I would guess they realized that was a bad idea getting fuel spilled inside the car. Not worth the hassle considering how easy its to drop the tank like they have been for years.

 

This is just my Personal Opinion !! ALL of "Smokes" cars with his name on them should be taken to the crusher and his name removed from all of NASCAR history !!
That piece of arrogant scum, while I will admit a championship level driver, does not deserve a car with his name on it ! He deliberately killed that disgruntled Sprint Car driver, and stated that he would do so prior to the race !

 

@Skatulaki - This thread has nothing to do with Tony, it's about getting access to the fuel pump in a 2005 Monte, which happens to be a Tony Stewart edition.

 

Your right, my bad

 

Pretty amaturistic repair to the wires using butt connectors (making more stupid connections that could fail ) solder and heat shrink are thew way to go. Not a bunch of black tape And hammering on a screw driver ,use a brass punch aw gee Mom no sparks Duh. The rest of the info was good .Herman

 

Thanks guys !

Hey for the record, I don't even like tony stewart not one bit, i just really was digging the car!

I actually would prefer and considered getting a paint job to mask the orange stripes on the side

Definitely not a tony fan.... But I am pretty fond of this car... Now on to make a new post with all my current issues lol

 

Hey when I see a Tony Stewart monte, my first thoughts are NOT "this guys is a tony stewart fan".. Dont even sweat it man.. I dont think skatulaki intended to put that vibe out or even realized it actually.. No need to explain yourself..

Just wanted to put that that out there so this can be a non-issue..
