Hi Paul, I was a GM partsman for 31 years. 72 Monte Carlo, 402 came frome the factory with regular exhaust manifolds. They did not have factory headers.
Thank you for replying. I 100% agree.
No factory headers on those cars. Even on my 70 SS with the 454 it wasn't an option.
The steering shaft was designed to unbolt at the gear box on those big block cars.
Looks great, sounds great. Now when are you going to fill us in on what your doing with the Monty setting in your parts yard 🤔🙃
Fits like a glove. Love your vids. All the people and places you guys go. Love you guys!
Paul filling up Michelle's car reminds me of my Dad. He always ran out to fill the Thunderbird's tank before my mom drove it. He died in 1991 and one of my mom's concerns was that she didn't know how to put gas in the tank. My sister showed her. My Dad was quite the gentleman, so is Paul. RIP Dad, today would've been his 103 birthday.
My dad did the same for my mom. When my dad passed away my brother and I do it for her now (she only fills up once a month)
My mom is 80 and has never fueled up a car. My dad 84 always makes sure to have full fuel tanks.
I like hearing stories like this. What a gentleman RIP sir.
My father passed away at 86 recently and he was like that as well. He would regularly go out of his way to do little things for my mother if she needed it done.
Sending Some Love!!! they dont make'm like they used too.
Thanks a bunch Paul, Ben and Hunter. I love the new exhaust and I really appreciate you guys doing it for me!!!!
That car sounds great !
@@thomasfletcher760 Yeah, there's just something neat about all those old 70s vehicles.
Nice ride , love the patina.
I can't believe it's only got 88K on the odometer. I have a couple of 2005 cars that have about double and triple that.
What no shop burn out... lol
Nice to meet Michelle's brother he sounds like a good person. Awesome recovery that old car is beautiful. Good to see Papa Dar
Thank you Rhonda. Glad you enjoy Michelle and Paul’s videos.
It’s hard to think of that Monte as an “old car”. I remember when it came out. If that’s old, then I must be ol- less young than I used to be 😂
@@dougbowen4685 I'm old Doug very old
Goooooood morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats! 🐀🐀🐀👀
Good afternoon to you, all, and fad rats crew
Fighting ?
Just good brotherly banter !
🤣
If you guys are fighting, I would hate to see it when you are actually mad at each other. You guys get along great! I love the interaction in the shop! Great brother work!
He’s covering it up... but deep down Paul is thinking “ another jeep ? Didn’t he know ben’s getting mangled on the highway was a sign to not do another freaking jeep ?!?!?” Lol
It is going when brothers dwell together in harmony. It's great to see you guys working to getting in good comrade. You all are good people. It's great to see you being a good example to Hunter. Take this to heart Hunter It'll be to your advantage.
Brothers argue hell no we just plan for the next time you get to smile at your brother's demise lol
In all My years as a mechanic, I have never seen a vehicle come from the factory with headers on. They were always after markets.
That would have been born with cast iron exhaust manifolds. Thanks for the great videos. Never miss one ! Monte headers piece of cake. Do an E body Dodge with a big block. Lots of fun
I always enjoy the random Grandma Lolly appearances lurking in the back
Always a blast with the Rats! And whoever said you two brothers are fighting... absolutely has never seen 2 brothers interact longer than 2 minutes together. =))
In Canada, my brother and I owned many Chevelle SS cars, friends had the Montes, we also owned Z28, and many other 70's factory toys, NONE came with factory headers. Most headers never lasted more than four years, and often the center of the collector blew out.
Just a note to thank Michelle, I do appreciate how you lower the volume when the power tools are screaming away. I wish more channels would pay that kind of attention to detail. **cough** Matt's OR **cough** 🙂
Gotta love a sweet ol Monte Carlo especially a big block car looks like it's in exceptional condition for an original 1 owner car hopefully he keeps her going for many more years to come!
I love the surprise in Paul’s voice when he realizes that the header will fit.
You guys are not fighting. Back in the day when my brother and I used to fight we would be going at it with breaker bars and camshafts.
@3:00 NO they don't come stock whit long tube headers, that's was also the start of the smog era, unless it went to a aftermarket shop like Shelby or any of those type of shops it wouldn't get headers. And the only reason I know this with the Monte Carlo is the 1970_72 are my all time favorite car that I have built and sold and never got to keep for long, it's my Eleanor!!
Man this video brings back memories, my buddy Greg had a 1970 Monte Carlo with a 454. It was a beast, black on black. I remember him ripping it down the street, those were the days. I think gas was around 30 cents a gallon for regular and premium was 40 something! What fun!
Chevrolet made some SS 454 Monte Carlos in 70 and 71, they were sleek and fast for the times. They were very tastefully trimmed with no stripe packages and the SS454 badging was small, one on the bottom of each front fender, in the lower trim.
FABBBB RAT.S !!!!!!! PERFECT TIMING JUST GOT home from work just landed on the sofa I'm Ready for fab
What a wonderful team these brothers are, working together. I appreciate the knowledge and craftsmanship they exhibit in every video.
Living the literal dream not what we think life should be! Idk about everyone else but if I became famous or came across some money and the ability to provide for all my family I would be doing it just like this…Everyone I loved would be taken care of only condition would be they need to visit regularly if they don’t live somewhere in the compound 😂
They control the vertical and the horizontal. It's TH-cam.
I'm an old Guy, I was 13 in 73.
Thanks Guys.
Mike M.
I turned 13 Oct of 73' Buddy bought the exact same car but with the black top. every loved "Monty"
Hey Paul and Michelle…. If you look at a pic with the two of you and throw Hunter in between he could easily pass off as one of your own. It’s especially noticeable with Paul and Hunter together.
It might help you to know I like to use brake lines to custom band my own little tail pipes and then copy him to the bender and use the big pipe I used to do exhaust at muffler shops of my own so just to let you know a little trade secret brake line works great for making test pipes
I just love watching the interactions. Paul the way you treat those young men of yours is so remarkable. It’s hard to be a good parent and man you and Michelle have done a great job man. Papa Dar is a great influence and watching Paul n Ben n Hunter laughing together is a gift. I just love you guys
I'm shocked this channel is not at a million subs by now. Been watching for bout 4 years only gets better. Good decent hard working folk. Hee ya keep her lit 🔥
Just got my brand-new Fabrice shirt in the mail today thanks to my wife and love it
Not sure if the headers were a factory option or a dealer option, but that Monte has a 12 bolt rear end and reinforced lower control arms so it musta been a special car, with some good options checked.
One of my 1st cars was a '75 Delta 88. Came w/ an 8 track player factory! Was an absolute land barge but rode so smooth.
Land yaht
Hunter you need to learn this . Paul them pipes sound good. And Michelle's brother got a nice job just showing people around.
With all the cars my Brother had owned...never have I seen factory headers like those...but factory Cast Iron headers, Yes.
Before I even watched this video I realized most of your videos tend to be 20 min+ and id just like to say, I Love It! Such a great thing ya'll do, giving us a window into your life, thank you Paul, Michelle, Ben, Hunter & others!
You two get along so much better than I do with mine.
Grandma Lolly is cool... Who doesn't just love a spunky yet classy lady.... :) I never noticed how close Hunter and Paul look to each other.... Its always fun to watch the banter between them.... Yes... they are no doubt best of buds and best off relatives....
You made me feel old when you said you weren’t born when that Monte Carlo was built. I was finishing high school on the way to the Army.
I do love the Monte Carlos. The first nice car I bought was a 1976, a few years later I bought another 76. Wish I still had them both.
Thanks for showing us how to replace an entire exhaust system. I've never seen the entire process beginning to end. This one was definitely worth watching.
Always makes me laugh 😂 I don’t want to scratch the paint on my 4x4. Don’t leave the pavement!!
After you made the first cut I thought we need to hear the big block straight out of the headers! I knew there was a greater reason I watch this channel!!
Hey Paul.
That one day the Ben was working on the front end of his Jeep by himself. You were outside washing your bike.
That made it look like there was something fishy going on.
Seem like you was trying to get away from him.🤷🏽♂️.
Good job 👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽😊😎.
just didn't wanna do gears. they get tedious and boring
Never factory headers on a GM. The exception is the 69 Z-28, but the optional headers were shipped in the trunk to be dealer installed. Even the highest horsepower from the factory, 460hp LS-6 in a 70 Corvette had exhaust manifolds. Now because I know what the internet experts will say, the Baldwin-Motion and Nickey cars did have headers, but those are not factory cars, but modified by the respective dealerships. Also, some much later Corvettes had tubular exhaust manifolds, similar to a header. And some Astro/Safari vans had kind of a shorty header, made of stainless on the 4.3 V6
The absolute best looking Monte Carlo they made is the early 70s
Boy Michelle, you really need to keep that puffy heart thingy around .....all the love that they spread down in that shop with that hammer..... You're going to need it!
Upon some research the 70 Monte Carlo 402 big block came with the factory headers with the duel exhaust. The pipes were flat to tuck them up due to no room. Take care guys and don't fight LoL. ( Note to Hunter if you like your girlfriend. Put gas in her car and check the oil. It may help with other benefits ). have a great day.
My dad loves the 1973 Monte Carlo, it was his first car and he's had 2. I still remember him telling me most of those he could find were 72s or 74s because they only made the 1973 for 6 months. Excellent video, I sent it to him
I'm not a big fan of the second gen Monte Carlo's but the 73 is the best year of the second gen I use to have one it was white with black interior had the seat that turned out and was a 350 original but someone put a big block 454 out of a truck in it until I blew it up because the engine was wore out.
@@79tazman Big block truck engines just don't work well in cars.
I had a 70 with the 400 and 76 with the 350 I much preferred the 70
I had a 72 in high school. Small block. I bought a 74 454 in '88 and I haven't done much to it since. One of these days maybe I can get the funds and motivation together at the same time.
Love the sound of a V8 with dual exhausts.
My dad has a 72 it a very solid car just at paint the old boy painting it restores classic cars his whole life. Makes anything he touches better than new, if vehicle has a dollar limit on the work he wont touch it.
Fun fact. The 1970 to 1972 Monte Carlo shares the frame and greenhouse with the Chevelle. The Monte Carlo dashboard (round gauges) is the dash you got in a Super Sport Chevelle. The Monte Carlo dash added a wood grain sticker over the black plastic piece in a Chevelle.
The Monte Carlo has a longer wheelbase than a Chevelle, and it doesn't fit any other car.
Nice job Paul and crew. Always helping out a friend! I know that when you live in a small town almost everyone is your friend and will do what is asked of one another.
Stay safe healthy and happy 👍
'76 Monte Carlo had the 454 HO option. and yes, it came with factory headers to be installed by the dealership. Headers were shipped in the trunk and the dealership installed them. As far as other engine sizes or years, I couldn't verify. But it seems likely.
Sorry, but that's false. The last year a 454 of any hp rating was available in a Monte Carlo was 1975. In fact, no big block was available in a '76 Monte Carlo.
@@danjanes8689 so you're saying the car my mother drove nearly 18 years is a lie?
@Daniel Miller Do a Google search. I've lived and breathed Montes for over 35 years. Is it possible her car was an earlier year? In the mid '70s there was no H.O. anything. Emissions choked everything.
@@danjanes8689 Early 76. Built with some of the leftover parts from the 75 run, which I'm assuming may have included the 454 HO. I know it's a 454 HO cuz when the car got wrecked, I kept the engine and had to do some internal rebalancing. And the 404 only had 2 valves per cylinder, where the 454 HO had 4. Engine still lives in my square-body chevy truck.
There is NOTHING like the rumble of a 70s big block. American Muscle Baby!
Also, Hello Joe, Nice to meet you.🤠
My grandfather drove my mom to the hospital to give birth to me in a ‘72 Monte Carlo. He rebuilt the engine after 100k miles. We had it until the ‘90’s when a jackdonkey put diesel in the engine. My grandfather was dead by then, and my mom didn’t know what to do so she sold it. So sad. It was a beautiful vehicle. The body was perfect. I sure miss that car as I have wonderful memories of it.
Glad you got to work on one.
Paul and Ben better stop fighting or Grandma Lolly will kick their butts, again😂
Pretty awesome working on a one owner muscle car not very many survivors, also I’ve never seen brothers get along as well as you guys do especially working together!
Wow. That brings back memories. Send it to Robbie for a paint job restoration. Nice job 👌. And I see that Michelle took lessons from my wife about filling the car with gas and going shopping and going out for dinner and saving her money. 😂😂😂😂. Oh and good job guys.😊
Pretty sweet having a rescue in the family Wot!!
My very first car was a 72 Monte....loved that car.
I think you should create a Fab Rats pro exhaust sticker! Another awesome job Paul and Ben.
I was born a long time before that car was built. We used to do exhausts for cars like that where the tips came out in front of the rear wheels. We would do an angle cut on the tips and braze a bead around the edge to stiffen it up and blunt the edge.
I love seeing a gold Mote Carlo. I had a 1970 gold Monte Carlo. It was also a one owner. My cousin came home from the Vietnam war. He had saved his money and bought it was the money he saved. I bought it from him and drove it while I was in high school and college.
Awesome sound from that exhaust! Great work Fab Rats crew!!
With all the guy's around the shop, and Michelle and Lolli doing what they do keeping Fab Rats up and running, they should never have to worry about gassing up, changing the oil, or tune-ups! That's part of what you do best! By the way nice job on the 72 Monte Carlo! Til next time take care and stay safe...
Paul that ole wood truck is a runner! Sounds great. Watch yall all the time.
I love those old land yacht Fisher bodies. Well, I love those old heavy Fords too like the LTD’s, Thunderbirds, etc. I wish more of them had been preserved and saved. Just another thing we Americans took for granted though.
Me and my cousin put a 427 in the same model car as the one you work on the one thing we did about the motor mount is we made space for the headers with short pieces of galvanized pipe and longer bolts between the frame and motor mount and it worked, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
YAY!
Number 1 !!!!
No Way!!! YAY!!!!! Firsties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@JanelleVocate-Ames 👍👍👍
@@richardthomas1743 thanks honey, you're my biggest fan!
Whoo Hoo 🤘😆
Yes👍 headers for a Monte Carlo’s and other cars too,back in the 1970’s 😊
That Monte has the PERFECT patina.
I owned a 77 Monte Carlo when I was in high school, I miss that old car.
Love those old boat cars with big blocks! I try to be the one to fill my wife’s car ever time. I always thought the gesture would make me look just a little more attractive. I thought I was in a group of very few.
My Dad was 85 years old and had to go into the hospital for surgery about 45 miles away from home. My mother was 82 and needed to drive to the hospital to be with Dad. She realized that she needed gas in her car so went to the gas station and had no idea whatsoever how to put gas in the car. Mom would come home and tell Dad her car was low on gas and he would stop whatever he was doing and go put gas in for her. It had been probably 65 years or more since she had put gas in a car. She went inside and the lady that worked there was very kind, came out and showed mom how to use her credit card and then put the gas in for her. I learned how to be a gentleman and treat a lady from my Dad.
I owned a 72 Monte Carlo in 1972 and at that time I managed a full serve service station. I’ve never seen a big block or any other Monte Carlo with factory headers. Most folks don’t know what a service station was. We pumped your gas, checked fluid levels, washed your windshield and aired your tires up if needed. I’ve pumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline that sold for $0.249 a gallon. That’s not a typo the gasoline was less than a quarter of a dollar for one gallon back then. With that being said I serviced many Monte Carlos with 350s, 402s and 454s and no factory headers.
I thought I remembered putting a gallon of gas in my 1970 Suzuki 90 for a quarter. Been a little while. 🙂
I had those Corvette rims on my 74 Monte, I sure wish Paul and Ben would stop fighting so much!! LOL
YOU HAVE GOT TO PLAY THAT MUSIC WHEN YOUR ON THE TRACK DURING WRECKER WARS. BEST MUSIC EVER. FIRST SONG. 19:51
I once taught Intro to Blueprint Reading classes at a Vocational Technical School. It was interesting how many people absolutely could not visualize sketching anything in 3 dimensions. The artists in the class were very good at this. Paul is one of those artists by bending tubing in 3 dimensions.
That is a super sweet Monte Carlo!!!! Reminds me of my high school days in 1981 doing burn outs in my buddy's!!
Loved this video. I have a 1970 Monte Carlo that I've owned for almost 36 years. Mine is not an original big block car but does have a 396 big block/TH400 in it now. I love these first generation Monte Carlo's.
That Monte Carlo's the sort of ride you meander into Vegas in and never come out.😊
In high school I bought a ‘71 Monte Carlo. It was a pretty sweet ride and a few days per year I miss riding around in that thing on a summer day, manually shifting the TH350 and barking second gear for the ladies. 😂
I thought that looked like Mike Henrie from the Richfield class of '87. Good to see you cruisin' an old car! - Kenny Muir
😎💯✌big block MoteCarlo are best NASCRA ever..a friend had one freaking luv it...
Your fabrication talents are superior Paul and Ben!
8:25 thumbs up for the "give it some love" animation.
The patina on the Monte Carlo was perfect. 🤟😎
Put a good amount of any dish soap on your hands first, then of course rubb them, then wipe off with paper towels before you rinse. This works amazing!...cheap too...dollar store dish soap works just as fine..Dawn is the best but regular ol' dish soap does the job!
My aunt have an orange one. And she end up giving it to one of my big brothers down in Mississippi. She went from this beauty to an Chevette.
That burble from the exhausts always brings a smile to my face. 😊
Love the old Monte Carlo's!! I had a 72 that was flame orange. Miss that car! We sold it and used the cash towards a down payment on a house. The house is worth almost 3 times what we paid, but I still miss the Monte Carlo!!
That fire coming out of the stove is just the afterburner kicking in. Heats the shop faster, hahaha
Always had a soft spot for those first years Monte Carlos
Paul keeps fighting with poor lil ole Ben🥺
My son bought a 92 Buick Roadmaster with only 27,150 miles on it. The original owner passed away then her son got it. Had been parked since around 2015. He got the car at auction for less than $700. Car runs great.
Love those old big block land yacht s . My first car was a 1971 ford Gran Torino with a 351 big block . She was the smoothest ride I ever owned, and the fastest 😄.
Had one like it in high school, most fun car to drive as long as you’re going in a straight line
My Dad's 72 Impala 4 door with 6ft hood. We put a bumper hitch on it to pull a small boat.
The ball latch lever would it the bumper before it dropped onto the ball.
We decided to dent the bumper with a sledgehammer.
We could barely put a mark on it until we heated it up cherry red.
After completing the job. We remembered the fuel filler was inches away from our blow torch. Filler was behind the license plate
'72 was the coolest looking year for the Monte.Brothers fighting?That never happens.
My first car was a 73 Monte Carlo, sat in my dad's driveway for 2 years before he gave it to me. Transmission went out in style in front of the house. I put it in gear and started to move, I hear a pop, clink and and this like every gear went crunch at once and the car wouldn't move anymore, would love to have it now, scrap yard it went long ago.
12 bolt axle, boxed lower four link control arms and rear sway bar, that's an original 402 or 454 equipped Monte Carlo. The 454 Super Sports had oval exhaust tips...It still had the original rear muffler hanger brackets!
That car is a peach. Nice exhaust job. Might I suggest they put a psychedelic headliner on that ceiling to complete the throwback effect. 😮
We love Monties, the personal luxury cars, big block even better. Thanks guys good job.Central California watching
Even my uncles 68 and his 70 Chevelle SS, both had 396's, did not come with headers from the factory. Possibly a dealer added option, but not GM factory.
I learned to drive on a 72 Monte. This is bringing back memories!
I knew Paul and Ben were fighting, Paul kept spraying him with the penatrating oil when they were fixing the driveshaft. Then he laughed about it, and Grandma Lolly had to tell Paul to stop spraying his brother. Video's are great guy's even when you are acting like your not fighting.😅 Oh yea, I like stirring the pot.
Hey!!!! Cave Lakes Ranch!!!!! That place is beautiful!!! We stayed there and Roam took us on an really awesome Horseback ride while we were there!!!!
