Long time, no talk peeps. I just took the battery out of the Bu' and put in on a trickle charge in the basement. It's that time of year again. 🥶

A fellow Louisville guy, nice! I just saw about 10 of those dam things in that big ditch between brook street and jefferson lol.

working on tracking down some odds and ends that are missing, broken, or in bad shape and I'm having trouble finding just the hood release handle itself. Anyone know of anywhere that sells em? Or maybe have an extra one laying around?

For some reason I'm having trouble tracking one down for the ol 4 barrel quadrajet. Any of you more mechanical cats tell me where to find one or the kit?

Like you, I don't quite get the Camaro thing either. Not the first thing i would buy if i won the lottery tomorrow

ahhhhh you might be a lifesaver, if they end up being something you could part with please let me know. :notworthy:

anyone with a malibu know where i can find one of these suckers other than an ancient boneyard? Finally made myself devote some time to the dash but i still got that great big gaping hole staring back at me. For some reason the side vents are everywhere but the one i need eludes me...

I am notoriously cheap, so ive put it off for a great many year but my wife now says i need a new grille. GREEN LIGHT! :mrgreen: Always thought id go with honest charley when i finally pulled the trigger, but now i see one on rock auto for about half the cost. ive bought stuff from them before...

I will try and post a picture tomorrow. It honestly doesnt help that my dash is about shot lol. i like the two part epoxy idea a lot though, almost wonder if i can fake some repairs to the vinyl in that area with it now.

the nice, pre drilled, factory bolt holes for the radio and heater control plate snapped like a twig, or brittle 35 year old plastic today. not really sure what the hell to do now. anyone else have this problem and got some super awesome looking setup to hide it? :blam:

FINALLY, after almost 18 years of dreaming about it, bought myself a 2 in cowl hood from good mark :mrgreen: and tomorrow I'm going to see how much glass tint is gonna set me back

So the wiper motor was out of my bu when it became mine wayyyyy back in october of 96, and i never really planned on it being anything other than a fair weather car, until one of dads friends gave me one new in box :lol: Could someone with a non delay motor be so kind as to take a picture of...

anyone know of one? most all of them i find are 3 in tall, dropped would probably be better but im just hoping to find something shorter, think i need the space for a carb spacer.

staring at my dash, trying to decide which part of this mess i want to tackle first, based on frustration and cost lol. last big hurdle :blam:

well, tried a couple of things. replaced the crusty old gas cap and wrapped the line from the pump to the carb in foil, with a couple corks banded to it for good measure. New vented cap seems to help the pressure build up, but i guess i wont know for sure until it gets alot warmer here :?
