    Rear window seal?

    Hi All, Listen, I don't say this to boast, and I'm typically not that lucky, but I just bought an NOS upper tailgate seal from eBay. This is the one that runs horizontal along the top of the tailgate where the lift glass seals against. Let me tell you up front, there's no skill involved in...

    Sometimes I really only look as far as my back yard to get the answers I need. That’s the nice thing about having a spare car for reference. Not real popular with the blonde but my memory thanks me for it weekly. So, round bead is the OE style for the sealing strips/belt line/dew sweeps. Now...

    Well, here's the thing on the belt line, dew sweeps or whatever the heck the correct industry term is for these things. My parts guy says GM calls them sealing strips. I know for sure there are three different configurations of these sweeps available, flat bead, round bead and no bead. What I...

    Thank you gentlemen, Jack, Sometimes there's an advantage to not being first, except for at the race track of course. The thing is, I just want to help the people that so often help me in this deal. Hell, I didn't think of any of this, GM did, I'm just trying to copy it to the best of my...

    Here’s the finished front joint. This will straighten out much nicer when the glass is installed. I don’t have the window sweeps (Cat Whiskers) yet, should be here next weekend at which point I can install the glass. Here’s the finished rear joint at the vent. Again, this all straightens...

    Was hot today but not very humid so I pecked away again at the wagon. While working on the left rear door for the second straight weekend it occurred to me, there’s a lot of crap on these doors. Doesn’t seem like it but when you’re taking your time, it takes a fair amount of time. Every part I...

    Jim, I wish I had half of your patients and all of your fabrication talent! I have all these ideas in my head but know the best I can do is sh*t hammer some of them together. You on the other hand, see it, think about it and do it. Bravo! The wagon you're building is like a flash forward of...

    Rear Door Wiring Flexible Conduit

    OK, I give, Uncle, What have people been using for the rear door flexible conduit/sleeve/bellows/boot. Clearly the holes are too small to use the front pieces. I'm currently watching about forty different makes and models of these things on eBay. From Alfa Romeo to Buick Electra to Z28. My...

    Well, I got after the Malibu a little bit today. I have two cars going at once so I need to chip away a little every weekend if I can. I have the trans out of the 63 SS because it started popping out of gear, of course, that’s never gonna do. As previously discussed, I’m bolting every part I...

    IROC Wagon Project

    Well this is where the guys in the Midwest have things a little easier when it comes to scrap picking. The rubber parts in Arizona just don’t exist unless it’s not originally from here. I know that several folks have used the Dodge Caravan seal for the rear lift glass. Was wondering if anyone...

    As previously stated, I’m bolting on every part I have for this jalopy and we’ll see where it goes from there. Focused on finishing the tailgate today, had a few knick knacks to sort through and took my time screwing on the little pieces. Thanks to Ed’s camera skills, I got the springs...

    IROC Wagon Project

    Jack, I think the problem is going to be finding eyelets that look like the stock pieces. The guys that make some Border Patrol parts for us have eyelets but I'm not sure of dimensions and so on. Otherwise, I would suggest finding some old cables, cut the cable off clean at the eyelet, drill...
