I have a Desert Sand 1970 Monte sitting in front of one of my garage doors. Had it for years. Was going to be my second restore but never got to it. Has Gold interior. Carl
-
1970 had the square steel clips and 1971-72 use the round plastic type. Carl

Anyone have 17" Rally Wheels on their Monte. Where did you buy them and do you have the 17" trim rings on them?? Carl
-
I have that NK-2 wheel in storage> Nice condition but real sticky in your hand. I have used GOOP SOAP in the past to unstick it. Does do the trick but does not last real long. Any other ways to get a permanent fix? Carl
-
I didn't receive mine yet. I will up date when I do. Question to Mike. When you tested the float was it with you wipers running. Mine I remember only worked when the wipers were on. Carl

Nice tribute to your uncle. And also to you for finding that gorgeous Monte and bringing it home. Carl

Rear Tail light Bezel paint crossbar color
MC-71 replied to 72-CLASSIC_RIDE's topic in Restorers - Archive
Doug. Check down on this Restores page and you will find this topic "Red Paint On 71-72 Tail Light Bezels" The correct paint is Dupli-Color Red Metalcast. It comes in a spray can and it's transparent. Vaughn gave me a heads up about it. I'm sure you will be pleased. Carl -
All GM bottles have a center punch mark on them and I believe it is a 3/4" hole. Don't know if repop ones have it. Yes that tube does come out but be real careful. Spray it with WD 40 and a slight pry with a plastic 2017 pry bar. Don't use a screw driver. I can't remember the answer of 3 and 4. Carl

Thanks Mike. PM sent. Carl Hanson
-
Those don't look right. Are you sure they came out of your Monte?
-
Sorry. I forgot the dash pad covers the rivets. You would need to slide the cover towards you. The rivets look like a sun flower. If they are regular pop rivets that will tell you that it was removed at one time and replaced. Or it was from an other monte. Carl
-
Your trim tag rivets look okay. Post a picture of your Vin Tag under the windshield. Those rivets are the ones I would be concerned with. Carl
-
Could just be the ends of your cross member that hold your tranny in. The rubbers can be weathered or the tranny guy didn't reinstall them. Carl
-
Hey Rock. What do the rivets look like holding your Vin Tag? Can you post a picture? Carl
-
I'm still in. mc7187@sbcglobal.net Carl
-
Mike I also want one. Can you email the info? mc7187@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Carl Hanson
-
I think they are welded.
-
Excellent work Darren. Sorry to hear about your medical problems. Hoping everything works out for you. Carl
-
Any luck yet on a replacement? I know a 87 Monte with A/C fits in the A/C box round hole. I'm not sure on the depth yet. I will in a couple of days. Carl
-
No they don't make the AC one. Would be a good item to repro. Maybe the Parts Place could do that. There are a lot of A bodies that could use one.
-
Good job Vaughn. You have it right. I never mentioned that the Red is transparent. I will pick that up. One more question. Are the bars painted on 3 sides or just the top. I think 3 sides. Thanks to everyone that helped in this. Did you spray or brush it?
-
I don't really think that's a lot of work. I might try finger nail polish.
-
Does anyone know the color red that GM used to paint the horizontal bars on the 71-72 tail light bezels?
-
No it is not reproduce. Try a search on ebay
-
That is the correct number. the 3 pcs are all made with Aluminum.
