Mine was a 1972 Cutlass. This was in 1991. My buddy told me about an old GM Car sitting in a garage at a small apartment house that his aunt owned. He was a Ford guy and had no interest in it. We went to look at it. Here was this light green 1972 fastback Cutlass sitting on four flat tires...

Does anyone know how much room they have on the drivers side, between the floor pan and the top of the Header Collector. I am using swap headers that are not for a G-Body and they will need to be adjusted down to clear. I am curious what the typical clearance is. The Passenger side is not a...

I had to travel to Jaurez, Mexico for work this week. Just got here today. The vehicles down here are interesting. First we pulled into immigration to do the paperwork and there were 4 old beetles in the parking lot. I rarely see those any more. Saw some small car based Chevy trucks...

Hey guys need some help. The connections to the Air Conditioning Condensor on my car are on the driver side. The condensor is out of my parts car Monte which was an 86 with a 305. The LS1 is going to have the Compressor mounted on the passenger side. I have heard that some of the G-bodys had...

Anyone out there have any experience using Just Dashes to recover your factory Dash, whether on a G-body or some other ride? Were you happy with the results? I had a perfect dash from my parts car, but I was stupid and left in on the roof of the car when I backed it out to clean the garage...

Guys, I need to install the two bushings that go into the Rear Axle Housing on the top where the upper control arms connect. Anyone ever installed a set? How did you do it? It seems like a tight fit. I am guessing I will need to buy or rent one of those heavy duty C-Clamp like presses. I...

Just thought I would share some updates of my Monte Carlo project. It is about as disassembled as it can be. The Frame just came back from media blast and powder coating. It turned out really nice. The Body shell under side is getting blasted and painted. Then I can start fitting the motor...

http://www.allpar.com/fix/holler/slant-six-turbo.html While the website above is Mopar, it is a good article on how to set up a low buget turbo system. It is a multi part article about how he installed a turbo set up on a carburated slant six for under $1000. You could use the ideas on type...

Does anyone know if those Gas Struts that hold up the deck lid can be adjusted? I replaced mine and within a few months they would not hold up the trunk lid. I am wondering if you can adjust the stiffness like on a screen door strut.

I replaced the small shocks that hold up the trucklid on my 81 Monte. They worked great for a month or two, now the won't hold it up. Does anyone know if these things are adjustable? Someone suggested that you might be able to turn the shaft (like on a screen door) to adjust the tension. If...

Hi Guys, I had a couple of G-Bodys back in high school (78 Cutlass and 81 Regal) and never got them out of my system. Grandma gave me her 81 Monte Carlo with 62,000 Miles a couple of years ago. I am finally getting going on the project. Its getting an 86 LS Front and Rear. I have a LS1 -...
