It depends on the climate how long they last. Here in NY, I had a 78 GP that the headliner was falling in the early 80's. Had a friend whose father had a 84 GP and lived in FL for awhile. Brought the car back to NY and the headliner fell. It was around 86-87 that we put a new one in. We blamed...

Yeah there is a special tool to remove the windshield mouldings. You should be able to find one at a local auto parts. K-D makes one. It's a flat hook tool that you slide between the moulding and the glass and then slide it along the moulding until you feel the clip then pull the tool outward...

Looks great!

My 87 gp with 305 chevy 4 bbl only has a mechanical pump.

Sounds like you had a "French Tuck" vinyl top. That is where the vinyl is rolled over and appears to lay on the glass. On cars w/o the tuck or w/o a vinyl top, there are window moulding clips like the ones on the front windshield. They are mounted on small welded on studs spaced evenly around...

I have an 87 GP and a 78 elky. I'm pretty sure the gp nose would bolt onto the elky chassis. Only problem is that the doors have different body lines. So what could you do? Try elky side glass in GP doors? Might work. Then the 1/4's will have different body lines. Maybe cut the front half of a...

How many letters/#'s can you do? Here in NY we can do 8 on a regular plate and 5 on a nascar plate. Other choices could be .... 85 MONTE MONTE SS 85 MC SS Some other ideas w/o mentioning the car itself.... 55 LOL ( or whatever your speed limit is) 55 HA HA 55 YA OK

Do you know if any of those plates are available? In NY we can go to the dmv website and enter personalized #'s and it will say if it is available.

Thanks guys! I saw the double hump crossmembers at dixie mc and another el camino parts supplier. I think it would be easier to just cut and weld like the pics above. Unless I'm missing something, why spend $200-$300 for a new crossmember? Is there any reason why new would be better?

Just a suggestion....but you might want to look at what parts are available before you buy. Monte's and El Camino's seem to have the best coverage. GP's seem to have the least. Not sure about Cutlass/Regal. I have seen GN repro interiors but nothing for the Regal. So either find a clean car...

Looking to put dual exhaust on my 78 el camino. It had a 305 4v which was swapped out and replaced with a goodwrench 350 4v. Looks like the left side exhaust pipe will have to sit much lower than the right side due to the configuration of the transmission crossmember. I would rather the pipe...

Check the fuse and relay. I think the r/r signal is probably a bad bulb. Check both the tail light bulb and side marker bulb.

Only the upper panels are different. You can get the original material or have them made in the original material at http://smsautofabrics.com/

Many of those dried up chalky interior trim moldings are available as new repro items. Check out places that sell monte carlo resto parts. Most trim parts are interchangeable. True it can get expensive replacing everything, but it's nice to know that if one or 2 pieces turn to dust in your hands...

Take a look at www.dixiemontecarlo.com They have some nice "Hotchkis" performance suspension parts. Everything from springs, control arms, sway bars, 11" disc brake upgrades.....it should all fit the cutlass I think but ask to be sure. Although the stitching wouldn't be correct for a...

Thanks guys. You know it's really strange. All these aftermarket resto parts and each one seems to have a trade off. Either the material is different or the door panels are a different shade than other trim parts. Some door panels delete the moldings, some have different stitching. I can't...

Thanks. Not that I'm trying to fool anyone. I was wondering if they started to lift, bubble, curl, etc after time. Anyone have any other solutions for a cracked elky dash?

Anyone use one of those dash skins they sell on ebay? Wondering how they fit and how well they stay attached.

It's such a crappy design, isn't it? What amazes me is that new cars/trucks are still using this proven problem of a headliner. When I got my gp a little over a year ago from north carolina the headliner was perfect. After about 10 months here in ny it started bubbling and falling. I got an...
