Andy's Auto Repair Apr 12th, 10, 8:22 PM I plan on cutting up a really clean 72 Monte frame to go under my 70 Shovel. Anyone ever done this. My 70 frame is great all over except the right side frame horn under the battery. It is pretty weak where thew sway bar attaches. I have the section I need but the Carlos frame is mint and powdercoated. Andy Dean Apr 12th, 10, 8:56 PM "Shovel" :confused: grandsport Apr 12th, 10, 9:17 PM "Shovel" :confused: Shovel= Chevelle.

I'm sure someone has one they could ship to you. Contact this guy. He'll have what you need. http://www.chevelles.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=38618 Andy's Auto Repair Apr 13th, 10, 6:40 AM Crazey Davey warned mere were those with ADD hiding here. Found you. Focus, Pandas, focus. Amongst other treasures from the pack rat I got the car from was the complete frame horn in the car. Plus four complete jack assemblies, 3 TH400 yokes, two crossmembers, enough trim to do the Whitehouse Xmas tree, six BB HD cooling rad top plated, dozens of window regulators, and a complete tach/gauge non ac dash. It took two days to clean the car out, but I did find two build sheets. Kansas car. Hey Harvey, what were you going to do with 5 brake boosters and 29 outer door handles? yeah, Harvey had issues. Andy rocks66ss Apr 13th, 10, 8:13 AM I just put my snow shovel away for the winter. Shovel = Chevelle no offense, but that sounds pretty dumb. Oh well, each to his own I guess. Rocky Dave Birdwell Apr 13th, 10, 1:40 PM Just like to some, Maro=Camaro...Vette=Corvette...Vega=junk.....:D To the OP, if you want to use the Carlos frame, I theenk you need to cut the whole front off at the joint behind the rear wheels. There may be other issues with the front cut that I am unaware of, but I do know there's 4 inches more in the wheelbase.... As mentioned above, it might be easier to sell the Monte/Grand Prix frame and get a shovel..
