"It's better to have tried & failed, then to have never tried at `all" It takes a strong man to admit their limitations & seek help when needed. I hope that your father can help & add to the bonding experience of a father & son workin 2gether...Good Luck!!

I still need to powder coat a few more parts but should be taking care of that by the weekend.

^ Hi `Wil, I hope that your health issues are improving & that you can complete your project. Wish you good luck & look forward to your results

Great to see you on the Blog

Many thanks Mr. Space and nice to be read! I'm hoping to have the car running by the end of August, health permitting, and on the road sometime in September. Here are a few pics!

Very cool Wil! Looks great

Good evening everyone. Just got home from work. Probably going to go remove my coil packs and engine mount so I can put on my new ones as soon as they get here tomorrow. I'm anxious to drive my Monte again. Haven't driven it in over a week

Hi `Wil,
Thanks for sharing & posting your updated SuperSuper pic's.
(Next time please try to put a space between pic's)
You have a super project 4-Sure & I wish you good health & no major problems getting it running & back on your highways of life. I'm sure you can't wait to drive it again

==========================================
Hi `Justin, another member waiting to get back in2 his Monte Carlo & enjoy the power & the ride. I think it's good `if a owner doesn't have to drive their Monte everyday, because I think some take it 4granted...That is until they can't drive it.
Wish you a e.z. update on your coil packs...Let us know how it went & how it's running...

Wish everyone a Super eve...EnJoy

==========================================
p.s. Hi Tadd, great to see you online & I'm happy to read you made it home safe..
EnJoy your `eve...(Oh, like your new pin stripe's)

Dubs- spray the bolt down with pb blaster and let it soak in for a while. I have also heard about a product called Kroil.Penetrating-Lubricating Oils I heard its the best there is but havent tried it yet.

Wilco the motor looks great.

Tadd I had an hour drive each way today to get to the jobsite we were working on. Its a 2 lane roadway and I was behind a truck on the way there and a bus on the way back today. I feel your pain.
Other than that my day was fine.
