  1. One last tidbit on the 73-77s. To my eye, the woodgrain on the IP of the Montes always looked richer/darker with a more interesting pattern vs. the plain, lighter woodgrain on the Chevelles. At least this seems to be true of the early Montes, this car looks just like my Caminos and wagon woodgrain wise.
  2. No I placed an ad that they removed. Then they wanted me to go to their forums to ask why it might have happened. So I try that, but they want me to log-in. OK fine, I try that. They proceed to tell me that my log-in is already taken - well no $h! sherlock, it's mine ! I was left to assume that they want you to pick a different log-in for the forums. At that point , I said screw this. What a waste of effort.
  3. Chevelles: standard dash did have rectangular openings, the optional "guage" dash had the same round openings as an M/C 1st gen Montes got the woodgrain dash, the Chevelles did not (plain black). If you peel the woodgrain from a Monte dash, it is a Chevelle panel underneath.
  4. What a bunch of BS! They "flag" and remove a listing and then you are supposed to play detective to find out why? BS Tried 'em once, that's more than enough. What jackass came up with that system?
  5. I do my best, but have several factors that make it tough. 1. I bought a big lot of tools from an old shop and many of them were beyond filthy, I've been slowly getting them into shape ever since. 2. My tools end up going out on landscape jobs all the time. 3. The "help" uses them. Still the barn stays cleaner than the house.
  6. Sure looks that way. They just used the Chevelle version.
  7. Nobody's perfect, but I do make the effort. I hate dirty tools.
  8. Another 76 with a colored instrument panel: http://www.montecarloclub.com/Monthly%20Fe...ront%20Left.jpg Maybe a quirk of the later years of this bodystyle? GM decided one style would be fine for both Chevelle and M/C?
  9. The steering wheel is M/C, but the rest looks Chevelle to me.
  10. Those a/c vents are chrome too - should be black in an M/C panel. And the woodgraining looks like the Chevelle version too.
  11. Actually, it should be. But, that green is a factory color - maybe out of a Chevelle? Or an assembly line error? Something odd there.
  12. I just saw a white Choo Choo today with IROC wheels. Looked pretty clean and might be for sale.
  13. I don't know Z, that looks like a factory dash color to me. The exterior makes it worth the price, or close to it.
  14. :rotflmao:
  15. Z is the sigmaster.
  16. The more the merrier, DF. As of right now, it would have to be a chop, considering the real thing hasn't broken cover yet.
  17. Two important engines have been missed here so far. The very first Chevy smallblock: the 1955/56 265 and The 1970 450 HP LS6 454 (a detuned LS6 was available in the '71 Vette)
  18. Sweet car! In fine shape too, and the color makes me want it bad.
  19. You and me both!
  20. I like the sound of that!
  21. Could be... Then Z might claim the right at this point.
  22. :AH-HA_wink:
  23. Thanks YJ
  24. Errr, YJ check for typos.
