Mom's Car Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 DiamondBack sells anything you need. Google them. They have a huge catalog. Greg, I love your new tires!! Reminds me of my first new '70 Monte! Those tires and wheel covers really give your SS a sleeper look! May I ask what brand they are and your source? A set of those in a size similar to the original G70's or G78's are all I need to complete the alter ego look of skirts and turbine wheel covers for my SS car. Thanks.
Mom's Car Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks Guys. I appreciate the kind words. My goal was to recreate what I had and wanted in my original Monte back in the day. Back then the 1971 Monte with the elusive Aluminum headed LS6 4 speed combo was my "dream" car. One of the local racers swears he had one. That was back then. Who knows? With the combination of old memories and modern technology, I have the modern version of an old "dream". Looks awesome Greg! I love it!
72Ragtop Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Mid 60's today....Left the Magnum in the garage and drove the Monte to work! Out at noon to take "the Long way home".

7tonemonte Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Put it up for sale Wow Royce, this one was short lived. Hope it's nothing we did
Vinniepooh Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Took the wife out for her birthday dinner in the Monte tonight. Probably the last ride of the year.
eMrock32 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Cleaned it up and drove it yesterday and today until my throttle cable gets in to the dealership on my 98 S10 DD. Cruising down the highway and the thing randomly snaps...100$ in parts and tow fees later.
Canuck Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Took my 70 out for a drive today. Got some great fall photos too.
Packratt Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I prefit the tail panel I bought from Jared then pulled the gas tank. Getting ready to cut out the trunk floor and prepping for the new one. It was nice to have unexpected time to work on the Monte.
bigtankjones Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Installed my Big Block today. Also went yesterday and picked up another hood for my '70. Got to meet club member Rooster yesterday also. Thanks for the hood.
FRANKIE T. Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Took her out on toys for tot's run and of course it rained but thats what towels are for. [/img]
71 MONTE 4 YA Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Took her out on toys for tot's run and of course it rained but thats what towels are for. No picture didn't happen
CKZ03 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Drove mine to work today Didn't really care about a heater too much when I was building my car, figured I would never use it anyway. But a day like today I couldn't resist getting her out for possibly the last time. Needless to say the heater worked great, even better than I expected . 38 degrees & sunny today, haven't thrown the EVIL SALT yet but we did have some snow last week followed by 68 degrees with severe storms/tornadoes 2 days ago . Crazy freakin Michigan weather. Dumped in some fuel stabilizer and filled the tank with some 93 octane, hope to get one more cruise in yet, but who knows... Clocked on about 1200 miles on her since the end of June.
LostnFound Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I purchased a full set of rear bumper brackets around a week ago from Hector in California. They showed up today and are in even better condition than I thought. These will powder coat perfectly with no pitting and I'll swap them out down the road when I'm ready.
black07ss Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I have bought a few things from Hector and they too were better than expected! His prices are also very reasonable IMO
LostnFound Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I agree Bob. He's great to deal with, has rust free parts and good prices.
Gonzo Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Looked at mine today when I grabbed my step ladder out of the big garage.
Vinniepooh Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 So when I bought my car the guy told me that the clock worked but he had just pulled the fuse so it wouldn't sit there running for no reason. Well eventually I took a look at the fuse block and all of the fuses were in (I should have known because everything else worked) so I figured he was just saying that. I talked to him a month ago and sort of mentioned it, he said he might of pulled the wire, it was back in 94' and he wasnt sure. So the other night I decided to look into it and sure enough, blindly feeling up behind the dash I felt a loose wire and was able connect it, and it actually works. I took a quick video of it and unplugged it again.
Sam (Bones) Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 I need to pull my dash down to see if mine works
LostnFound Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Same thing happened to me when I had my cluster out....a matter of plugging it in. It keeps lousy time though. LOL
Sam (Bones) Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I acquired a N.O.S.! front bumper today!!!!
