Brian is a great guy to work with :) If you ask him about the condition of the part he gives an accurate description.

GBodyParts, Dixie Monte Carlo Depot are a place to start. You can try some of the other G body parts suppliers (as in Buick GN and Regal parts suppliers), for items like headliner parts, as they're mostly generic between G body car lines. When all else fails, keep an eye on local classifieds, and if there are any swap meets in your area, you can sometimes find parts there as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks man... Also I'm debating on doing a two tone paint job instead of factory silver. Wondering if anyone thinks it would hurt the resale of the car. It will be jambed and done correctly just with different colors vs silver... Any thoughts??

I forgot to mention Mike's Montes as well.
As for repainting the car-look at it this way-its already been repainted once. Even if you wanted to put it back completely original, it would need a complete quality repaint. Its your car-you may as well enjoy it the way YOU want it to be. If you're concerned about the eventual resale value of the car, then you won't be able to enjoy the car the way you'd like to see it now.
If you'd like to see some Montes with custom paint, then you might want to have a look on montecarloss.com. Let us know how your project works out. Good luck.

Upon dismantling for paint I need a pass front fender, drivers rear tail light filler (piece that tail light sits in) also could use the plastic/rubber pieces that sit on top of the rear bumper under the trunk. I think that's about it for now lol...
As far as the painting this is just a car I'm going to re sell when I'm done that's why I was talking about just going silver and it will be a quality job jambed and all. With better paint than was used from the factory... I'm thinking of doing some ss stripes across the hood and trunk thou... Sanded a lot today then on to bodywork!
