All, As you may or may not know, I'm painting my 87 442 in the 83 H/O paint scheme. I'm hoping some H/O owners chime in on the measurement of the silver to black cut off. Is the lower silver the same height up from the bottom as the 442? I would think so. What I really need is the...

I have the Moroso 20480 7 qt pan. I got it a while back and never heard of the baffle cracking issue. I have a few pics of the problem areas from a guys post over at ROP and one from Fleming here. It looks like the sheet metal stress cracks and the welds stay put. As I see it, I have 4...

All, I'm doing a serpentine conversion on the 442 and I'm using the 91 S10 Blazer style CS Alternator. I have the Napa EC82 Conversion Harness that has the in line resistor. Will this work with the 442 Rally Gauges? Anyone done this swap recently? Thanks in advance, Hutch

Fix your loose Tilt Column in your G-Body! I’ve included steps that a more experienced mechanic could probably skip, but this is for everyone. Here’s the tools you’ll need. (I think I got them all) Steering Wheel Pivot Pin Remover (get the Lisle 19940 tool)...

Thought I would post this here for those interested. Hutch

Thought I would put these in here for folks that don't follow my build. That's a lot of watching, but that's the whole thing. Then you just bolt it back in the way it came out. Hutch

I have this posted within my build thread, but thought some may find it useful here. Rally Gauge Refurbish: Disassembly on the bench: You will need a 1/4 inch nut driver and a 7 mm nut driver (for the gear indicator if you have a column shift and plan to convert to center console "blank")...

So I'm figuring out my backspace for my wheels. While I was working I mocked up the front C5 brakes and rotors. The bracket on the caliper is pretty close to the wheel. I can fit a .030 feeler gauge in between the wheel back and the bracket. Is that too close? As you can see by the stud, I...

Sooooooooo..... Same as the other posts. Any high res pics would be appreciated. Maybe the ElCo gets it's own shirt. I don't know. For now I'll take whatever pics come my way. PM me or e-mail to [email protected] Hutch

All, I was thinking of doing a "Longroof" T-Shirt. At this point I'm not sure if one shirt with all the brands on it is what I want to do, or an individual shirt for each wagon. I'm going to try to use photoshop to do it (I'm a noob at it), so we'll see how it turns out. If I go single...

I am thinking of doing an early G-Body T-Shirt. I would like some high res pics of: Grand Prix, Regal, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, Malibu, LeMans I would like to use pics from owners to try and make a 78-80 shirt (or shirts). If you're interested in playing, e-mail your pics to...

I just got around to putting the Wilwood hubs on my spindles. I adjusted down to zero play and then backed off a little to put the cotter pin in. They seem really tight. Will not free wheel at all. I'm not sure if this is normal for these. I'm looking for some input from someone who's...

I have found three different grays that are off the shelf colors for SEM. There's Medium Gray, Gray, and Prisidio Gray. Is one of these colors a match for the 442 Gray, or does it require a custom mix. If it's a custom mix, have they done enough to say "oh yeah, we have that specific color mix...

Anyone know what product to use to recolor a rubber horn button. I found a co. in Toronto called Parasol Inc that makes a rubber bond product. Not sure what to go with. Anyone else done this? Hutch

A little late for this, but I'll be up there Friday, April 21st. Anyone going this year? I will try and catch some pics of any good G-Body's there. Hutch

I've designed a shirt for sale featuring the 442, GP 2+2, GNX, and MCSS. I'll try to post a pic and link for each one. I set the limit at 50, but it says they will keep printing if more orders come in. I wanted a nice G-Body shirt, and this seemed the best way to do it. I'm hoping to get...

So I have the Hotchkis upper A arms to use with the GM B-Body spindles to get the 12" rotor upgrade. With that said, I've been looking at the UMI lower control arms. They come in regular ball joint and 1/2" taller which "improve spindle height, lower center of gravity and reduce bump steer"...

So the new trunk floor drop offs for the Cutlass are out. Where do you get the body plugs to fill in the "inspection?" holes? Anyone know what to use for this? Help body guys. Hutch

Thought I would move the build over here from the 442 page. Here's what's been done so far. Get the car home Tear the front end off Take the engine out Take the body off the frame Start to strip the frame Sand blast the frame The frame blasted clean The frame coated Install Inline Tube...

This may be stupid to ask, but has anyone on here suggested using the power of 11,000 + members to get a product to market. By this I mean using the power of numbers to ask if a part is produced. Example: I sent a question to Painless Wiring using their customer contact e-mail about whether...
