It is coming together slowly but surely. All of the holes for the temp gauges and headers are a different size so many trips to the hardware store is slowing me as i get frustrated and then discouraged so keep taking breaks lol.

No way I I’m not frying my brain to remember all those cars - truck.s maybe someday I’ll sit down and write them . I will show you a picture of what my first car looked like back in the 50s … I was only 8 years old 😂🤣…

Rob is absolutely correct !! However if I was looking for an SS .... Aaron would be the first and only person that I would call .

Jim, you might not want to say that with me around. I’ve heard there’s already a blood shortage. lol. 😂

It won't be long, git-er-done and bring her to the Eastern Meet. rob

🎶 “On the cover of the O P G” 🎶

Agreed. I’ve used those auveco clips too. I would not use the factory style metal ones again.

Michael is not looking for an SS.... but he is looking for a 402 4-Speed...... But who isn't looking for a 402 4-Speed rob

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

What is our countdown at today? It is the same as an old gas station sign.. that's right, 76 days and a wake-up. DAYS rob

Well it looks pretty, now hopefully it'll sound pretty pretty soon. Keep up the faith!

Don’t give her a date of arrival, they may be on backorder. Yea I’m derailing the song.

77 days

Yup auevco 8400 is the number. I did same thing aftermarket moldings are thinner.

I finally got a copy of it. A friend of mine dropped it off at my office today. 🙂

Just a tip ya'll probably know but..... I ruined a set of rocker panel moldings using these spider looking clips on the right. Contacted Leo @Koniks Klassics to get a new set and he sent me these white plastic ones. Installed in minutes and they work great! Thanks Leo!!!

My 71 SS made the cover of the OPGI catalog. I took this photo a few years ago and they liked it for the cover.

I believe I had my 1st accident in a similar model 🤣

Ron, I always wanted one like that. Way to go Fire Chief!

Congratulations Aaron!

I would have to get five copies for my Moma

Congratulations nice looking Monte

So cool! Congratulations! Get plenty of copies.

Congrats Aaron!

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?

I've gone to Barrett Scottsdale for years. I can only remember a couple reserve cars that hit the block and they were very high end rare cars. I have a couple friends that have bought and sold on BaT that were satisfied with their purchase and sale. They offer both reserve and non reserve options. The cost of sale and the fact that the buyer is responsible for transport adds to the appeal. You rarely see a First Gen on BaT and this one photographs well which is their marketing strategy. Just my opinion. Peace.

Good hopefully it's the 71 Monte version not 70 chevelle like that picture

willie you are correct... no wait ,not MY purse, but years ago there was a 350 automatic on the column with buckets and NO console and it was rather curious... the guy said yep it was ordered that way and when the dealer asked the lady why no console ,she replied "because where in the heavens would me and my friends put our purses??!! true story...car was in north jersey at the time... just another small wrinkle in the incredible history of the iconic first gen Monte!

2 things, and I'm NOT trying to pick apart your car......1st loose the front SS license plate.....and I did the same thing for a minute 🤣 it takes away from it being a Monte SS not another GM SS. 2nd either remove the rad overflow tank ( it looks like hell in that clean engine bay) and the 70's didnt come with one. Or get a new replacement (for example for a Nova) and put it in there. Looks like you fab'd a bracket for it. Like I said, really nice looking from the pictures good luck wherever you choose to list it. For a conversation piece, put a black zip tie on the upper rad hose to the fan shroud, those in the know will be checking to see if its an original piece because they aren't available anymore,

Thanks. Sounds like a good option. I will check it out.

That's one heck of a garage !!!

Pretty much the same disgusting thing. 🤮

I have some of the crocs, I said I'd never wear them but my girl got me a pair as a joke but I tried them on and they really are comfortable No sandles but 3 pair of flip flops, one for home one for camper one for showers at campground. No thongs!

My solution- for now! I finally found the right size leather cover- $15 on Amazon. It is Belinous size L1 and the most important thing- it has the stitching. This makes the install so much easier because you don't have to jam the needle through the holes in the leather a few hundred times. (I'd add a link but I can't even find it again - they must be out of L1). It looks great, doesn't seem cheap and feels nice!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think BJ allows reserves. Unless it’s a multiple six figures car. Gorgeous car man. Good luck. -Bill

You see me in a man-bun, just shoot me please 🤣

Well ya just dropped a notch in my book , another vette owner 🤣 Don't forget to bring your members only jacket to Carlisle 🤣 And nothing against Vicky, but this is my favorite blue oval

Here's an unrestored 72 with 11,000 miles. I pulled off the original hood insulation. The fenders were repainted at some point so there's a slight bot of gold overspray on the driver's side.
