Yeah I was worrie about the garage floor but so far so good, when it gets mobile I am going to take it to work and paint the underside

My current garage floor is crap with big cracks all over letting some water get in in spring but its been almost two years and I haven't seen any ill effects. If you don't have larger cracks or water getting in it shouldn't be too much of an issue, no?

**Rocket Power** · 06-02-2009, 06:24 PM

I do have cracks in the floor, they are strategically placed to grab the wheel of my creeper about 6" from where I need to get to

Same here! One half of mine is also about .5" taller than the other side or so, I really miss my parents and old apartments garage floors. But at least I get both of my Montes in a garage now vs only one.

I have the best wife, friends and family ever. Had my graduation party today and I got all the interior stuff for my car. Seat covers, door panels, carpet etc. and brake stuff.

Not much to see it's all still in the boxes

**Rocket Power** · 06-10-2009, 05:47 PM

Got the top of the exhaust welded up last night, needs to be flipped over and finished up then back on the car and the new rear goes in

**86GUTLASS** · 06-10-2009, 10:51 PM

What mufflers are those?Pypes?

**Rocket Power** · 06-10-2009, 11:25 PM

Hooker Maximum flows, had pypes race pro's on my G-body setup that I traded to a friend for this abody one

**86GUTLASS** · 06-11-2009, 06:24 AM

The race pros are what I ordered.How did you like the Race Pro's ?

**Rocket Power** · 06-11-2009, 07:26 AM

I liked them. I had the 2.5" system on my g-body. Sounded good in the driveway, since I never ended up driving it on the road.

**Rocket Power** · 07-07-2009, 04:49 PM

second/third shift is not working out as well as hoped for as far as getting stuff done. I did put new lines on the 8.5".

**70 cutlass 442** · 07-07-2009, 11:18 PM

/\/\ so that should be bolted to the car by x-mas time??

**Rocket Power** · 07-08-2009, 03:58 AM

Shut up a-hole

Hopefully this week, I have an interview thurs morning and running around tomorrow.

**jbiscuit** · 07-08-2009, 07:45 AM

why not clean it up and paint it before putting it in the car?

That's a good idea.

Sometimes I get in the "I just want to get it done " rush. I think I will, I believe I still have some paint left.

**Rocket Power** · 07-25-2009, 02:54 PM

Got the rear in today. Still need some shocks, it had air shocks and I took them out to use in my wagon

I did paint it like yellow wagon suggested, now it makes the control arms look bad

But it am going to pull them out and box them eventually anyway.

I also pulled out the manual steering box from the other 64. I figured I'd just clean it , paint it and put it in. Yeah couldn't be that easy, someone in the last 40+ years either broke one of the bolts or it broke on its own. The bolts look OEM since the two I took out were getting thin between the head and threads.
Letting it soak with some PB Blaster right now , then heat and a vice grips will hopefully get the stub out.
