a ride I got to clean up around it in the garage also, now hopefully with the new job ill have some time and energy to whittle away at some little stuff! Of course Alli took it out for arise too while it was outside
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Shoulda asked yesterday! I took it for a spin for the first time since I put her to bed last Fall. Today I just got a few pics taken where shes stored. This next week is going to be awesome for weather but naturally am working. Doug
Dans '70 Z20 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 A/C on. Engine wired, plumbed & detailed. Exhaust completed. Dash in. LED conversion complete. Custom wheels and tires installed.

Updated my avatar ..... But do not know how to add other pics. Dan
bigtankjones Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Pushed The Monte out of the Garage to work on the Front suspension on the '86 Firebird. Then Pushed the Monte back in.
monte70car Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Went to finish the trunk redoing and figured I would sprayed the mat as well as the mat covered must of the trunk that I sprayed. Pictures of that tomorrow.
cny first gen 71 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Drove it, took it to a party up in Oswego NY it ran perfect all the way about 75 miles round trip. Was a little cool but a nice day for a ride.
Canuck Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Both my Montes got their first wash of the year today. The weather has been fine for a while but been working long hours and just didn't have the time to bath them until today. Felt good. They looked all shiny in the sun sitting in the garage next to each other. the minivan can wait, LOL.
Evan91 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Replaced front pads, rotors, brake hoses, rear wheel cylinders. Found the rear brakes I replaced last fall one of them is cracked
Shnalla Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I sprayed my trunk mat last night Wow look fine !
Shnalla Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Installed my new carpet this week-end. It was a pain in the a** to install. It is a bit baggy near the backseats. I will try to steam it a little.
LuckyKenny Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I stared at a picture of my car today for 10 minutes
Mom's Car Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I stopped by S P Classics to visit my Monte. They just installed my new 582. I LOVE my new hubcaps. All I need now is some white walls.
monte70car Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Got a pint of touch up paint for the Monte and received sad news . Some time soon(not sure when) the do it yourself person will not be able to get paint in VA to paint your car as the EPA is pushing for water base paint. Tomorrow I will be using my pint($131) wisely and touch up some small starches.
monte70car Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Only if your a license body shop. You would think going waterbone anyone would be able to buy it and spray it unlike the older paint.
monte70car Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Touched up those areas with guidance from Tony last night Starched the paint removing the old rear bbumper We chipped this area putting the reproduction hood trim on Hood all touched up Starches all filled in maybe a light sanding and a buff.
NewTimer Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Nice day so I drove her to class, electric fan and relays should both be here by next week
72Ragtop Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Snow is gone (!!!!!!) Roads wereclear & Dry so I drove it to work.....The top is going down on the way home this afternoon!
Toppless72 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I started it for the first time since last June. She started right up and sounded good. I let it run about 10 minutes. I keep it stored at a friend's house 38 miles away from my house. This is also the first time I've seen it since last June.
Steve70Carlo Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I got home from a rough day at work so I pulled the Monte out of the garage and cleaned up some of the moulding around the windshield. It was a good stress releaver.
Chevyss Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Went to check on it at the body shop. Hope to have it home for the weekend
CKZ03 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Moved my car down to the body shop I work at to prep & paint in one of our booths. Final fitting & final blocking, will get painted this week. You ever feel like your arms are going to fall off? They will after block sanding one of these monsters Check this out, I kinda liked the look
7tonemonte Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I like the tag like that Cory, looks real nice!! The car is coming along real nice, cant wait to see it done (What color is that your spraying it? I love it!) I remember blocking my hood, it definately is a workout! The quarters arent too much fun either Actually now that I think of it, I dont think I have been in nearly as good a shape as when I was blocking my Monte down, cardio at its best!
