not sure what body part you are needing but the parts are not as easily obtained as chevelle parts are! here are a few links.
http://www.opgi.com/indexhome.asp
http://www.harmons.com/
http://www.carsinc.com/
http://www.koniksklassiks.com/
http://www.paddockparts.com/Paddock/assets/html/homepage.asp?URLCheck=1
Dont know if you were aware of these or not but they might help you out, I was impressed with Konicks Klassics for body parts they have a variety of used stuf as well as used refurbished body panels!!! Happy Hunting

Ok so i figured out exactly what i need
Windsheild rear window weather stripping floorpan for patches rear quarters window gutter just behind backseat window seats front and back or leather covers carpet mats hood ornament trunklid vinyl top rear bumper trim front left fender driver side hingles front inner wheel wells
and parts i would like because i am changing the color scheme headliner and dash wich im pretty sure i could dye
apart from rechroming and rust the car is mechanically sound
also theres an antenna in the trunk and a radio in the dash but no visible mounting place for said antenna
also id like to upgrade the headlights and signal lights does anyone make led kits and would painless be able to make a wiring harness

also im interested in as much new metal as possible instead of refurbished i mean you wouldnt want refurbished underwear
and i dont know where or when but my monte picked up matching red circle chevy badges with gold bowties on the front fender about knee high, they are about an inch and a half in diameter, i dont like them but id save them if theyre valuable or can tell me something about the car

Maybe I'm in the wrong thread but I just finished restoring a 71' monto carlo. Now I'm trying to rebuild a 502c.i. to fit snuggly into it. shooting for 600+ hp 550+ torque.

Original Parts Group is one of the best places for repro parts. Their catalog is online now at their website. They do not mail out catalogs for the first gens anymore.
The best place for information is the First Generation Monte Carlo Club. Their web site is www.firstgenerationMonteCarlo.com
Good Luck!
