  1. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what this part is called so I can see if I can find one to purchase. This is the door jamb at the top where the rear window is at. Any wisdom for me? BTW, the part (seal?) is missing from both sides. Thanks!!

    UPDATE: Maiden voyage today. Took all summer to get the suspension/brake upgrades installed. Oh, and a 12-bolt with posi. Got the stance right where I want it. Wheels and tires are big and do not rub at all. Classic Torq Thrust II 18x8 & 20x10. 235/40R18 Nitto in front and 275/35R20 Nitto In the rear.
  3. If you are still looking, I have one. The cracks that I point out are surface only, this is quite rigid. I was going to have it covered with leather but went a different route. I am in Washington State. You pay for shipping and it is yours.
  4. Nice car and great stance!
  5. Wow, that is for sure! I bought it though. Thanks to everyone!
  6. Fixed, my bad. Should have used the preview feature. 😀
  7. Hello, I need the passenger side molding on the lower front fender (that has the cutout for the marker light. It is available as part of an entire 10 piece set, but the rest of my molding is good so incurring that cost seems silly if I can find the part. I can recondition this piece but that is a pain (plus, I'm not great at it). Any leads are appreciated! Joe

    The roof and the doors were the only original sheet metal left from 1970. I did NOT do this work, I had a friend doing it. My contribution was mostly parts runner and labor! All of the assembly (except headliner and windshield) was 100% me.

    I will keep posting as I go. The body and paint are a solid 8.5 so my starting point is fantastic. First thing up is suspension, brakes wheels/tires, rear end, and stance. Once those parts are from this century this is a car that I will feel comfortable driving anywhere. The interior will be the follow-on work; the bucket seats are due for new upholstery but I can live with them as they are. The engine and trans are great but when the time comes I will address that too (unsure of BBC or LS, or what).

    Hello, I just purchased my first Monte last week. Most recent project was a 1970 Camaro (pictures below). It took five years, a lot of metal work, finding parts (the '70 is a one year car for many parts). The Monte is a MUCH better starting point. Looking forward to learning from here like I was able to from NastyZ28.com. I live in NW Washington after growing up in Alaska. Thanks in advance!
