Sam (Bones) Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 mounted and adjusted the shifter on the 4 speed, restored the back-up lights and mounted them in the bumper, installed part of the exhaust too
BlueRidgeMike Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Saturday I took the 72 down the mountain into SC and followed old sections of the historic Bankhead Highway between Greenville and Spartanburg before returning home. It rained non-stop. On Sunday it was sunny all day. I took the 70 and followed the Dixie Highway down the mountain into SC again and drove some more two lane roads before returning home. Great way to spend the weekend, traveling old roads in great cars.
LostnFound Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 When I'm visiting my brother-in-law in the Mullins South Carolina area we ride for hours on the motorcycles. It sure is pretty there....and the pavement is like glass compared to up here. Glad you had a great weekend of touring Mike. Cheers, Larry
DDay Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Removed the wheels and sent them off to be powder coated. Included the spare.
LostnFound Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Hey Don, that's awesome...sure will look nice when you get them back. What's the cost there to have 5 done? It is $700 up here in $anada.
DDay Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 It was $65. each for a 15x7 rim. That included blasting, degreasing and coating the entire rim. Here is the link: Â http://boneheadperformance.com/powder-coating/ Â Â Â
LostnFound Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 SWEET! Great website too....very professional looking!
footballubet Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 It was $65. each for a 15x7 rim. That included blasting, degreasing and coating the entire rim. Â Wow! I won't let my powder coater read this. All 5 of mine were $130! And those are 15x8's.
71 MONTE 4 YA Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Bought a nice rust free fender from Seville Ohio that someone closed the marker light hole up. I will be removing the welds.
Leghome Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Got the 72 all loaded and ready to roll out. Going to the James Dean Run and Car Show in Fairmount Indiana today, tomorrow and maybe Sunday if it does not rain Sun. I preregistered and got number 671. There will be one heck of a lot of great cars there. Also just norht of Fairmount Gas City has the Ducktail Run going. Last year I went to the Ducktail and it was crowded, really crowded like 2600 cars or more and very limited parking if you got there late in the morning.

Sam (Bones) Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 installed the rear bumper, but now it has to back off for some "adjustments" don't you just love aftermarket stuff Â
DDay Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 new springs, shocks and sway bar, posted some pics off photo bucket. why are they not showing up? Â Â Â Â [/img] [/img] [/img]
stangeba Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I see them. Yellow Monte, springs, rear drum. rear anti sway bar. Nice!
Big Jim Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Well I thought the gauge was working. Now it stays at 1/2 mark. Before it stayed at 3/4. I did disconnect the lead in the trunk and showed way over full. grounded out lead and got about 1/4. I am at a loss. I filled up Saturday and drove about 38 miles. When I filled up it was still at 1/2.
Hisalone Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I took it out for a little spirited cruise today. I had it cleaned up for the shows this weekend, but one got rescheduled because of the weather and the other canceled. Anyway, thought I'd take her for a spin. This thing handles well and moves out like a champ. Many thumbs-up from other random drivers.
dbreese Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 After massaging the front crossmember and installing a holley hp 170 mechanical pump, I'm re-plumbing the fuel system from the current electric fuel pump system. Removing the pump, return line, wiring, relay and regulator. Â All -8 stuff. Â David
Leghome Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Went to a cruise in in Danville IN this evening. I am not sure about driving 1 1/4 hours just for a cruise in. I guess it was worth it though because I got to see my 7 year old granddaughter and had a great breaded tenderloin at a local eatery and seen a lot of nice cars and some not so nice. LOL LOL
Boots Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I picked up the one piece floor pan with rockers as the last piece I need to start my deconstruction...got my rims delivered yesterday and ordered my tires for mounting on Monday... I'm starting to get REAL giddy
Canuck Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Drove the 71 Monte to work for the last time this year. Putting the 71 away for the winter. The 70 remains insured all year so I still have something to cruise in on weekends.
LIL' Mac Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Drove the SS two hours away up to see Joe(Toppless72). We went to a friend of Joe's house and bought some '55 Hardtop parts, not planned just happened! Had a GREAT time and it was a beautifull day. Joe is a class act and a very nice guy.
D.E Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 What kind of 55 hardtop parts are you looking for
LIL' Mac Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Steering wheel, door spears, rocker mouldings, and I am not sure what all yet.
