    Barb I wish I could do that with the truck right now! It's been raining so much, no time to work on her, without rolling it out in the rain, and getting the primer all wet!

    I'm very curious as to what the main gremlin was that kept you from getting it to run.

    me too. but i am po'ed that i was sold the wrong motor mounts and was told that they were right. i had no way of knowing that they would never work that way. then that was what caused my shifter rod to bind.

    All that pain will be gone once you put it in drive and get that first ride, Barb. They tell me it's like childbirth.........but you have more experience with that than me.

    My wife and I had a 1971 when we got married. Gold with white top. We wish we had it today! I had it repainted and new interior and carpet in 1979. They were a very classy looking car.

    when i sand her down again and repair the front panels behind the front panels she will be repainted in semi gloss black. love how the monte looks like that. no chrome but with red accents. i am very excited to get her back when the shop finishes with it. i do not know about the childbirth part. that was a little painful.

    nope. the mechanic has not started on it yet as far as i know. going to get hubby to give him a call tomorrow. he has a new business in the community and it is just him and his wife working on things and the word is out that he is very good so cars are backing up in his garage.

    that is what i think is going on. he said that i can make payments and that he will work with me. so i guess he is working on the daily drivers that pay right away.

    well guys the mechanic started on the monte today. he called and asked me to come over as he needed my input on the engine mounts. I told him that i could not as he has my car. he laughed and said that he understood. i then told him that i could send my son over after school to answer any questions. he said that the only thing that he needs to know is how high i want my engine to set. if he sets it high i have to cut my hood for the air cleaner. if he sets it low then the exhaust ends off the headers will be sitting up on the frame. Charlie is going to tell him to sit the engine high. it also looks like i am going to have to go to a floor shifter as the engine is going to pinch the shifter arm from the firewall. will let you know what the decisions are when charlie gets back. i wish so much that i could go over and tell him what to do but the shop is across the bridge that i can not because of my phobia cross.
