Montecarlo interior update

[Ron Avery]

So this is a teaser of my Montecarlo update. It was supposed to be ready today, but we all know how how that goes. All of these projects are for my trip to the Lancia west coast meet in July.
1.Replaced the head gasket and head bolts. ( Oil was weeping from the gasket.)
2. Replaced the expansion valve, and the low pressure switch, plus new A/C lines. ( the car had A/C lines with hose clamps) so it did not hold Freon)
3. Updated the center ventilation vents, to 1977 vents.
4. Powder coat valve covers and cam belt cover.
5. Reupholster dashboard and door armrest, in red Alcantara to match seats.
6. Bluetooth radio.

Really looks sharp Ron, you have one of the nicest Scorpions in the country by far.

Thanks again, I think it is great to see our cars that are owned buy people like us. That are willing to take care of them and improve them.

Ok, I am finally back in town, I picked up the Montecarlo yesterday and spent about 4 hours detailing it.
observations,
1. The new Bluetooth radio works great, and sounds good as well
2, The latest A/C upgrade works well, does not ice up and, the new vents now allow the air to be directed better. The A/C still only bows 50 degrees. (The A/C in my 1985 GTV6 Callaway blows 40 degrees).
3. I love the look of the completed interior, and the engine bay looks much better and cleaner.
