  1. This is the company I got mine from. They come bagged for use in conjunction with the assembly manual. The guy doing my car said it was pretty handy. East Coast Bolts Note: At time of this post their site was down for maintenance.
  2. Here's the one I saw on Ebay the other day. $600.00 local pickup in Springfield, PA. It's rough, but it's there. Ebay Quarter Panel
  3. Wow Aaron, that's a really sharp Monte! That purple looks very nice!
  4. From Ebay: NOS GM Chevelle/Monte Carlo Kickdown Cable Not necessarily cheap, but it is new GM.
  5. Hi Mike, I went with P255/60R/15 all around. This is the size the guy doing my car is running on his Monte. I ordered them from here Tire Buyer.com . They had free shipping when I ordered mine. Great customer service too. UPS lost one and they immediately sent another.
  6. My Monte's not back on the road yet, but I went with the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. I asked for opinions here as well and also read a lot of comments via Google searching. Then I went to Tire Rack, Tire Rack, and did comparisons as well as read the customer reviews. When I bought mine the choice was pretty much BFG T/As, Goodyear Eagle GT IIs, or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Based on the ratings and reviews I went with the Firestones, white letter in. They ranked the best of the three overall.
  7. Thanks for the suggestions everybody! A new plan has been formulated. I bought a pair of mirrors from about a '78 Cutlass and my body guy is going to modify them to fit. Will post pics when he gets them done. Going to paint in the not so distant future!
  8. Revisiting the sport mirrors... I ordered mine from The Parts Place at the end of December. I still haven't received them and they still can't give a date when they will be available so I gave up and canceled my order . The last thing I wanted was to forget about the order and then have a $400 pair of mirrors show up out of the blue a year from now. I have decided to go with the chrome remote driver's mirror with the matching passenger mirror. They seem to be a little easier to come by and I hope to be ordering them soon.
  9. If you don't post pics you still have deniability. Remember, no pics, it didn't happen.
  10. Great reading. Makes me worry about when I get my Monte back on the road.
  11. Thanks Dave, I know Mike really enjoys it. It's pretty amazing considering what it started out as. Gordie does some pretty amazing stuff.
  12. By the way, here are pics of the mirrors I got from www.bulletmirror.com I would guess they are Cutlass mirrors? They stated they were for 70-72 Chevelles and Monte Carlos. They tried correcting the angle with the gasket and failed miserably. Returned them for a refund.
  13. Originally Posted By: 72-classicride Hey Dennis, When you get them installed, let us all know (especially) the passenger side fit and how functional it is for viewing. Maybe even a pic to see how they look? Maybe a few more will jump with your critique. Doug Will do guys. I ordered my stuff 12/28/10 and haven't received any further information on when they will be shipping. Dennis
  14. Bought online from www.bulletmirror.com Was listed as fitting 70-72 Chevelles and Monte Carlos. Included a thick gasket to correct the angle. Didn't work. Returned for refund.
  15. Ordered online from www.bulletmirror.com They said they were correct for 70-72 Chevelles and Monte Carlos. They were trying the old correct the angle with the gasket trick. Failed miserably. Returned for refund.
  16. Thanks Mike. They look great, but I am still wanting both sides. I jumped off the cliff this week and ordered mine from The Parts Place. Hopefully they sit right and are of good quality.
  17. Ahhhh, but can this one resist "The Force"?
  18. Thanks Mike! Of course the kicker is I want both sides. And The Parts Place knows exactly how to get ya where it hurts. They only sell them as a set. One would think they would sell the right one seperately, even if it was for a couple of hundred bucks. They would surely move them to the folks with the driver side only mirror.
  19. Yikes, ya might want to consider having that thing blessed before you go driving.
  20. Caught this one on the random images. That is an awsome picture! A great piece of the car's history. Definitely beats any sales brochure you could buy! Nothing better than a cool grandma.
  21. Thanks Guys! I'll probably order mine this week. Got an email coupon from The Parts Place for 10% off. Of course it probably doesn't apply to the mirrors.
  22. I am looking into the Parts Place mirrors as well. I am probably going to order a set within the next month. Beware those ones you saw on Ebay. Ebay Sport Mirrors I think it is the same place I had bought a pair from before. Bullet Mirror.com I'm guessing they were Cutlass or something else. They had the really thick gasket trying to correct the angle. Didn't work, looked terrible, sent them back.
  23. Would love to hear about the wood piece quality. Mine had been pried off and pop riveted along the bottom to hold it back on.
