I wanna say it's around page 80 or so and I can't view anymore pics.
Pics are working. Some posts don't have pics because I was almost out of photobucket storage. I ended up paying for more

They are different between the Salon and Calais/Supreme coupes. The Salon has a different body line on the bottom of the doors and side panels. The Buick Century, like my 1980, shares the same door as the Olds Cutlass Salon.

I could use some good rot free doors for a Cutlass Salon/Century coupe if anyone has a lead on some.

The seats and bumpers are killing me. I got the passengers side bucket refoamed and recovered. Now it needs assembly and the plastics painted. I recovered the drivers seat back only about 10 PM last night. I just finished spray gluing on new foam for the bottom. It is supposed to rain this afternoon so I want to get those ready for assembly. I got to go to the paint supply store but I'm going to sit the rear bumper in the sun while I'm gone. I think I'll scratch it with a red scotchbrite so it can get some air before I leave. I'll probably be putting the orange on the rear bumper today. This way I can put the gold on both bumpers tomorrow. Sunday morning I can have my wife help me hang them and the hood for the picture for GP403. Holy smoke this thing is almost DONE :banana: :friday:

So I wipe the Salon down at least once a week with a wet microfiber rag. I actually wiped it down Tuesday. The dust collects in the tail light edges so I always wipe them out. I wiped it down this morning and find this. This looks like a BB gun impact to me. What do you guys think? You can see a nick in the chrome bezel. We have tons of kids in our neighborhood. I'd hate to think someone out of jealousy would shoot my car. So now I need a RH tail light lens :rant:

I have 3 cracks in the Monte's front window from the previous owners neighborhood.

This is why I park my cars behind a six foot stockade fence.
