Merry Christmas y'all. I'm enjoying my early Christmas from Ridler and Nitto!

Great weekend at the Good Guys at the Texas Motor Speedway. I didn't win any trophy, but by the number of comments I got from the crowd, it's apparent that there are a whole lot of folks out there who love the First Gen Montes! The track drive at the end of the day is always a blast, too!

I got mine from OPGI and they work perfectly. I did, however, get original GM springs as recommended from other threads here. And, oh by the way, getting the springs on the hinges will be an excellent opportunity to practice swearing!

Sorry about that. They should appear below. Jeff.

I have one that's in pretty good shape. Just a coupla small cracks. I changed my whole interior to black, so I won't need it other than for some garage art. How about $75. plus shipping?

Welcome fellow Texan! Mike, I'm right down the road in Decatur so I hope to get together with the "girls" someday soon. Jeff.

Well, that explains a lot . . . My new Goodmark springs worked for about a month and then petered out. Thanks for the info! Now do you have any tips on installation? My use of a floor jack to extend the spring and then fill the spaces with washers until installed was kinda exciting to say the least!

This has been great following along with this project. I'm anxious to see how you finish and outfit the interior. Keep this going!

I have had my new Chevy Colorado Z71 for about 3 months now. Great truck! The V6 has plenty of punch, the steering is tight, the ride is firm but comfortable, and, unlike the full-size trucks, it is much easier to drive and park. I have only positive things to say about my truck, and a great value. The only downside is that it's not as much fun to drive as my Monte Carlo!

MC1of80: You da man! I had a broken cable, so I cannibalized it to make a drive cable on my drill, like you said. Moved each side a bit at a time, so it wouldn't bind and got it moved forward like a champ! If I get to NY anytime soon, I'll buy you an adult beverage! Best, Jeff.

Thanks. I'll give that a try!

Need some help guys! I went to start my bench to buckets conversion today by removing the factory power bench seat in my 70 M/C. The motor (or switch, or mechanism) hasn't worked for many years and is stuck in the most rearward position. Thus, I cannot move the seat forward to access the rear mounting bolts. Is there a way to manually move the seat forward? Or some other removal trick I can't see here? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Outstanding! Thank you guys!

First post here guys. Great info with y'all! I'm looking at doing a rear disc brake conversion, but do not want to have to weld tabs to my rear axles to mount the hard line to flex line junctions. Is there a package out there that has a bolt-on tab or some other option? Thanks for any input

Good info and pics. I, too, plan to change interior colors - from green to black.
