    Doing It The Hard Way.

    "Askholes." Asks a thousand questions and ignores everything you tell them. But they aren't new. I'm sure Henry Ford had a neighbor who had a cousin that did it better, made more power, and used free parts to do it. And they will never go away.

    Interior paint colors and what paint to use?

    I got mine from Dixie Restorations. It's not cheap, but it's an exact match and it sprays beautifully. I've used it to dye some dark maroon replacement panels and it covered it with no problems. I used spray bombs, but they also sell it in pints. They are also a sponsor here. Use code GBF5 for a...

    Classic insurance providers?

    I have 26 cars and trucks I insure, with some rare and impossible to replace collectors. Grundy put together a policy for all my vehicles on the same policy. I have declared values on everything, including my daily drivers, and there are no limits on mileage or use for the collectable cars. I've...

    Dealer Installed G-body Options/Upgrades

    My 79 had a Landau type half top on it, down to scraps when I got it. But it wasn't the standard cheapie add-on, the cloth was a Haarts type canvas with a heavy layer of padding under it, the back window was frenched, (over all the factory moldings, thankfully), and the moldings looked like the...

    Headliner reglue

    I'd put some more time into it. Those black areas are your enemy, especially around the edges. Your goal is to have as much as the board looking like the light areas as possible. I have some pictures on my phone of mine that I can text you if you want to see where I stopped.

    Headliner reglue

    I am in the middle of this horrible job right now. The only things I can add are make sure all of the old foam is gone, even one spot and the headliner will fail the first time you roll the windows down while driving. (Ask me how I know.) Also, I used fine steel wool and 3M adhesive remover to...

    2017 OK/MO Route 66 G-Body Cruise FEELER THREAD

    I'd be in. I live about 30 miles west of Tulsa. Maybe early spring before the weather gets crazy or too hot? I'd love to think my car would make it to St. Louis, but Springfield is good for sure. Maybe swing up to Branson for the night. I've also got tow vehicles so I could provide some roadside...

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    Just found your thread and read every page. That's a really cool project you've got! I like that you keep it drivable so you can enjoy it as you work on it. I'm going to steal some ideas from you!

    Another G-body new guy

    Thanks for the welcomes, guys. This one is an auto, and I'm planning on keeping it that way for now. I have another long-term project going, a 66 Impala convertible, and I'm tired of not being able to play with my toys. The 305 runs good, so the drivetrain will stay as-is until it gives me a...

    What was your first car ! Give us some background.

    September, 1981. I had been driving for a few months and had been using my Mom's 77 Grand Prix to drive to my part time job. My dad and I were having a major disagreement about my first car. I wanted my buddy's 73 Nova hatchback. Orange with a white top, 350 auto, cool car. Dad had a friend...

    Identify Yourself!

    I'm 51, and I blame my cousin Carolyn. She bought a 78 Monte Carlo Landau, triple black, as a dealer demo. My parents had Monte Carlos since they were introduced, and I felt they were big old people cars until that little black Monte showed up. Carolyn was my favorite cousin and could do no...

    Does your G body share Your time with a motorcycle?

    My ride. 2013 Ninja 650R. Nice, light little bike that handles great and feels fast to me, which is all I care about. This is the day I brought it home, before I did the tail tuck to get rid of that awful rear fender.
