Pypes Turbo Pro

Sunday I decided to tackle the leaking passenger side rear quarter window. The RePop reproduction seals look alright but do very little to seal the window. I cut away and cleared out the sealer around the perimeter of the glass. I bought another tube of 3M Window Weld 08609 and resealed the...

Grabbed the back seat base and passenger seat out of the basement and get then in the car along with the carpet.

Congratulations, what a great car!👍

His add states to Text him with no phone number, he meant to text message him through the FB add, I asked. He got back to me the same evening. He was nice to deal with and will ship some items but wouldn’t ship what I needed, a wheel opening molding. I was having no luck locating one anywhere...

sounds interesting, will have to look into it. 👍

Spoke with a 3M rep a few weeks back and decided that all of the NOS badges for my Cutlass would need to have new adhesive tape applied before installing them on the car. I went with his product recommendation. I pulled the backing tape on the trunk lock emblem and there was no adhesion at all...

Took a ride down to the wrecking yard in Swedesboro, NJ this morning. I left the house at 2:15 am and picked up my Dad on the way. The main items to grab, if possible, was the rear wheel opening molding that I knew he had for me and possibly a good rear bumper. No bumpers or any other useable...

Got a couple hours out in the garage this morning and another this evening. I serviced my JD LT133 rider for the season and prepped and painted the rear speaker deck and speaker grills. The SEM paint sprayed nicely, covered well and matched perfectly. The carpeted speaker deck cover was slightly...

Did any of the '78-'88 Cutlass's come with painted 15" SSIII wheels? I see sets of 15" SSIII's from mid 70's Colonnade Cutlass's come up for sale from time to time but not sure if they'd work on the 78-88 models.

I found a set of '87 Olds 442 15" wheels and center caps for sale not too far away for $500. The rims have some surface rust and faded gold insets in the spokes, but look to be in pretty good shape, the centers as well. Is the asking price out of line or decent or? My idea is to go 15"...

Interior paint showed up last week while I was away, Vinyl Pro was able to mix the original paint code.

Been a subscriber to HR since 1984, I’m dropping it when it expires. Got my first quarterly issue in a few weeks ago and while a cool retro Pro Street issue with cars I remember very well, it didn’t change my mind. Only car magazine left that I get will be Hemming’s Muscle Car.

Yesterday I put the car out in the driveway, was close to 60 degrees and sunny out. I installed the restored headliner, dome light (hoping it will be reproduced at some point, it's pitted but shined up alright for now) and sun visors. The passenger side now has the lighted vanity rather than the...
