I found a front end wrecked '86 Elky with gray interior once at the junk yard. The dash was busted and someone had ruined the bucket seats and center console. Even so, I got all the interior trim (including the lower door panels), the back understorage space cover, and some of the rear half...

I'm the oldest of 4, and 3 of us are boys. My middle brother is the only one of us that road rages. He gets ticked off by other drivers and he ticks off other drivers. Most of the time it is completely ridiculous and nearly always blown way out of proportion. Some personality types just...

It is sort of a shame that people feel it necessary to jump on that PC bandwagon. Everything you have said is absolutely true, and the only reason someone might think you were saying something else is because they've never left their hometown or state...and just don't know what life is like...

I'm biased towards Chevy, but the primary reason I bought my first SS was because so many of them were made that genuine parts and aftermarket parts were abundantly available to do whatever I wanted with it, needed to do with it in the future for minor damage, and even swap out parts to another...

Here is a relevant short story that took place a couple months ago: I'm in the military, and I went to SE Asia for a month. Asians are known to popularize the whole SARS mask thing from the media...and about 10% of them actually routinely do that in public at any given time. During one of the...

I think you have a valid point about people not trusting information they are given and being skeptical about the motives of what they hear. I would just like to point out that I have a very good memory...much better than your average human. The very worst flu I ever got in my whole life was...

I have recoated every single interior part I have. I have also converted all the interior chrome to black...both metal parts and plastic parts. Note: I use a different method for metal parts; this is what I do for plastic parts and vinyl. You don't have to use the adhesion promoter, but you...

It is a very bad virus; not because it is particularly terrible with the symptoms, but because it is a very persistent bug. It is persistent because it won't really go away. It takes a very long time. And during that time, if people get a respiratory infection from it, they can get bronchitis...

I think you've been helped, but I'll give you some info just in case. I have both a t-top and a hard top SSs. I have replaced all the weatherstripping on the black '87 t-top car, but not yet replaced any of the stripping on the hardtop. Even so, I know how it needs to be done on the hardtop...

Don't do the slim jimmy trick with a hacksaw blade or something similar. Yes it works, but it is a PITA and not necessary. The stem of the headrest has these really big holes in it. The metal sleeve that the headrest stem slides through has a really large spring steel clip in it that pushes...

This isn't exactly that, but it is related: When I was in high school, we had this really old grouchy male teacher who also finally retired after decades of service before I graduated...so he was even older and grouchier while I was there then years past. The b*st*rd always referred to us...

Fluorescent bulbs contain a gas that doesn't exactly ignite, but fluoresces to produce light. I don't know what it is called because it just escapes me at the moment, but there is a little metal cylinder near the bulb that will pull out like a relay. That device will ping in a pulse to ignite...

It is cool that she wants one, but if you do get her one, either you and her mother or you and your current wife/gf (I don't know your situation) should get it on in the back seat before you give it to her, and then when she starts dating, tell her so she'll think twice about conceiving your...

Most years of that gen Monte have something special about them that makes them imo worth possessing if you really want one. The one and only thing that is special about the '85s is the interiors. It is the only year that they produced super plush crush velvet seats, and many of them also have...

Cool...it was worth the several hours I spent on the last 2 then :)

:lol:

I only have a few things to contribute to this. I agree about not using the promoter: A.) it isn't necessary at all if you do the prep work properly, and B.) it is just one of those additional products that people try to tack on to other products they sell to make more money. Solvents like...

Most of the custom stuff with my dash isn't really noticeable unless you know really well what stock looks like. Same is true for most of the interior. Some things here should be pretty obvious to just about anyone who owns a G-body though.

custom 442 and I have had some informal discussion on the board about adapting my Monte trunk panel kits for the Cutlass. The local Pick-N-Pull here is not local to me and very far away. Nevertheless, I went yesterday...and all I found was a '79 4-door and an '82 4-door. Both trunks were a...

I like how those tail lights look. Welcome.
