true blue Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Can someone tell me if the top and bottom chrome pieces are the same. I found the 3 piece bottom at The Parts Place but they don't sell the top 3 piece and looking at the picture it looks the same so why not buy two sets ??? I have the Monte Carlo and SS emblems. Thanks Bill Quote
Canuck Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I believe the centre piece is the same top and bottom but the pices at either end are different. The "hockey sticks" on the 71 SS can be pricey when found since no reproduction is made. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Quote
Monteman1971 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Aaron is 100% correct.....the top "hockey sticks" are held on with studs and not being reproduced. There have been a few guys who custom make them but they are real expensive....I think $200 plus for the pair. Quote
MC-71 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Only buy the long center pc from the parts place. The "hockey sticks" are not very good. They are made out of Alum. and don't fit very well. Buy the real deal from www.trimparts.com you will be happy. Its only money and its for your Monte. I want a set of the upper hockey sticks. I was planning on posting it tonight. I'm going to try to make a set out of the lower ones. Carl from CT. Quote
Dans '70 Z20 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Larry from Mass. (the machinist) was making the top hockey sticks for SS's. They are different than the bottom hockey sticks b/c they have spikes to hold them in place on quarter extension. I cannot remember the contact info for Larry. He has sold his 71 SS454 due to slowing business at his shop, but he does intend to get another once things are back to normal. Leo Konik was getting them from him, in fact there is a set on Sam(Bones) car. He will be able to get them for you. They are a bit pricey though, but he is the only one making them. Dan Quote
MC-71 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks. I know how to reach Larry Ray. Steve is there any chance in getting a real close up picture of the upper Hockey sticks that are on your Monte. Thanks. Carl From CT. Quote
Monteman1971 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Not my car but a good picture. Steve Quote
CrazyDavey Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 oh sure Steve...the truth finally comes out.... Quote
Guest Rick Sheridan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 hi guy's don't know if you seen that 71ss454 on ebay for the past week. it didn't make the reserve the highest bid was $8850.00. it was a nice car Quote
71ss454 * (Larry) Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 here is a picture of the ones I made 99% per gm nos parts only back is diffrent Quote
MC-71 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks Steve. I think that 71 SS is your next restore. If you get a chance could you send me a real close up picture> I would like to see the top and bottom to compare to the lower ones. Thanks. Quote
RichG Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 The lowers are aluminum and "L" shaped with screws going up through the bottom. The uppers were pot metal with no lip and the two studs cast in the back like the hood ornament. Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I have a set of Larry's pieces on my '71, EXCELLENTLY MADE!!! they are pricey, but worth every penny!!!! Quote
Jared Richey Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 here is a picture of the ones I made 99% per gm nos parts only back is diffrent What a set of these run Larry? Quote
71ss454 * (Larry) Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 i do not have any more i do believe Leo has some in stock if he does not i would be happy to make some more Quote
true blue Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Carl I don't see the end 4 pieces on the "Trim Part" site ? TB Quote
MC-71 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 TB The part number is 1646. Called 70-71 lower panel molding extension. The pair go for 58.70 in the 2006 Catalog. Those are the lower ones. The upper ones are for the SS. Only Larry makes them. Read the other posts on this topic. Quote
true blue Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 What Color Black is that between the chrome ? Thanks TB Quote
RichG Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 My 71 SS454 was semi-gloss black. I think they also call it 60% gloss. Mine was factory paint, both semi-gloss and the color- Rosewood metallic. Quote
stangeba Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I believe it also extends up into the trunk weather strip at an angle on both ends (in the corners) just like between the rocker moldings and the lower door moldings to complete the "black out" look. Bruce Quote
RichG Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Bruce is correct. I forgot to add that part. Quote
true blue Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Can someone take a pic and post showing the trunk open so i can see the Black area. Thanks TB Quote
true blue Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Hey Leo got the parts now paint and install. Thanks Again, Great Service As Usual ! Bill Quote
MC-71 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 What if the Monte is all Black. Is it still painted semi-gloss Black? Quote
