Ok it really did happen, posting a couple of pics for Jim. Beauty of a 72, a little hard to see in pics but he is going to try to get better pics later.

Then prep and paint before the frame goes in

Got it out of the garage and washed it. I think I have a cooling problem as it went above 220 degrees and I shut her down.

[bigtankjones]

1st coat of primer sprayed. Yippie

[LostnFound]

That's awesome Tony!

[Mike 57]

Loaded it into the trailer, going to beat the snot out of it tomorrow!

Took it out for its first ride of the year! Great feeling. Put on a new air filter and logged about 25 miles..started up on first crank...of course I also detailed it a bit

Maybe stuck thermostat?

Drove it to work again. I put on about 40 miles a day and working 7 days a week right now. Going through lots of gas in the 454 but its a lot of fun.

[stangeba]

Drove it, first time this year. Prior to starting, I poured a bit of gasoline down the carb and it fired right up. Sure is better than cranking till the carb refills! Why haven't I done this for the past 25+ years? Sure was fun to drive it again.

Knocked the scum off the surface, dusted her off, did a bit of cleaning, put on my new plate and went for a little cruise.

 

All clean

 

 

Last years plate

 

 

Due to the recent discussions on how many CUSTOMS are out there I thought this plate was in order for this year

Very cool Cory!

[farmall]

I nearly finished the disc brake conversion, removed the gas tank and tried to straiten up around the car. Lots of tools, old bolts, etc. laying around. Now it is organized so I can get back at it after church tomorrow.

Went down to Jared's and picked up my 72 u code today. Long day and a short night as work starts tomorrow morning.

[LostnFound]

Made room for it today in the garage. Next weekend it will be home again weather permitting.

[Rock]

Added all new window, trunk and hood seals. No more wind and water leaks.

[Malyc]

How much did the parts cost for doing that, Rock?

I bought the kit from Tamaraz. It was $130.00. You get all the rubber seals with the plastic keepers. They were all pretty easy to replace. The door seals were the hardest cause you have to remove the inner panel.

Definitely something for me to look into, then... I get a nice steady drip from the mirror onto my seats when it rains >.<

[Sam (Bones)]

my '71 is finally in the garage, waiting for it's new DUI distributor and a new set of autolite platinum plugs

"What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?"

 

Well today I did something "for" my Monte Carlo and that was install a long over due garage door opener.

FYI, the seals he bought from Tamraz are for the side glass and trunk, not the windshield. Isn't your leak at the windshield?

The windshield was installed without a soft rubber seal. You can reseal it. Read here.
