Welcome to the club and Happy New Year! Where does a guy find a 4 speed. I would like to find one myself. Enjoy the new Monte and post some pictures.

I wonder how that loosened up. I'm glad you figured it out. Happy New Year

I don't know why they can't just leave things alone. You finally learn how to use windows and then they change it on you. Thanks for the info

There’s the eBay invoice and the part number
Thanks Dennis, now I found what you ordered. The link is what they show if you search console burlwood. I searched the description on you invoice and the dark trim comes up. I'll order some. Thanks

My brother took his W-30 to the show this year and I think he said the entry fee was $150.00

There wasn’t really a part number it it was from Collertors Auto Supply. I just found it in there site, actually a couple years back when I did my 71. It’s the only one that I found that matched the dash.
The picture they have on the website looks like the burlwood that doesn't match the dash. I'll place an order and see what happens. Take a look at the website and see if you agree. If you get a chance. Thanks

Yes
Dennis, do you have a part number. I looked at the web site and it says it doesn't fit my 70

Looks great Dennis. Is the the burlwood on the console you mentioned in a prior post?
-
Good luck to your grandson's team, nothing better than high school football.

That would be an interesting project. I have my original but never thought about restoring it. Might be another winter project.

Steve did my original air ride compressor tank. They do great work

Are you looking for the equalizer, 1497525. The equalizer attaches the cables together. I have a link to one on ebay. Hope that helps

Great story and photos, Bruce! Grandchildren are a real blessing but they grow up too fast! Unfortunately, none of mine have shown any interest in driving my 4 speed Monte. ☹️ We're working on great grandchildren now - two already and one on the way.
Can I be your grandson, I'd like to drive your 4 speed. I just had my first grand daughter. A true blessing.

Collectors Auto Supply. It’s darker and has a great mix of brown. When I did the 71 it matched the dash plate perfectly. I’ll let you know how it matches on the 70 because I think the 70 is darker than the 71.
Please let me know, thanks

Be careful when ordering a rebuilt carb. The part number may be correct but there’s a good chance it’s a restamp loaded with cheap parts. You may be better off finding a complete “old” one and having it restored.
I agree Dennis, that's what I did. Find a good core and a good kit. I had a mechanic friend rebuild it

I bought a roll of hose on ebay, although some people price it like the have gold. Like the others say you can get it at automate stores

It should just be a “sticker “. If the original is peeling just get it off and replace it. Be careful because there are a lot of different designs and colors that these websites say are correct and they are not.
I agree about the different Burlwood. I bought these from Dynacorn and the Burlwood matches closely. The edge is a little loose so I may try a small brush and some super glue. Where are you getting the replacement Burlwood? Thanks
-
Looks great Dennis, what do use use to attach the burlwood? Mine new shift plate has the burlwood coming apart
-
Finding a numbers matching carb shouldn't be that hard. If I remember correctly there is a carb rebuild company that offers numbers correct replacements. I'll see if I can find it online.

Not my car but in my opinion, I agree with Joe, the sheet metal repair would be my choice. If it was a old corvette then I would use fiberglass. Good luck with your project whichever way you go and like Willie said please update us with plenty of pictures.

My father worked at a Chevrolet dealership in the early 70s and I can remember the lighter green mist being what seemed on every car. His 70 Impala demo was mist green.
