Mike 57 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Picked up my crankshaft, pistons, rods, rings and bearings after balancing. CP pistons were perfect out of the box. Rods needed a little help. Balance bob weight worked out to 2224 grams. Â Painted my block the body color.
LostnFound Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I checked on it and it is safe and sound and undisturbed.

footballubet Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Lifted the front of the cover....yep still hibernating.
7tonemonte Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Oil and filter change, fuel filter change, then back into the corner of the garage! I put Anthony to work, soon he will handle all the maintenance on vehicles here Another full day of rain today, roads are cleaning up, I'm hoping to stretch it's legs a bit this week.
Canuck Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Drove the 71 to work this morning. Now I can't wait to drive home. Photos to come later.
LostnFound Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Makes you wanna submit the returns to Ottawa in person?
Canuck Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Photos as promised. Â Driving to work. Had some good tunes. Â The view from my office. I love that I can see my car all day from my desk. It's about 7 feet away. Â Coming home:
Rob Peters Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 If you have to be working as much as you are it is nice to have that view out of your window Rob
Patrick Sheean Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Cool Aaron, as your 8-track says, "Right, your bloody well right you got a bloody right to say." Nice pics, thanks.
LIL' Mac Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Aaron, I've said it before, I'll say it again, that is one sweeet SS. And that is a great view you have too. Dig the 8 track  I have only started my Monte and backed it out of the garage thus far. Planning on washing tomorrow and taking the first ride since October
MGD72Monte Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 That's a nice Monte Aaron, a beautiful road to drive to work and a great parking / office location, no wonder you enjoy going to work on Saturday!
footballubet Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Beautiful scenery for your drive. And the view at work is nice too!
Canuck Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 The scenery makes for a nice drive to/from work. Very little rain where I live and no bumper to bumper traffic either. My drive is about 25 minutes mostly at 65-70 MPH.
Mike 57 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Finished my short block. Pictures in modifiers section
cbolt Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Ordered my chin spoiler. Randy said it will ship on April 11, too late for the Tally barbeque but I still cannot wait!
LIL' Mac Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Drove the Monte for the first time since October today. Man she sure did run sweet, it felt FANTASTIC
abe72 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Took it to a cruise in by the beach yesterday. Plan on attending another tonight.
