Omaha, NE

Jeff Heldt and his dad Jim owned early Montes back in the day, so it only made sense that their new project would be of that ilk. The duo's '70 came to them in running condition with 23,000 original miles and no rust. On the other hand, rodents were living in the interior, so the Monte became known as Mighty Mouse and the inner digs were promptly gutted and rehabbed. The Heldts continued by pulling the car's original 250-horse 350 and replacing it with a 325-pony 355. This Monte also sported a 2.78:1 Tempest rearend (thanks to GM strikes, Jeff tells us); it was replaced with a stouter 3.55:1-geared diff. A rebuilt suspension and 17-inch Boyd Coddington wheels completed the transformation...for now. The future calls for a 200-4R tranny swap and a complete body restoration.
================================================

Good mornin' all. That's a sharp lookin' '70 'Space. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Thanks for checking in...! I have about 170+ days to `go b-4 I'm off double shifts :eek::congrats:~> then it's party time :)

Morning All,

Nice cool start to the day. Makes for a nice ride to work. Got cool enough last night to sleep with the bedroom windows open.

Beautiful 1st Gen Monte, Space. Don't see many like that on the road.

The sun has been playing hide-n-seek the last couple of days and has been hiding behind the rain clouds so we haven't seen much of it. Moderate rain and wind gusts are in the forecast for today with temp in the 50s. :(

Hi `Mike, `Dave & Member's,
It's raining hard here in the SunShine State, but we need the rain..We are about to enter our Hurricane Season :(...,until November :( The price one pays to live in paradise :)

Good morning MCF'ers...here's a pic of what I did with my new MCF shirt. It really adds to the red-and-black interior of the car, and gets our name out to anyone glancing in thru the windows. The second picture shows you what my Monte looks like after her Chemical Guys Wash + Gloss.

Afternoon Ladies / Gents,

Angie - Finally had a moment to look over yesterday' blog and saw this. I spent a few years working on Redstone Arsenal while still in uniform. I retired from the Army in Fall of 2009. I now support a variety of DoD offices as a contractor, some on the Arsenal, others all over the place. I've actually been doing more work for the Air Force out of Wright-Patterson AFB lately. I just go where the work is these days. Getting kinda slim with all the DoD budget cuts.

My family and I really enjoy the Huntsville area - enough to stay here after leaving the Army. Beautiful countryside, some nice rolling hills for good riding, good schools (one more kid to finish high school). Nice place overall.

And about those scary highway tactics... I generally take your approach. I try to put as much distance as possible between me and the idiot(s). Of course, I've also been known to spit on a windshield or two when I catch up to someone who reaaaaaally gets my goat and I'm on the bike. Probably not the textbook solution to conflict resolution, but sometimes I just can't help it. :rolleyes:

afternoon all, just had some rain roll through here and its 68 out. I'm off to school and work shortly, have a good afternoon all.

Hi Everyone, nm goin on here today

Holy crap Dave! I didn't see that coming from you. I definitely get it though.

Evening all. Not alot here either. Decided to pass on the house we made a bid on, looked at another and deciding what to offer. Asking 18K gonna go way lower than that.

Great weather here in KY this week. I've been working on the house painting the trim other stuff this week (that's what vacations are for right). Tomorrow is set aside for something more fun...

In programming class right now taking a quick break. Real good friend of mine is coming home tommorow for a month on leave from the air force. Be great to see him again, and he just got his A+ certification.

For the non computer nerds:p

Evening everybody. I got my 1:18 model 2002 Dale Earnhardt Monte today. :thumbsup: With another 1:18 model on it's way. Can't wait. :)

Taz, what's the other 1/18 car........You wanna trade anything?

Good evening everyone! The weathers been great here - but it's going to get hot this weekend. I'm going to an all GM car show on Sunday at a local Buick dealership (used to be Pontiac)

Evening Amy and Chris!

Chris, it's a 2003 Jeff Gordon edition. It'll join the 02 Dale Sr, 04 Dale Jr, and 04 Intimidator on my desk.

Amy, you haven't been around much or maybe I missed it, did you get your stang yet......

Not much going on ..Just washed my1940 chevy , may drive it to work fri..

So how old is the TSB & Recalls tab above (right) on the forum page, or is it something I may have missed?

TSB & Recalls

evening all just relaxing and catching up on the forum. Been busy working on my bosses building. We took all the aluminum off the front and used it to replace the dented and rotted pieces along the side next to the parking lot. I think it has been hit on every old panel. Next we will do some work making the brick underneath look good.

It's been there for a while. It's a link to Alldata. And unless you sign up for Alldata's site, you don't get the details of the TSB's and recalls.
