Jim Leonardis Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Friends, I have a 1970 Monte Carlo that needs to have some work on the roof prior to AM Trimmers putting new HALO vinyl top back on. I have run into a brick wall with seeking body shops. Wondering if anyone in club has any connections? Thank You in advance for any assistance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Beautiful Monte! Speaking from experience, this is where the snowball starts. My brother and I went to do the same thing to a 71 Chevelle I had years ago. The roof, one door and the trunk lid were the only original pieces of sheet metal left. The 71 402 4 speed we are restoring will have even less. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is (thankfully) the first and only ‘Starsky & Hutch’d’ Chevelle I’ve ever seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71SSclone Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I am going through the same thing. Thought I could get away with just repairing the metal underneath the vinyl top, snowballed into a complete body restoration. Lots of pictures under my rebuild thread. Good luck, you have a beautiful Monte! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were built in 71 and 72 0nly. Factory stripes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 A buddy of mine had one, orange with black stripes. It was a basic car, I think it had a rubber floor mat instead of carpeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I still think it’s ugly. Not quite as ugly as Dennis’s feet that find their way into pictures he posts, but ugly nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you found a place to get you fixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about time you show your print here again, been a while. Add to your post, what’s going on with you and the Monte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body work is at around 90% complete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to do with size limitations. Great to see that your still plugging away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Bad454 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 So does anybody know if that is a factory color? If so I'm considering painting my Monte that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
