What in the world are you towing with a Monte? Don’t y’all have trucks in North Carolina

Lol, never mind. For a bike I got it

Yeah I thought it would be cool to take my bike on a road trip. Planning to go to Alabama to do some Bass fishing in June with some friends.

Trying to get a little more life out of the paint.

Just a quick update. I've had it back for a few days and have put a few hundred miles on it. It's work pretty much flawlessly and really fun to drive. I'm wanting bigger front brakes so new wheels are coming

Love your car, hitch, LS1!!
I'm hoping I can make my '84 look this good!

Thanks! It's been slow progress with work and home projects. I was removing carpet and vinyl flooring to install vinyl planks. I was moving along pretty good and made it to the kitchen. Removed some of the sheet floring and scraped the paper that was stuck to the floor. Then I happened to think about asbestos. Sent a sample off and sure enough it was asbestos. So next there will be a minumum bill for $4,300 for 250 sqr feet of removal. Crap, there goes the cam, heads, and intake 😓. On top of that the Monte got a leak that needs to be fixed.

Took it to the shop to add bigger brakes and to address the leak.
