Took a couple of pictures of it all covered up and waiting. Next project is to visit the brake backing plates from behind and wire wheel off as much rust and corruption as I can get at before cracking open the brake lines and replacing them with S/S and A-N fitings.

Checked the fluids so that she could be good for when I go out with the boys again, been missing the Monte although the GTO is fun enough to drive
 
I'd look at that from another persepctive - now you're deciding on the new power plant for your G 😏
It's funny you should mention that. About 12 years ago, I prepped two 4 bolt, .030 over 350 blocks and dropped a 383ci kit in each. I lubed them down heavy and sealed them in multiple plastic bags. I strip the bags every year and relube the bottom ends. About 5 years ago, I bought some inexpensive cnc aluminum heads. After the remodel, I guess I'll be putting one of the bottoms with the heads and some other stuff I have and see how the new engine runs. Something to look forward to. Thanks for the positive perspective.
 
"How to pinstripe using one's own blood." Just not sure what market or magazine you could pitch the article to.

As I noted above, here, comfortably cocooned in its cover, sits my Monte. Did not get the opportunity to move ahead with air wheeling the rear brake backing plates. Did check the compressor tank yesterday and let off a few pounds of air to make sure the tank was dry internally. Also took a minute to do the same to the water trap.

The main reason for my not so abrupt change in plans was that the TV based talking weather heads actually got it about right for once and outside temps did approach the circa 50 degrees they had been forecasting. This is/was just enough to prompt me to fill a couple of 5 gallon pails and proceed to give my non-G daily driver S-10 a serious toes to nose bath. Fresh water rinse, car wash soap and water scrub down, and more fresh water to rinse it all off, including a final rinse using a garden grade 2 gallon self pressurizing pump tank loaded with water. Way over due. This is the time of year when road salt is most active and just about any ditch or pot hole of water you encounter is completely contaminated with road salt.

Broke the ol girl out, felt good to get her out and drive. Was funny when I pulled it out of the garage and was going back to close the garage door there was a lady walking her dog who made a crazy face at the car, I was not sure if she was annoyed with me at first. Turned out when she got close she complimented me on it and said it was really cool then kept looking back at it. Once I got her out tho the stereo was driving me crazy cause the speakers are going in and out and having distortion, I need to pull the head unit anyways to test to see if I can stick that one in the Blazer. But don't want to do it before we take them out this weekend so I guess I am going to deal with it for now

That is about the only reason I miss living in the city. Winter ended much sooner and the roads were clear by April. Up here April is early. Come on... err... May?!

I know its just a tease, that the white stuff will be back and almost make it worse because of the tease of being able to get them out
