    IROC Wagon Project

    Well, Ever since I retired, I can't get two hours to work on my junk. I built a 455 Olds with a 700R for a guy and put it in a 64 F85. He then brought me his little 63 Chevy short box for me to doll up the motor, install a tilt and finesse a little. He then brought me the F85 back to get the...

    My 83 Wagon

    I've been working on my car for so long, I built the cowl induction hood for it from a rusted out Chevelle hood because you couldn't buy one at the time. ... :rofl:

    The column question is the most valid. The factory manuals have the column with the key release installed, they're hard to come by and usually only Re there on a factory install. Most people that change to a manual don't install the key release column. Another thing to look for is the...

    Malibu wagon with el camino doors?

    Both of the links were expired but if it was a two door wagon, i.e,.a g-body wagon using El Camino doors, I almost built one. However, I don't half *ss stuff and when I saw my body guy lickin his chops, I knew it was cost prohibitive. ...

    What rear brake set up are you working with Jim? My rear calipers are towards the front of the car and likely everyone knows what that means. I refuse to swap sides with the calipers and then have things cattywumpus. I started to create clearance by grinding the cooling fins off the calipers...

    Rear Carpet

    I just bought carpet for my big truck from ACC and purchased five additional yards. Came in a separate box rolled up nicely. No backing, wasn't cheap but is the same as the molded stuff for the truck. I used two and a half yards for the back wall of the truck and the rest I'm having my carpet...

    Hi Jim, Headliner material? Do you have a good headliner base or did you have to build a new one? Isn't the headliner on the wagons basically yardage material glued to the hardboard headliner base? I have a ways to go before all that but I'm interested because I need to build a new hardboard...

    Sorry, kind of ambiguous question I guess. What I meant to ask; Is there anything other than the insulation that needs to go under the cargo floor? Thanks. ...

    IROC Wagon Project

    OK, So I have another question I'd like to get answered so I can get along with my rear bumper ordeal. This question is more generalized to the Pontiac brand; Were the tail lights in the photo from a Pontiac Lemans wagon only used in the 1978 model year? Probably the wrong place to ask...

    OK, So I have a question I'd like to get answered so I can get a big piece of stamped metal back in my car and out of my way. Usually I figure it out on my own even if that means doing it twice. In this instance, memory does NOT serve me well so I ask: What all needs to be buttoned up before...

    Damn Son, Jim, your car looks awesome! You're another guy that will be somewhat done before me. I love the color, as always, I love your attention to detail. Wow, I need to get on here more regularly I can see that for certain. Scott. ...

    My 83 Wagon

    Thanks Mitch, So if I call SEM and tell them I want a gallon of what they made for Mitch, they'll know what I'm talking about? Just kidding, I'm curious of the number and who you talked to though so I can skip some of the dirt you've already plowed. Was also not aware the Bulldog came in...

    My 83 Wagon

    Hello Mitch, Long time no chat! Just curious what the actual color is and by whom that you used on your interior parts. Your work looks impeccable. I'm seriously considering changing my interior color before I get too deep in the process. I was going with a light tan/crème combo but have been...
