If you throw like I do, then there’s no chance. If you see me first mine is blue. Lol.
-
NO Well maybe.
-
I’m not that lonely. I do miss having a dog though.

Yep I see it. I didn’t notice it before until I blew up the picture. You have to remove the set screw as said before pulling the panel. I’m sure you can replace it but finding it might be a problem without buying a complete mirror. Good thing, if your mirror is good you can get a junk mirror somewhere and steal the knob off of it.

I’m so lonely. It’s only been a couple of hours since I took my car to get the glass installed.

Do you all have a problem putting a dual post battery in your car???? I know it’s not original but is it acceptable??? There is a reason I need to know this. Thanks
-
I have no idea how many of these Carl has but due to the number of requests we all may have to drop our requests to one. Lol.

My books are all showing either a top post or side post. I’m guessing it’s an early or late thing. Does anyone have a 70 with a side post battery? I can do this with a dual post but that would effect 71-72. Secondary question. Would you Monte owners have a problem with having a dual post battery in your car? I personally like them on side post car for testing and jumping purposes.

What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?
Dtret replied to Canuck's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Debating. But you may pass me on 70. I’ll be watching. Lol. -
It doesn’t matter. Retired or not. You’ll just have to get a little more ingenious on fabricating parts ( with out the “shop”). There is no rush. But at least when you’re sitting in the hot tub you can just pretend you’re making a plan of action.

Uh-uh. The cars a 71. Lol.
-
Great news on the transmission and add ons. Should be ready to drive a week or two after they get there. Lol. Dynamat look great. It’s screwing with my eyes though. 🤪
-
Not at this time. But if they are I will let you know.
-
That’s a pretty rare option. Nice.
-
I’m good for a couple. Thanks
-
I may see you on the road. Toss it out the window when you go past me and I’ll catch it. I’m not joking.

Looks good. I was thinking the same thing for the trip. Still debating driving or trailering. -
The mirror piece will come off with the door panel. That is the remote mirror knob holder. As said the mirror control knob is held in with a set screw but it look like your set screw came loose and the knob and cable are inside the door. Or the mirror was replaced with a non remote mirror. Let hope your cable just slid into the door.

This is the only picture I have. Sorry. Do these look correct for our cars. The tanks look correct but I’m questioning the head. Thanks. He thinks that they are off a 71 Grand Prix.
-
Definitely beyond my skill ( and patience) level. Looks great 👍
-
Just holler if you need anything. I just did my 71. 1148 pictures. Lol.
-
That’s pretty cool. 👍

It is actually a fire mat also. It is held in with plastic or real thin metal clips. If your engine was to start on fire the clips are designed to melt and drop the pad on the engine to smother the fire.

Welcome and good luck in the search. Mine is also a 71 so it’s out. -
I ran into this on mine. I took a total of 1148 pictures from the day I bought it to now. It helped me to go back and look at the progress. And actually a lot of the little things were what did it. Because they are usually the biggest pain and the most time consuming. Don’t feel bad because I’d bet my last dollar it is/has happened to everyone. Just my thoughts.
