Yep,the Monte went into winter hibernation this afternoon. I put some Sta-Bil and a small bottle of gas line antifreeze in the tank,which got filled up with the finest High Test that Petro Can provides. All in all,it was a pretty good summer with the Monte. It got a new Kenwood Excelon...

Went to a Show N Shine today,about an hour and fourty minute drive each way from home. It was at a campground and there was a good turnout,last I heard there was over 210 cars there. Heres pictures of the G Body's I saw.

Went to a small car "Cruise In" approximately 2 hours from home yesterday There was around 110 cars there,not a bad turnout. We're not allowed to call them car shows due to the Covid,so they are cruise ins or car gatherings,LOL Someone took this real nice picture of the Monte and I wanted to...

It started out with just 2 Monte SS's,then we found 2 Buick's along the way. The electronic touch climate control was in the blue Regal,I've never seen one before. Guy

I thought that I would start a new thread rather than continue this one; https://gbodyforum.com/threads/new-lifters-are-on-the-way.77324/ I am finally getting around to putting my new IskyEZ Roll Helix solid roller lifters in the 513 BBC. So far I have the top of the engine stripped down and the...

A few years ago I bought the H4 headlight kit from Mike @ Mike's Montes. I just noticed that the passenger side high beam must have caught a flying rock and punched a hole right in the middle of the glass. The light still works,but I need a new headlight. Does anyone know where in Canada I might...

I know that we cant do much this year,but Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians !!! There are usually at least two Canada Day car shows not too far away. But,not this time... Guy

The wife and I had this planned for a week or so. Done a few things to the Monte lately,fixed the clutch Z Bar,replaced the Jeep steering shaft with an Astro shaft and a new stereo. For the most part the Monte worked flawless.Ran real good,shifted good,the new stereo sounds great and the Astro...

Steve pontiacgp sent me an Astro shaft a year or two ago. Yesterday I went out to see Jim at the machine shop to let him know how my clutch Z Bar was working and to say thanks for fixing it up for me. I popped the hood because he wanted to see if we could put another heim joint on the clutch...

The old Doug Nash 4+1 started getting hard to shift last year and at first I thought it was the clutch. I thought about it all winter and realised that I didnt want to pull the transmission until I checked into it further. So I looked at excess play in the clutch linkage to start.The holes in the Z...

My old Kenwood started acting up last year,probably from the pin connection where the faceplate goes on. I liked that Kenwood,so I got another one,this is the Excelon KDC-X304 model. This one is an upgrade from the old one,with more tuning features,but the operation is almost identical...

Hey guys,I'm thinking about having an inside window decal made. I would be putting it on the inside of the rear side window on my '86 Monte SS. How long is this piece of glass ?? I cant measure mine because its still in winter storage. Who knows for how long,we just had more snow today... Guy

I started a thread on this last year,but it is closed to further replies. Anyhow,I was looking at a set of Isky's latest design bushed lifters with the Helix option; http://www.iskycams.com/downloads/ISKY-EZRollHelixFlyer119.pdf So after a pretty good winter at work,with few days off,I decided...

Yep I’m going to see Cheap Trick and ZZ TOP live in concert in Halifax !!! Bought advance floor tickets yesterday,this is my Christmas and Birthday present all rolled into one. A reward for freezing my butt off in the Alberta oil patch all winter long. Pretty excited 😆 Guy

I put the Monte into winter storage today for the long winter months ahead. It's time to get back to work for the next 6-7 months in the Western Canada oil patch. I had a good summer with the Monte once I got the intake gasket issue straightened out,along with one or two other minor problems...
