The GBody Blazer brake upgrade question
Yup this is a Russell steel braided brake line. Came in kit with both front soft lines and the rear soft line. My original lines were awful so this was a must when upgrading. Russell part number RUS-692100...- 88AZSS

GRAND PRIX Headliner
The clips go into the trim piece and then gets installed as one. I found when doing mine that I had to go through a couple clips before finding the strongest ones that worked for holding it all together and also staying in the holes. Mines a T-Top so I didnt have a front but this was my... -
Aligning front bumper so signal lights are centred .
I’m talking specifically about the signal lights here. Those appear caught up too. The opening should sit around the light and not bow up in front of it like it is. Here’s an example of how it should look when sitting around the light correctly. As for the tabs on the signal lights that...- 88AZSS

Aligning front bumper so signal lights are centred .
It looks like the nose is caught up on the light assembly. Try pulling it forward slightly to get it off whatever is holding it up on the light. I ran into that issue when I replaced my signal lights a while back. If memory serves, there’s two tabs up top that have screws and one on the bottom...- 88AZSS

Finally got me one.
Welcome to the site. That’s a very straight Monte you got there. We love photos here so post as many as you wish and give a general idea of what you wanna do with it, if anything. Personally, I’m curious about that grill. Got any more photos of it? Is it a custom deal or how’s it mount? -

What did you buy for your G body today? [2023]
Within the last week I finally started picking up some parts for the Monte again after leaving it idle for a bit. Got the Jegs crossmember for dual exhaust, couldnt beat the sales prices of $105. Also got the mount for the trans and also a new starter. Picked up a center console from a newer...- 88AZSS

Manual to electric seats
Shouldnt be an issue really. Grab the harness from below the seat, along the door sill and up to the power distribution block under the steering column. The power side should be on a plug that unclips from the block and clips into your car. The negative side may tie into the larger harness so... -

Yeah Mikes Montes and I believe OPGI have complete sets of interior hardware. -
Bit The Bullet And Now I'm An "Official" Old Guy
I thought you were gunna say you bought some White New Balances for grilling to go with your White New Balances for cutting the grass. :LOL: Congrats on getting the benefits that are owed to you, hopefully the remainder of the process is smooth and easy. I'm so far from SS age that I doubt it... -

What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]
Is this a stock GM serpentine setup? I had been wondering if I'd have to trim some of that bracket because of the alternator upgrade. Good to see someone has done it already and it works.- 88AZSS

GRAND PRIX Headliner
I considered the ABS board but after hearing of others experiences and living in AZ, I didnt think itd last even a summer. I opted to throw my money into restoring the original board I had. I have T Tops so I'm really only working with half a board. I used the metallic backed tape as suggested... -

81-88 Grand Prix roller value
Man that interior is not bad at all. But as others have said, I’d go with trying to see why they want for it and go from there. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Was it common “back in the day” to put a 2+2 nose on these? This is the first I’ve seen of that.- 88AZSS

Power mirror conversion
Here’s a link to my little write up and experience doing this. It’s particular to Monte Carlos and similar mirrors but I can imagine being similar to anything else getting a power mirror swap. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/power-mirror-upgrade.77051/ Two things I’d hammer home is be sure to...- 88AZSS

What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]
Ha! You read my mind. I have one from a GMT400 truck that I was going to mock up and see about fitting in the massive opening there. Would I run the lines on the drivers side or passengers for a 2004R?- 88AZSS

Ahh front end work. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” I don’t miss doing it but I’m glad to have it all done. You’ll love how much better the car feels and drives and how nice and clean everything is too.- 88AZSS

What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2022]
In preparation of the H4 bulb and lens upgrade I got from Dixie Restoration, I removed the front cover to get a better access to the headlight trim rings and dividers. I know they’re accessible from the front without removing the cover but I didn’t wanna scratch the edges of the cover more than...- 88AZSS
