Here's my problem why it started running rough , the vacume line cap came off . Runs good now , checked a few plugs and never seen them so clean and only down a half a quart of oil . Not bad for all those " hammer down " miles and that its 36 yrs old .  |

Wow thats good ya found it so fast, I got lucky last year going to meet Elwood Soul for the gig and car was running like hell. I happened to mess w/ all the plug wires and sure enough the car began to idle perfect. It wouldnt stay there so I got one wire from a parts store, I know but I was real broke back then, but that did the trick. Here's the Updated Sail panel,  |

Hey John!! Sorry about taking so much room on the panel. I guess I shouldn't have started drinking before breakfast.  ;D |

Now in Amazing 3D! I've been working on creating a few anaglyph photos. Here is Chitown's car, at this years show. (Credit to country bunker for taking the original photograph) Grab some Red/Blue 3D glasses and witness the amazement!  |

Ok, this is torture, Ha! I dont have any! But right now the picture looks like Ive had way to much to drink.
You say dollar stores have them? Crap the Debbster and I may have to attend one of these new 3D movies, or maybe she has some...

Hello All!!!! Had to re-register for this forum. Looks like the gathering this year was fantastic. The pictures are great. Seems as if everyone had a blast. I feel bad that I missed it, but just like a few others, next year will be here before you know it. I'd love to have another Blumo to cruise to Illinois. For some reason, once the Monaco gets under your skin, it never goes away. Probably the best car I've ever owned. Don't get me wrong, I really, really like my 1982 Trans Am (future Knight Rider replica), but the Blumo is just plain fun. Locals still seem to remember me only by my Blumo. Ken Dunn and his 91 CHP Ford was supposed to be my ride out this year, but family concerns kept him (and me) from attending. I talked to him today and he told me that he received a call not just wondering what happened to him, but curious about my attendance. That says a lot about you folks. I know you have been waiting patiently for me to attend and ATTEND I WILL! The Blumo hobby is full of wonderful people, more so than any other activity I've taken part in, and just wait till I show up in Chicago - non-stop fun awaits! Thanks again for everything you all have done. Keep adding pictures - I'm loving every single one of them. Nathan |

Thanks for the welcome all. Feels good to be back on the forum.
Looking forward to seeing how the pad looks Arthur! Love the pics and vids folks. Gotta get me those red/blue 3D shades. Might have a pair in a book my niece reads when she visits.
Gonna be riding shotgun with Ken Dunn (his way of making up the lost CEVS trip) to a PD car show near Detroit this Friday, August 19th. Leaving PA about 5:30AM, be at the show by Noon.
Saw the classified of the 76 in Columbus Ohio for $3500 OBO. Looks good. Once I can get re-employed, I gotta get me another Monaco.
Thanks all
Nathan
