Friday, I went to the English town Swap Meet(NJ) and grabbed the rear swaybar kit from Ground Up Restoration. They had it for 299. There was one left that was sitting on the ground with a couple scratches on the boxed c arms gave them to me for 275. cash. yesterday grabbed some new shocks(Monroe) and some Moog rear coils. I got done a little while ago. I love the look of the rear with that kit! Also the coils I replaced were at least 20 years old maybe more. Will I get a little lift out of the new ones? Now I just need the rims back from powder coating. I wanted to post pics but don't know were to upload them for this post.

I heard prices from 45 to 70. chose this company as they were close. #you did good

Has anyone purchased this kit from the parts place? Seems like a good price?

It was $65. each for a 15x7 rim. That included blasting, degreasing and coating the entire rim. Here is the link: http://boneheadperformance.com/powder-coating/

Well, I dropped the 5 wheels off yesterday to be powder coated. Scott, I went with something very close to yours it was called Bengal silver. It is close to the argent and has a little flake in it. There is a two week turn around now just and wait. Mark, they shoot all the rim inside and out. It cost 65. per wheel and that included blasting, degreasing and coating ( for a 15x7) thanks for the input!

Removed the wheels and sent them off to be powder coated. Included the spare.

What is the diameter of the rear sway bar, 7/8?

Beautiful car with great memories.

What an AMAZING build, and your 71 is gorgeous!!!!

looks great!

I want to repaint the rally's on the Monte. Would I be better of with a powder coat than paint. Would they're be any issue with the trim rings and caps? Also what color would the paint be for a stock look. Thanks Don

That car is Sweet! Love the pics of the three of them.

Beautiful car, enjoy!

The bronze one(big time) is sweet! No doubt there is a lot of money invested in them.

Thanks, been wanting to see it.

Automotive or craftstore?

I think it twists off.

Again like others have said key in the lock and then just mess with it. When I did the dash I took it off but just kept mess'n with it till I got it.Like you said it got frusterating. When it spins does something need to line up to pull lock out? Can't remember.

Iremember that post and thinking,what a beautiful picture! Rest in peace, Robyn

On the drivers side were the monte carlo emblem the chrome trim is poping off. When i pop it back it stays for a second and then comes off. How could I fix this? Would a dab ob caulk or somthing due the job or should I remove it and replace?

Hi Mike, If you decide to let it go please let me know. I live in yardley pa. and would love to see it. Thanks, Don

Thanks for the offer and the advice! I think I will continue looking through EBay and hopefully find a deal. Don
