    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Maybe until about a year ago, I hadn’t either but they’re pretty awesome. Wish I had known about them sooner. [emoji1417] Fumoto F-101N Engine Oil Drain Valve https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VC7138/?tag=gbody-20 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Forgot the pic of the last part... I’ve used these on multiple cars (the ones I wanted to keep) and love them. Reduces the mess and doesn’t require any tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Got my breadbox in the mail, thanks to PBGbodyFan... excited about getting this because apparently they’re not super easy to find. I just don’t know how to attach it to the radio area but I’ll figure that out later after I fix a few places in it and paint it when I figure out what color I want...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    No problem! Hopefully I’ll get to a point where I can help others and I also want to document my own progress so I can look back a year or so from now and see where it all started. Thanks!! I’ll definitely keep you all updated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh really? I’m in the Auburn area so we are actually pretty close to one another As for plans, I want to get it running well for now and sort out some of the accessories under the hood because the guy before me wasn’t very mechanically inclined or knowledgeable. Not 100% sure how healthy this...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Yeah, just from a peace of mind standpoint, like Injectedcutty said, it just makes sense to replace the tank. I’ll go ahead and order that next week. So after doing research, I’m learning that these things get stolen like motorcycles do.. so I decided to use a trick I thought up for my bike...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Unfortunately it does. I planned to drop the tank because it’s not too difficult, but I could smell the fuel when I got home and I knew it was leaking at least some. I’ll be working on that this weekend /later this week hopefully. How big would the hole need to be to warrant replacement versus...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    As I go, I'll also be collecting interior pieces.. Apparently, his CD player was stolen by a family member, and the speakers were completely in dissarray, so I pulled almost all of the wiring, and will be running my own wiring later. I'm thinking a single kick panel or door panel speaker on each...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    So with the 4 flats, I had to use fix-a-flat on one of the front tires, and pray the other tire held air until we made it back the 2 hour drive home. It did, but didn't like going above 45 MPH, so that turned into a 3 hour trip home but its finally here. First order of business was getting the...

    Riley’s 78 Monte Carlo — "Rolling the Dice"

    Good afternoon everyone, Wanted to start a thread after introducing myself in the New members section. I've always been into later model import cars, owning a 15G turbocharged Auto to manual swapped Civic, Maxima and 350Z prior to this. A few months ago, I decided to get rid of the Honda and...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    New terminal for negative side, whole new positive wire back to the starter. Coolant reservoir has seen better days.. Heater core replacement.. ...and tracking down exactly what these hoses and wires go to. I think it goes to a cruise control module so maybe a vacuum source. The green and...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Lol, I meant that I’d be making a switch in the glove box for another accessory but became a victim of talking and posting at the same time. 80s and 90s Chevrolet trucks, suburbans, etc. Ridiculously long wire on them and with an LED it’s going to be perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Found a mirror with a light out of a newer car to put in the Monte since mine doesn’t have one on the passenger side.. I’ll retrofit it later when I reupholster the visor.. Bought this from a guy locally for $15 to throw under the hood. Ill find a switch to put inside the glove box to turn...
