worked on the car most of this week. found out that the original owner cobbeled a power seat track from another gm car. wasn't the correct track for the seat so he widened the bolt holes and cut the seat frame to install the adjust switch. The steel seat from tore because it was weakened. My buddy tig welded a new piece in for me and now I am awaiting manual seat tracks so that I can reinstall it. Sent the tach out and got word yesterday that the circuit board was bad and it's fixed and recalibrated and on the way back. Improvised some new pieces that cover the area between the sail panels and back window that is exposed using regular vinyl cove molding that I picked up at Lowe's for 3 bucks. Bought a new exhaust from Jegs but one muffler and part of the y pipe had dents in them so I sent it back. New one should arrive this week so I will have it installed hopefully this weekend. Changed oil and will flush cooling system this week and replace with waterless coolant. Will replace both window switches next along with dying the shoulder belt bolt covers and hinge covers on the drivers seat. When I get a few bucks ahead I'll look for some tires. Any recommendations?

I like the tread pattern and overall look of white letter Cooper Cobra GT's than BFG. Plus they're about $50 cheaper per tire. 235/60/15s would look real nice all around. Since the car is such a low mileage one, you might consider getting another set of wheels, and leaving the stock tires on the stock wheels and storing them. Also, you can upload multiple pictures at once. If they are too large, hi-res, etc, it may limit you on how many, or it might not let you at all. Also, once you load the pictures onto a computer, it helps to name them something to remember. Like, montecarlo1, montecarlo2, montecarloengine, etc. On windows computers, you right click on the picture and near the bottom of the little window it will say "Rename".


I like the tread pattern of the cooper:

better than the BFG:

Plus, the cooper has deeper treads. I've never liked the look of a BFG, the tread depth, even new, is really shallow, and it looks like a bald off road tire.
