Figured I’d let you all know the Monte ran a 12.84 at 106mph the guy didn’t make any adjustments either. I’m sad but happy at the same time lol.

Thank you all again. I did get good money for it, I doubled my investment that was my main reason for doing it. I can tell you that I am going to find a cleaner car next time screw that rust man 😂

Well unfortunately I had let the Monte go last week. My son started school and they decided to go with remote learning for the first 2 months maybe more if the 💩 hits the fan again which puts my wife out of work. I need to keep a roof over our heads and food in the fridge. I just want to thank...

I finally have a track day set!!! I’ll be going to New England drag way on September 13th for a test and tune. I’ve made quite a few test hits with the car, it boogies and I’m shifting early. I think I figured out the timing ordeal I was having, when I set the lash cold I set it .004 tighter...

I got some 100 octane low lead from the local airport and took the car for a ride down the street yesterday, it runs great and pulls like a **** which is great but it still needs some tuning. Unfortunately my tires are rubbing on the wheel well and I just put some 5/16 spacers on and it’s still...

After almost 2 years of hard work this beast is about ready to make some passes. I would like to thank all the members for all the advice and kind words. Also a big thanks to my wife for allowing me to spend so much time in the garage 😂. It’s definitely not done yet but it’s a hell of a lot...

Busted my a** to get it in primer today. Looks much better now.

Thanks man!!! I can honestly say I don’t like doing body work, this will be the third car I have painted and I hate this part more and more every time😂. My plan is to hit it with some nitrous down the road, I’ll slowly work my way up to a 200 shot if it doesn’t break first.

Made some progress on the body work today. Still have a lot to do but it’s coming along.

That looks good! Thanks for the pics, I’m going to use them, it will save me some body work for the time being until I’m ready for a real paint job 😂

Thanks!!! I appreciate it. It’s been a long road and a lot of work. I would probably be racing by now if this whole covid thing didn’t happen. Now I’m just taking my time and going to get it one color for now.

I also found a set of ground fx for the Monte that come with the white body when I bought it. I thought they were Fox body or something as the guy I got it from had several circle track cars. It’s the full set I am contemplating putting them on there’s not to many montes around here and none of...

I got a good start on the body work the past few weeks. I’ll post some pics up when I make some more progress. I really need the right rear lower quarter panel patch, but I can’t find one it looks like they all sold. It’s funny because 3 months ago they were everywhere for $60. The few I found...

I got the floors patched up around the cage this past weekend. I’m happy with the outcome, I still have to paint the under side of the patches maybe this weekend. It’s finally warming up here in NH a bit so I can start the body work which I’m dreading 😂. I’m just going to rough it in and prime...

Thanks for the advice man, relocation brackets and a drag bag are on the list of eventual upgrades. Someone has rebuilt the rear at some point it has strange 28 spliners already. I will look in to a cover but I do plan on a 9 inch as soon as this one brakes so the sooner the better because then...
