[Seat Covers]

Your rear seat foam is in great shape but the stuff they sell now is nothing like it.Mine was really stained from leaking roof.And the seat back looked like it just had cotton have you removed the back yet.My back had some rust on the bottom of the top springs I'll have to repair

[Seat Covers]

When I got mine from CARS they ask if the org had buttons on bottom and it did so they put the buttons back.But the new solid foam they sell now is nowhere like the org.This crap now is junk.You have no slot to hog ring the center buttons on bottom to so I guess you would cut a slot in the new foam.That is what I'm dealing with now.

[halo roof trim]

Repainted mine didn't like it so polished it back off and last week after new top was put on put polished ones on.Ordered some clips they sent wrong ones again.

[halo roof trim]

I used metal polish and 0000 steel wool and they came out fine but if you need the clips they really don sel the right ones you need the center lock one ran into that last week on mine after putting the vinyl top on

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

What kind of 55 hardtop parts are you looking for

[lead/lead free body solder kit?]

I use the lead free from Eastwood and it works fine.Used it on my 40 Ford convertible and on the 71 Monte after I did a 1/4 panel replace

[Fuel drains from carb after shutdown?]

It is a problem with this new gas as most of mine do sit from time to time and you have to spin it over and over.My 40 Ford conv I have 2 97"s and they dry up after a couple weeks.I know because I rejeted them and the bowl were dry when I took them off.So the corn gas does evaporate

[OPGI Vinyl Top]

I bought mine from Cars Inc along with correct cloth interior with headline also

[clips on roof rail]

Thanks I"ll try it and the shrink wrap sounds good too

[clips on roof rail]

Those clips on the roof rail that o against the door glass what is covering them mine seem to be bare metal and I think that they have some sort of rubber coating.Could you use that coating that goes on handles of pliers called tooldip or something like that.I know OPGI sells them now for 20 something dollars but what else could you use Thanks

[vinyl top]

Thanks that is what I thought just wanted to be sure.A little more paint won't break the bank after all else is spent on this money pit.But I bought it new in 71 so I guess I've got my moneys worth so I'll drive it a few more years

[vinyl top]

Is it best to put color on top before install or just seal and leave primer and do you put clear on with color.Thanks

[So after the cake was cut....]

The weatherstrip om the right I bought a set fro SS396 for a Chevelle but the Chevelle has 2 clips and the MC has 3 but the outer ones are the real problem.Yes someone needs to repop but they say not enough demand

[So after the cake was cut....]

What are you doing for the seals that the quarter window goes to on the sail panel and the inside don't see it in pics.Thanks I have that problem soon

[A/C to R134]

to get it working right you need the condensor to be larger to use 134a.The org compressor will not work good also with 134a.I repalced everything on mine from Classic Auto air for use with 134a

[Front End]

Those patch panel do not have the correct contour and proper radius on then edge.Tried them and a lot of work to look right

[Putting Vinly Top back on]

I made new studs out of nails I machined and rewelded to NOS 1/4 panel and panel back of rear glass between trunk so it looks org.I know nobody will see it but I think screws will loose at sometime.I guess i had a lot of spare time on my hands during the winter to do it

[700R4 swap without shortening the driveshaft?]

to shorten a driveshaft is no problem.as for crossmember I had to redrill the 2 back holes on frame but frt 2 worked when I put 700 in my 71

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Thanks I'll keep going with 400 as I'm doing the 1/4 panels now.To post pics you have to use a photobucket or something like that

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

CKZ02 what is the final grit paper you are block sanding with to put on color.Used to you could get away with 320 but this BC/CC now I don't know.I'm old school lacquer.Thanks

[Fuse Box Question]

I think that wire goes to the relay for A/C that in on the inside of firewall behind the glove box that is the wire I wish I knew exactly where it goes off the fuse panel.Mine is a 71 with air

[Quarter to rocker panel?]

It is spot welded before 1/4 window goes in.Had to snake arm and mig head down opening for window to get it tacked in

[Door Latch Drivers Side issue Question .]

weld up the wear and grind it down and go with it it will work

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Mike57 nice Metro in background

[Air Conditioning]

your org compressor doesn't like 134a also you have to change condensor to run 134a for best results the org cond is to small flow to get the cooling you want
