I rebuilt my float a while back Hey Paul, Did rebuilding the float require a kit ??? Mine's stuck as well and wasn't sure if it could be fixed, or if it'd be easier just to replace it.. Thanks, Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Might be hard to find. I found someone that had a replacement float. I can't remember where, maybe ebay. If I figure out where I got it i'll let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Stopped by the shop. More progress made. Found body filler in the doors. Good thing I’m replacing the doors anyways. Next will be to treat the surface rust on the inner structure. Wish I could have stayed longer and helped, but the shop air was really affecting my lungs today. Need to get over this cold that I have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie, I am not doing this myself. I'll do all my mechanical work, but the bodywork I'm leaving to the professionals. A buddy of mine, who I use to work with at a Ford dealer, now owns his own shop. I trust him and his crew to do it right and not price gouge me. They let me come down and work on it as much as I can. Anything I can do saves on labor. I wish I had the skills to tackle this myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just a general statement here....... if you think the snowball effect is bad when rebuilding an old car, you should try re-habbing a house. Whew!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Been kind of quiet on the Monte Carlo front since I was at my other house monitoring this. Numerous big tree removals. IMG_1959.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 John, looking GOOOODDD!!!! Other house? Also in PA??? I took all my trees down about 2 years ago just so nothing falls on my house. Had a piece of mind for a year when a branch from a neighbors tree came down. Yup you guessed it right through the roof and ceiling. lol i was ok with it as no one got hurt. other stuff can be fixed. lol Hope you do NOT have the same luck as me, John!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71SSclone Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Willie- Glad no one was hurt. Thats scary. Our other house is in Florida. We are renovating it right now, and hope to move in by summertime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Great progress on both fronts! Keep the pics coming! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looks great, both I mean. My mom has one of them screened in porches on her house in Florida too that's where I spend most of my time when I was there. Of course I didn't go down in the summer.
