We've done it before. A member locked his keys in the trunk shortly after arriving to the hotel for the Western Meet. We had to pull the back seat out and work at popping that trunk lid.
I usually over pack all sorts of tools when loading up the trailer for the meets.
I'll put the battery powered Sawzall and angle grinder & cutoff wheels on the list for this year, just in case..😁.

I had new PUI door panels on the car when I first got it (prior owner put them on). I needed rears anyways, so had Legendary do all of them. Glad I did, the PUI quality was about 50% of Legendary.

No individual interior door panels listed for 71 on legendary
…
They did mine, front & rears.
Call them up.
Here is a Monte specific catalog too.
That's my interior on the cover of that catalog actually.
Page D11 has door panels.

But officer, I was just doing a safety check to make sure I have the correct tire pressure.
Cleaning the old rubber off the tires so it's not so slippery/dangerous.

As Dennis said, for the tire sizes you have Dave, at all 4 corners, I'd probably run 32 psi as well.
My other cars that have bigger/wider tires in the back, I'll usually run those around 24-26. That's based on doing a couple burnouts to see if the contact patch is even.

I got a set from the Parts Place, I think. I'll look and see if I can find a part number. They fit fine on my car.
EDIT:
This is from my original invoice 8.17.2019:
1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SAIL PANEL EMBLEM (MONTE CARLO) -
EM1679M $19.00 2 $38.00 and here is a current link to their site:

Oh, I suppose it makes more sense if I include what Dave had available, to show what we were working with. Maybe what I posted above would make more sense then.

That's just pretty much a RPO code list Dan.
Dave was looking to find out what the individual boxes meant, though the last post of the forum link does explain those in some detail.
The decoder disc I bought explains what some of those codes are, and a lot of other good stuff as well. Keep in mind, it says 1970 SS Chevelle only, but some things did cross over on Dave's sheet. The decoder breaks it down between the different plants too.
I emailed the creator of the disc last night because it said there was an update to the one I had. He responded quickly and said it was just a couple of things that really didn't matter. I mentioned we're mainly Monte people here, etc. He did actually send me an Excel spread sheet of some Monte build sheet data he had, but for the most part it doesn't seem that comprehensive, just stuff he transcribed from sheets he had collected, and put in one place. It does cover 70-72, and SS & Customs though, but as said, I didn't see near as much detail as what's posted below. I still need to scrutinize it a bit more though. Pretty generous of him to send it to me though, that's customer service at its finest.
Here's a couple screen shots.

Update: Dave & I talked on the phone and were able to decode as much as possible, with what was available, and not Chevelle specific.

I bought the $50 disc from one of the guys who is listed on those sites. It is specific to the 70 SS Chevelle, but there is still a LOT of good info there. I'll give you a call Dave to see if I can help.

What does it say in the lower part of the sheet, where the N33 was, anything about steering wheel?
The build sheet on my old Custom shows N33 and NK4 listed below, but in the STRG. WHL. box up above it says '125', which means nothing to me.
Granted, two different plants, different years, etc, but I wouldn't get hung up on what the upper boxes say, at least at this point.
Lot of info about GM wheels here too:
-
In the GM Heritage Package info, they call the N33 a 'Comfortilt' wheel, the other one was NK1-Cushioned Rim Steering Wheel

Terrible news...

Yup! The factory emblem is 2" wide. Your mod looks factory- so cool.
Thank you!
I initially did it with the horn cap for the NK4 wheel. I had planned to further modify that one by making a mold of the insert, use clear acrylic and embed the hat pin, etc., but that never happened.

I remember when I placed my very first post, another member, '714024Speed' (Kevin Ferrante) said this about the dark saddle interior, made me laugh at the time:
The dark saddle interior grows on you, when I first got my 72 I was not in love with the color, but now I'm in like with it. lol

THAT is awesome! Now I'm wondering if I could use the factory insert emblem to do that. Gorgeous interior! (Love the factory non-AC heater controls! ;))
Factory Monte insert would be way too big. The hat pin is only about an inch wide.
Thanks on the interior, Legendary did the upholstery, I put the Dakota Digital dash in, Custom Autosound 740 radio, & new carpets, etc. The HVAC control is the original GM A/C panel though.

where did you find the Monte horn cap? I've been looking for one for a while.
I made it.
Milled off the Chevy emblem, then modified a Monte hat pin to go in its place.

I put the black rimmed wheel in mine and modified the horn button with a "Monte' hat pin. I'm pretty happy with that wheel over the 4 spoke NK4 wheel I had in there.
