[CruizinKev]

thanks guys! this year will be hard work! i want the monte carlo as my marriage car in 2013

last week I turned some wrenches again

and today I wire brushed the interior and painted it with some rust preventive paint

 

[charlief1]

What are those frame pads for? Do you have to buy them as a set or can you get the frame pads seperately?

 

[CruizinKev]

frame pads? what do you mean?

 

[charlief1]

The part that bolts to the frame so that you can attach the engine mounts. It has the red bushings in it.

 

[CruizinKev]

[CruizinKev]
