Did you complete those projects on your Montes like you planned on last year? I spent most of the year getting Matt's SS Road worthy and as for my 86 SS, I got the valves readjusted, the engine bay cleaned up, and installed the fuel pump, No wiring or fuel line, But it did get mounted,  LOL! And I did manage to do 2 out of state car shows! The Sea Pirate show in NJ and the Summit Racing all Chevy show in Ohio! Next year's plans are 4 new tires, finish the pump installation, then paint and mount the fender braces that I found on an 85 Cutlass. Matt's SS should be getting a new transmission and upgrading the interior. So who else made their goals? |

So who else made their goals? *raises eyebrow* Does obtaining a winter beater count?

I got things done, thats all that matters. I did SOMETHING. There are quite a few different things to be done, and I at least got one of them about done. That was the interior. Hopefully this next year I can start on the suspension!

Cort yes that counts! But more important is, where are the pics?  Ben, That sucks that you haven't atleast had the chance to start it. Well, hopefully 2010 will be the year you can get cracking on it. Drix, Yeah You did get quite a bit done, I think you got more done than anyone here, LOL! Mike, we know the motor progres, you did some frame work, But yeah, I guess you did tear it apart more, LOL! |

very Nice guys! dealer posters are hard to find these days. Plus they want a small fortune most of the time. I have 2 a 96 and a 02 Monte posters, well, if I ever get to Dougs house to pick them up, LOL! Jen, Love your set up! I wish My wife would let me expand into the living room, right now all I have is a smal spot in the family room, the wreckroom (basement), Most of the bedroom and the garage  |

well i'm lucky my husband doesn't mind, we both have the same sorta crazy taste in decorating. plus i gave up having a dining room so he could turn the room into a bar (and it's actually really neat). so having a monte wall isn't asking too much. ;D

i don't drink much myself.. seems it had more appeal when i wasn't legally old enough to drink. ;D i really just like how we've decorated the room.
aaaaand it looks like i've totally hijacked the thread and completely changed the subject. oops.
kinda reminds me of that huge rambling thread we used to have.

Jen that's so cool you have all those posters and especially the vanity plates!! I love license plates and particularly cool vanity plates. One day when I get settled I'll put mine up on the garage wall.
Mike, that's an awesome poster!!!!
