Joker_USAF Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I'm slowly working on my restoration. Today I got the rear bumper off, seats out, carpet removed and most of the old sound deadener scrapped off.

Andreas Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Finally had time to work on the Monte this Sunday. First time since we moved south... Â Finished the installation of the 92-98 Buick Power Side Rear View Mirrors, they work! Â Next on the list: Florida Style Window Tinting & Installation of a Autometer GPS Speedometer Sensor... Then putting the interior back together and cleaning the Monte...
Leghome Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 So the 92 to 98 Buick side mirrors will work on our cars. Do the need any modifications to fit properly?
Rob Peters Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Andreas, Any pictures of those Buick side mirrors? Rob
pocobill7t1 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Went out in the nice weather today, after warming up the car I warmed up the tires I love the smell of rubber in the day. 7C in Vancouver ( 44F and sunny )Even got the rallies back on and shined up.
abe72 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Great day here, took the wife and Monty out breakfast then a ride along the beach. Â
Patrick Sheean Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Great day here, took the wife and Monty out breakfast then a ride along the beach.  Where in California? SoCal? I live in Paso Robles, let me know.
Canuck Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Looking good Abe. I'm still waiting for snow and salt to disappear.
LS5 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Feeling well enough to take the car cover off and snap a picture and then put her back to sleep and then myself 2 hours later… haha. Darren.
502ci Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Feeling well enough to take the car cover off and snap a picture and then put her back to sleep and then myself 2 hours later… haha. I was hoping to see a picture...and not one of "you" sleeping, you did good... Â
7tonemonte Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Good to hear Darren, it still looks beautiful
Canuck Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Had my 70 out for the first cruise of the year. Also started up the 71, pulled it out of the garage and let it run for a while. Both started up great afte being parked in November. Sure was nice being behind the wheel of a Monte today.
footballubet Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Had the wheels powder coated a few months ago  Definitely look better silver!
JMCQ442 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Ordered new lower body and rockers moldings. Plus, 3:73 gears to replace the 2:73 gears. Just need some warm weather in Chicago. All I can do is start her and smell the fumes.
bigscaht Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 got the doors back on the car and lined up pretty close..since I didnt have an extra set of hands to help i found a new use for my engine hoist...hahahah
monte70car Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Haven't touched the Monte since Oct. but have been getting a game plan for the 72 from Jared and even placed a wheel order. looks like something you see on a Camaro but it looks good on a Monte too.
Rob Peters Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Drove by the garage it is stored in, looked at the snow piled in front of the door and kept driving. Rob
72jrfan88 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Drove by the garage it is stored in, looked at the snow piled in front of the door and kept driving. Rob  thats funny. Same thing by me here in wisconsin. Saw the snow piled up and had a dream later that night that I was operating it
Michael Boyte Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 So long as you didn't see tire tracks, The dreams should be fine. Drove by the garage it is stored in, looked at the snow piled in front of the door and kept driving. Rob
footballubet Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Had to get a out of the fridge in the garage last night. Walked by it and peeked under the cover. Thought I heard a voice ask "How long till spring"?
Rock Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 My wife bought me a couple birthday presents and they showed up. Â The new Dash pad... Â Â My new steering wheel. Â and started to redo the package tray... Â Â I used 1/4 mosonite and it fits good. Just need to glue down some low pile black carpet and it will look 100% better.
Mike 57 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My wife picked me up some black vinyl at Jo Anne Fabric, That may work better than carpet. And it will be easier to tuck under the rear seat.
72 LS5 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Rock - I love that steering wheel! Wish they were optional on the 72s.....
