  2. Trying to determine what I'll need to convert from the standard Monte steering wheel to the 4-spoke sport wheel (NK4)? Found a really nice wheel without any parts.
  3. Hi Dale, search for a product called PC7, it is a 2 part compound and works great. I've restored 2 wheels with this product. Lots of sanding and detail work, but you'll love the result!
  4. Most auto parts stores carry the removal tool for only a few bucks...
  5. Question for the experts, will a factory sport steering wheel from a 79 camaro fit on my 71 Monte?
  6. This isn't exactly stock but it was cheap & effective. O'Reileys Auto Parts has these universal tanks for about $8 and a piece of aluminum 1/2" stock from Home Depot for $3 or $4
  7. Michael, I just search on Craig's in Minneapolis at found these from a 72 Monte https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/pts/d/70-to-72-monte-carlo-parts/6656034395.html
  8. Yes Terry, there is chrome on that front edge of the slats. I've refurbished 2 of them and its a bit of work since we're dealing with pot metal. I also hand painted the vertical bars satin black after spraying everything else the stock silver. A simple trick to cover the chrome edge is to use a crayon on the chrome edge, rubbing a good layer of the waxy coating only on the chrome edge. After the paint is dry, you can then rub off the crayon wax. I've used a wooden tongue depressor to rub off the crayon as it won't scratch the chrome. Good Luck!
  9. Hey Vince, here's a few photos in the stock configuration. Good Luck!
  10. Thanks for the clarification Chris. I did not realize that the Shift works kit was different than the OEM version. I'don't replace the PCB as previously mentioned, good luck!
  11. Chris, when converting to gauges the PCB must be changed out as with several changes to the main cable connection. I've done 2 of these upgrades and even changed the location of gauges, modifications to the PCB & connector are a must. Good luck!
  12. What year is your Monte? Most 70 Montes had 6 bumpers, 71&72'so only received 4.....
