Thanks Donovan, I’m happy with it! It really is like being a 17 year old kid again, just fun to be back in that car after all these years. 👍
Still have some things to tend to and started a punch list for this winter, but nothing that will lay the car up for long. Still hoping they don’t start...
Lower on the interior door, with the door panel off, there is a bolt with a bracket inside the door that limits how far the window will drop. Loosen it and lower the window just enough to access the screws to the sweeps.
Picked up the car at 3pm at the alignment shop, it drives very nice now and my wife and I went for our first ride together, it was apart when we met back in 1991. We went by a local sign shop across town to get an idea on cost for putting the factory painted striping back on the car. They were...
I took my car for a drive yesterday for the first time in 33 years. In spite of the time passed it felt very familiar and I enjoyed the short drive down the back roads in town. An arm on the sill, one hand on the wheel and listened to my tail pipes….was terrific!
It still needs a front end...
Got my tags today, if the rain stops I'll get it to the alignment shop tomorrow morning/ afternoon, whenever he can get me in. Hope to take a ride down to my folks house and show them the car, they haven't seen it in a while and want to go for a spin. 🤞
A strange thing happened at the MA RMV...
Are you going with a floor shift and factory console? If so GBodyParts has the two gauge cluster that fits it nicely. I put one in my ‘80. I have the sweep speedo as well and actually still like it. Back when I was a kid I could have taken a dozen of the Ralley clusters out of the wrecking...
Just got the car appraised for the insurance policy, should have the report by Wednesday next week. Plan to register the car on Thursday afternoon and get it to the alignment shop on Friday morning. Hopefully the plan comes together and I can put some miles on it over the weekend, it’s been a...
I am looking for the two retaining clips (four total, LH and RH) that hold the simple B-Pillar molding onto my 80' Cutlass Supreme 2 door base coupe. If anyone has the part numbers or the parts themselves I'd be interested to know or purchase 4 of them.
Out of my GM parts book, I believe my...
Got in some hours on the car today, creeping slowly toward the finish line. Got the new VDO gauges and pod installed, grills and headlight surrounds in place and the radio is in. I am still planning on going with an old school Two Post radio in the future but I had the Super Tuner on the shelf...
Got the fiberglass reproduction rear bumper fillers painted and installed over the last week. They fit pretty well with not a ton of fussing with. The new / used bumper from Nevada is rust free but the chrome is weathered and nowhere near perfect but it is at least straight, presentable and a...
