I'm looking for a headliner kit for my 71 Monte. What is the correct pattern for a 71, or were they all the same between 70-72? I see that OPGI has a kit, but it only has 1 review and they said it didn't fit very good. Any other kits out there, or are all aftermarket kits made in the same place and just shipped in different boxes?

Here is the correct diagram

This might help. Edit- No. this will not help. Its for a full size Chevy. The correct one is below

Mine is being painted in pieces, because of the extensive bodywork it needed, but I believe they are going to paint the body with the trunk lid installed. The front clip is in pieces, so they will paint each piece separate.
I would ask your bodyshop what they recommend.

I would start at the blower motor resistor, make sure the plug and resistors are not melted.

Looks really great John, keep up the great work!!!
As long as I keep writing checks, the great work will continue. There is no way that I could do this myself. Lol
I do need to search out some parts. GM wheel arch moldings, headliner kit, lower door molding clips, etc

One thing they noticed is that the body line is a little more crisp on the drivers side AMD 1/4 panel compared to the NOS passenger side 1/4 panel. They said they can sharpen up the body line on the NOS 1/4 panel to match the AMD 1/4 panel. Glad it was noticed now before paint

Stopped in today to see the progress. Roof skin in welded on, and they are working on getting it ready for paint. Just dropped all the trim so it can be fitted before painting

It's been quiet in here, but work is getting done. Got an update yesterday, 1/4's are welded, roof skin going on Monday, 1/4's, doors, rockers, and under the trunk pan are all ready for final primer and paint. He is looking at getting it all painted in the early fall. Great news!!! Pics to follow

Just checked their website. Sold out of the Chevelle mirrors.

Where did the sport mirrors come from? Was it a Monte Carlo option, or was it a different application? I would love to put a pair of mirrors on my 71.

Sorry for your loss, Darlene. Prayers to you and your family.

Not much to report, but progress is still being made. Finishing up some cowl rust repair, and rust repair underneath the trunk lid.
Looking at maybe spraying the trunk with a lizard skin type of material. The pic is of the interior of a 67 C10 that they just did. I think it looks good, and it can be painted to match the trunk splatter paint the factory used.

Seat brackets
in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Posted
Does anyone have pictures of the bucket seat brackets and where they are welded to the floor pan? Bonus points if you have pics of the driver's power bucket seat brackets. We were trying to figure out the location today. and things were not too precise.
