Re: i think its ready to cruise now
Welcome back bud, we've missed ya. The Monte looks fantastic, great shade of blue!
I don't know what was said to keep you away for so long but don't let anybody give you any grief!
I dig the tat's- especially the script.

Re: i think its ready to cruise now
Looks Excellent! As if just rolled of the assembly line. I like the stance & your attention to detail / factory look under the hood. Nicely done.

Re: i think its ready to cruise now
Chris,you need the skull and crossbones anti freeze decal on the passenger side of the rad cover. Get it through a Corvette place because its the correct one.

Re: i think its ready to cruise now
Surely, my brother in law owns a perfect 68 Corvette and always has/had catalogs around so I find stuff in there.

the monte just spent 2 weeks in the exhaust shop. first problem was-
he did not like my BBC shorty headers!!!!!!!!! OWell
than he did not like the fact that i did not want the tails straight out the back!!!!!! tuff $h!+.
than my 10+ year old muffs were to rusty for him.........OMG
but i got what i wanted,2 1/2 mandrel with flowmaster 50 series and it fits like a glove.


BTW-converter cover is on now......lol
