It’s about time you show your print here again, been a while. Add to your post, what’s going on with you and the Monte.
🤣 Well I got sick of trying to post progress pics. The site wasn't working for me at that time. I'll give it another try. The body work is at around 90% complete.

Friends,
I have a 1970 Monte Carlo that needs to have some work on the roof prior to AM Trimmers putting new HALO vinyl top back on. I have run into a brick wall with seeking body shops. Wondering if anyone in club has any connections?
Thank You in advance for any assistance.
What color is your car? It looks really nice.
P.S. I hope you found a place to get you fixed up.

Will do. Thanks Dennis!

Good stuff gentlemen!

Looking for a drivers side fender for my 71SS. Preferably in California.

I had these guys rebuild and convert my original to a quick ratio. It turned out nice. http://www.powersteering.com

Post the cost when you find out. I'm curious to see what they charge these days.

Great work!

I really wanted to try them but didn't want to take the chance and was looking for headers that tuck up close to the undercarriage. So I ended up going with American Racing Headers and their header back system. Here's a link to my YouTube channel talking about them.

I recently bought two 71 SS end caps with the trim. I can lend you the trim if you promise to return them. The chrome is in bad shape but if you need them to test fit on your car I think they may work. Let me know if you can't find anything closer.
I really appreciate the offer Kevin. I am just searching at this point and seeing what comes up.

Looks like I will be needing a drivers side fender... Has anybody tried OPG's fenders? Pro's/cons?
-
Welcome Jay! Sweet ride. Lets see under the hood.
P.S. Thank you for your service. 😎

This is my passenger side. At this point it doesn't need to be perfect as I only need it for test fitting at the body shop.

Does anybody have a driver side hockey stick that they are willing to part with?
-
Has anybody bought a new hood from OPG? If so how did it fit?

I polished all my original trim. I used a buffing / polishing wheel and different polishing compounds (Green / White) I also had excellent success with NEVR-DULL!
A word of caution: Be careful with amount of pressure on some metal pieces. they can warp from the heat of the buffing wheel! I screwed up the top right trim piece from my rear window. It now has a WOW! I Didn't say WOW...I said 😣 #%*!!!

Thank you Jeff! I was going through my trim again today and am going to be purchasing the polishing materials soon.

Me too. I'll be in the market soon.
