I’ve got a lot of time to play with this but I thought I’d throw it out to you guys. My Monaco’s paint is pretty scraped up with a few heartbreaking dents in places. Nothing I can’t live with for a few years. A few of the scrapes are through the primer which, again, wouldn’t be a big deal had the PO not touched them up lightly with a rattle can of very wrong colored paint.
The coats were so lightly applied with no primer, they have light surface rust happening.

Being that I’m going to…

Bad touch-up correction

I’m looking for a used but straight oil pan for my Monaco. Mine has an appreciable dent in the sump.

Let me know what you got!

Thanks

Hi all,

Just wondering as my car is due in within the next two days what your thoughts are on tipping the driver. I always tip or at least offer but I’m not sure what a good range is for someone who presumably kept my newest and nicest acquisition safe for roughly 2000 miles.

Gotta keep the drivers happy.

Thanks!

Fellers, I feel a little iffy talking about this so soon as delivery is so far off. However, I feel the journey begins here so here I will start.

I’ve been back up on the forum since July 2016 when I posted about a ride from my past .. indeed, the one that started it all for me. I’ve since been searching, reading through your experiences and projects, rekindling my fire for the hobby, and brushing up and expanding upon my knowledge.

When I started looking again, I felt that holding out…

Not mine. Sort of a depressing looking bend in the front bumper, original console is missing, pissrr of a crease in the rear… BUT solid and running. Could be a nice ride!
