Only problem I'm having with mine is keeping the pollen off of it, lol! I've got so many layers of polymer on it if you breathe real hard on it it's clean again, though... I had a two-week furlough a month ago and I bet I put about 5 layers on it in those two weeks. With no sports, it's all I have left, lol...

About 5 coats on the car and 3 or 4 on the truck.... I get bored without sports....lol

I got something I traded my former red Monte Carlo project car for a 94 Silverado! so now I got my navy blue one and the obs truck. It’s awesome and its definitely a helpful vehicle. it needs some love but it’s a solid truck with a healthy 350! And the navy blue Monte is good it got some new drilled and slotted rotors and led headlight and fog light bulbs. there an update from me after being inactive since I was busy!

I'm currently taking apart things to replace the coolant elbows. Replacing my gross overflow tank too while I have things out. Noticed a bad coolant leak late last year, finally got around to pressure testing the system and saw it spewing out from where the one elbow sits

Good morning MCForum. Went to a car show on Saturday and I got a Best in class trophy, I didn't know this year if there were gonna be any carshows so I thought I would just do a Temporary Race Car theme on the Monte Carlo, so it's a work in progress so far. designed after the 99 Monte that Dale Spun the 5 Car at Bristol, TN I will call it the Cage rattler. when its all done.

Checking in on 6/7/20.

Project this month is to tie high beam relay to low beam with diodes to to 4 light mod, diodes came in yesterday. Just gotta get in behind under hood fuse/relay box to trace wires and tap into them to make it look factory. If time allows also have a cancer spot forming on left rear fender that need fixing but the heat is doing a number on me this year. Not normal.

Be safe out there and between the lines.

It was good to just get out and spend time outside with folks that have similar interests.
