    window problems

    Take off the upper door panel. You should see 2 "L" shaped brackets mounted to the top of the door. One near the front, the other near the back. They should have black felt pads on them and be adjusted to keep the glass in position. Sounds like you may have lost the felt or maybe they are loose...

    Monte SS steering box

    I also see the hoses are different part #'s. I'm thinking maybe the early A bodies have differnt threads than the the later G bodies? Maybe the older are SAE and the newer Metric? Before I dive in, I'm trying to figure out if I need to change the lines and the pump. The fittings if different at...

    Will it fit???????????

    Same glass 78 & up all G & A bodies. Only differences are tinted, clear, or with or w/o antenna in the glass. Mouldings for the windshield are the same too, only differences are polished or black. Not that easy to remove a windshield w/o cracking it. Have you done this before? If not, you...

    Buyer Beware!

    F'd again! USPS requires insurance to be purchased, nothing is included as it is with UPS.

    Buyer Beware!

    I think UPS(United Parcel Service) comes with $100 insurance. But Parcel Post from USPS(United States Postal Service) requires an additional fee for insurance. I check again and see.

    Buyer Beware!

    That's just it! He won't insure packages. he ships everything by the cheapest, slowest USPS service available. And on the buyer's end you have no control over how he sends it.

    BUYER BEWARE! when dealing with Robert Hernandez of rareelcos on eBay! I recently bought a set of aluminum brake drums from him on ebay. Paid something like $65 + $12 shipping. After a few weeks I get this busted up box with one drum. I waited a few days thinking he shipped each one...

    Seat tracks and a moulding

    On second thought, I think its better to try every other possible source before dealing with Robert Hernandez of rareelcos. I recently bought a set of aluminum brake drums from him on ebay. Paid something like $65 + $12 shipping. After a few weeks I get this busted up box with one drum. I...

    where do you find parts for this dang thing

    I'm pretty sure the malibu/lemans were the same up to 83. I know elky/malibu didn't get changed in 81 like the rest of the g bodies and I'm almost certain lemans/bonneville stayed the same too.

    Doors

    The rear doors are the same except for the upper frames around the glass. So the glass, weatherstrip and frame moldings ( except the front frame molding) are different. Door skins are the same, if you could find any. Or you could swap out upper frames to make which ever door you needed. It...

    1980 Pontiac GP Bumper

    Sounds like the energy absorber(bumper shock) is stuck in. Take a block of wood and a sledge hammer and place the wood against the edge of the bumper and give it a few blows with the sledge. Go easy, you're just trying to pop it back out not beat the hell out it. Be careful the wood and/or the...
