I just looked on Lutty's online and they show new front fenders for '71-'72. $789.00 ea. . From what they show might be something to think about if you're repairing old fenders, could be a wash for the price. I believe they are in lower Pennsylvania?

Welcome to the MONTE madness!! Glad to hear that have become a member. Lots of Monte people here help you out with your questions. Welcome aboard my friend!pictures are appreciated also.😊

Napa, Dorman products was the choice back in the day. Lutty's might have them in stock.😊

Mow grass? Now? we have snow coming down. Besides it's going to be weeks until the ground is firm enough for the Ventrac Mower. 1,200 lbs of sheer terror !! I'll have to tip toe through with the push mower for awhile before I can let the big dog out on it !!

Big Block, 4spd. Nice!! Bets on what it goes for?

Welcome to the Club Curtis !! You'd be better off replacing all 4 door hinges. You'll like how nice and smooth they close together after you change them out. Had mine in since '05 and still working good. Doors are heavy. I've strapped them up and used a hoist to do mine.

Just wanted to thank whoever got this back on the forum. I'm still in the " re- assembly" of mine. All gauges back in place and re-installing dash. I had to pull it on due to clock ,RPM gauge and new cluster assembly ( cracked and junk ). I'm still confused kon wire from the battery to horn relay. Mine is a '72 Monte Carlo with '70 dash parts. I'm old school and like the green dash more then the white.

Cool, I'm looking at 1 right now.I knew that I wasn't wrong, just mistaken😊

As mentioned, I have been looking through the forum and I get really confused about how to change mine out from a SBC to a BBC shroud. I have my original SBC shroud. I believe I get a BBC Chevelle (???) Shroud , and use the piece that goes from the fan to the rad on my shroud? So confused right now. I'm going to work on something else now and hope I get a answer on this. I'm finishing up my Turbo400 trans install. Drive shaft length is next. This BBC upgrade has it's downfalls, but can't wait to hear it start up!!

I was cruising through Lutty's parts warehouse and came across new front fenders for our Monte's? Anyone else see this?

Leo is the man!! Always great to chat with about all 1st gen Monte's. Mine are still in and going on 17 yrs.

Good catch there Jared!! I was thinking the same thing. I have to get a new front bumper for my Monte. The engine for my ( dare I say) '88 Fiero Formula, made a scratch in mine. Broke my wrist for it though, so now I'm thinking about shortening it up like they did in NASCAR back in the day. Thoughts?

Looking good Larry, me thinks you're doing a great job. Don't be breaking any knuckles, when we bleed, we bleed together😊

You've got 1 Nice Monte Carlo there sir !! Looks great, it's not going to last long with all the said documentation and being a 1 owner car. Mr. Boyte might be interested in a SS to accompany his other Monte Carlo?

When changing filter, 3 quarts to start. Car level ( on the ground), in park, idling, let it warm up, pull dipstick, wipe then reinstall, pull back out and check level. This gets close to how much more needed. Try not to over fill. I do the half quart trick to see where the level goes from there. Easy Peasy😊
