When I found out craftsman was being made in China, I shopped 6 different seats and bought up all the professional line of wrenches I could find. The rest is Chinese k mart crap. So sad.

I give credit where it's due and the car looks great. And even more credit for installing the doors with the front fenders on the car...omg! I recently lined up doors on my GN and wanted to kill something after. Extremely hard to line up

Body looks straight. That floor pan rust is likely due to the t top leaking. That's going to be the hard part. Good luck man and thanks for saving a G body!!

When I was 18, I took my elco in for a valve adjustment, they were noisy. Turned out I was out of oil:blam: Pull the valve cover and get car started, might just be a rocker out of adjustment. If in fact it is a sticky lifter, sea foam or marvins mystery oil like you said may help. If you go...

The seats also appear to have a 5 angle finish, hard to tell in the pic but looks like it. Nothing comes close to AFR. Out of the box they flow well on the bench, on the engine dyno and in the car. People buy edelbrock or other lower cost heads, then spend another $500-1k on port work, valve...

AFR heads and never look back. Best heads on the market and nothing compares. Just clearance that stuff yourself, not a hard task. Valves should NOT leak at all weather cut with a serdi or finished with stones. That's not acceptable. Not to mention you can't see what the valve job on the back...

I just put new wheels on, guess it's hard to see in the dark. No Rocs for me, it's classic but played out. Not my truck, have no idea who it belongs to. It's right by LAX;) I will be putting the factory SS and Choo choo logos and stripes back on, after its painted back to the factory color...

Got it figured out. Just need to lower a little more up front. Thanks for the help guys!

Soooo happy with the new springs. Here's a pic of lowest and one adjusted up 2" on the coil body. Perfect range for what I want to do! When is the monster truck jam in Anaheim? Lmao. Goes way up high if I need it.

A cutlass in Los Angeles is as mentioned, a $2500 car at best. Doesn't seem to be very big market on the G bodies right now. I have a buddy selling an el Camino he put about $20k in, for $8k obo and it's excellent inside out. So $10k is a little steep. Sometimes you have to take a loss and call...

Installed the 600lb springs on the coil over's. With spring at its lowest setting, it gained maybe 1/2". Should be able to adjust them up at least an inch I hope. I'll try tonight.

Yeah that's a lot of money. Especially no bucket seats, forget it.

Found the problem. I called qa1 today and gave them the part number summit tech guy gave me when up went to 450lb springs on my coil over's. Turns out they gave me the wrong part number..... Ordered a stiffer spring and the RIGHT ones, unbelievable. Luckily summit said they would exchange them...

Well I would like to keep my coil over's on but not sure if I could get a good enough ride height out of them. I have 450lb springs in there now. Maybe if I go 650lb springs because these 450's don't hold the car up very well.

Hoping to get some help here. I know with my qa1 coil over's I won't be able to get the front end up to put my 20" wheels on the el Camino. I figure I'll have to put some moog springs and some shocks in there. Question is, what springs? This is an 87 el Camino, v8 air conditioning car. Any help...

I've had good success with odyssey group 78 batteries, actually brought one back from 9 volts today. I tried a Bosh AGM and it started to give me issues on the exact 4 year purchase warranty month....last month. I've used optima but went through a couple until I got a good one under warranty...

Been a while but looks to be a plug that goes to AC controller. Could be totally wrong.

Like those guys said, and as you've been told, zinc. If you're real cool, you'll try to find an old stash of GM EOS

Your new glass didn't come with that??

It's called "Murphys quantum law"...:rant:
