AMK will have all that stuff.
Thank you Joe! I went through my AMK kit and didn't see those items. It seems that I must have lost one item and ended up needing a few others that were not included in my kit.

Hey guys I'm not having any luck finding the J nuts and screws for the side markers. Also I can't seem to locate the mounting hardware for the tail lamp lenses and bezels. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice!
-
Got it. Thanks for the info!
-
Thanks for posting that picture. It looks like I'm missing the adjustable bump stop thing. Do you know what lands on the ground spot?

Thank you for this question! As part of my restoration I am currently sanding mine down to repaint and noticed that it doesn't have a return spring on the unit itself. I was getting ready to order a new one but wanted to check the forum first. You guys just saved me $100. 😅

Sorry I haven't been around with my work schedule and recent vacation I've been tied up. Here are the videos of my latest progress. I do have some video's before these. I'm learning by my mistakes! l

Wow I just saw your comments. Thank you gentlemen for pointing that out I just tried sticking my lenses in the openings and they seem to fit okay. 😅

A wire wheel on a 4 ½" hand grinder will clean it up. If I had it, I'd do that and whatever else needed to clean up the backside and paint it silver. Good to go.

Turns out that the bumper in the picture was just a sample picture. The one I bought was nicer in the back. I'll be showing it on my next YouTube channel episode. 😎

Sorry guys. I am looking to potentially purchase this rechromed bumper for $400. It's from a shop that closed down 5 years ago. They are selling all of their stock on hand. This is their last Monte Carlo bumper. The first picture is of the back of the bumper and the second is the front. The lady I spoke with who is selling everything on behalf of the old shop owner told me that what I'm seeing is residue from the process and can be scuffed off. I'd like some opinions on what you all think.
P.S. I still have my original bumper but it has a minor ding in it also my back bumper has a dent and tear in it too. I've heard so many bad stories about aftermarket bumpers that I thought that it would be better to stick with the original.

The lady told me that this is residue from the chroming process and can be scuffed off.. The front looks really nice. What are your thoughts?
-
Thank you for the clarification gentlemen! I took them off. lol
-
Hey guys I bought this and just realized that I haven't seen it on any Monte's. I have seen NOS pieces on eBay. Can you please elaborate?
-
Unfortunately I don't have any fabric to show since my seats are currently vinyl.
-
Does anybody reproduce the original seat fabric? My car originally came with black cloth seats and I'd like to reupholster them same as the original.
-
Did you try The Parts Place?
-
I am going to try to make the show. I'll be car-less but it'll nice to meet everybody.

Well I just ordered a few parts from them. Once my order was processed I was notified that two pieces were on back order...

Looking good Ron! Nice job with the bracket. It must be nerve racking working around that nice new paint. I’m sure it will get a little easier with time.
You hit the nail on the head! I don't even want to get near it. 🤣

Thank you gentlemen. It's been a bit confusing to say the least.
