Nothing. The remainder of the brake line fittings are still on the shelf at the speed shop because I had to give up two weeks to self-imposed exlle, just in case. Turns out the precaution wasn't necessary but Hey, I got to read and could still get into the shop. Precautions aside, it is a good place to cough and hack as much as you want. No one around to be concerned and you can blame it all on the sanding dust and paint fumes!! If it warms up as it is supposed to then I may be able to go pallet hunting.

Got the Monte back on the ground - it is low and the suspension geometry isn't f'd up: mission accomplished.

I took off my interior pieces that were starting to have sun rot. I sanded them with fine fine grit sandpaper, then I’m spraying them with Can bed liner then I’m going paint them with camel paint to match.
I JUST DID THE SAME THING THEY WERE VERY BAD ASWELL I STARTED SANDING THEM ASWELL BUT FOUND OUT SCRAPING THEM LIKE A CARROT WITH A FLAR RAZOR CUT THREW IT WAY FASTER!!
AND NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO PAINT ON OR GLUE FABRIC TO

Here is the pieces sanded down with really really fine grit. Then sprayed with one coat of bed liner. Tomorrow I’m going to maybe add another coat then primer them grey. Then spray them to match interior color so it’s not a black undercoat.
Finished a couple of panels. Before, during, primer and painted.

It’s gonna look way better than the way it was before. I’m happy with my results. At least till I do the interior in the far future.

Finished changing the oil, installed the rear sway bar, and inflated all the tires up to 35 psi and took her for a ride , so much better and with the shorter 225/70 /14s I can really feel this 3.42 gear now and Im kinda glad I didnt go 3.73. Speedo is a lot closer now, its now only 3 mph fast , vs 20 .lol had my trans pressure gauge hooked up and I'm getting a max reading of about 270 at WOT and 125 at idle and soon as you crack the throttle, she jumps up . then I drove it to the house to scrub the blue off the letters.

Who's lower? Who's got more tire? More power?
