    weather stripping

    If you don’t care about a seam somewhere, use it to be frugal. The ends at the A&B pillars need to be there. If you buy A/M stay clear of Metro, my doors didn’t want to close.

    You could always color the dash vinyl before you install it

    MALIBU Parking Brake Pedal Stuck

    Mine did the opposite, it wouldn’t lock in place. A good shot of WD-40 did the trick for mine.

    Lot finds

    That was my thought also. The hood on the newer Regal looks more like what I’ve seen on a Cutlass

    Lot finds

    I was working in McKeesport Pa this week and this one shop has 2 old Regals that look like they’ve been just sitting in they’re lot for awhile . Also a 71 or 72 Malibu coupe.

    Weather strip problem

    Got and installed the Steele stripping. Installed easier. The first few times closing the door all the way took alot of hard pushing. Left them sit closed for 3 days and they’re closing MUCH EASIER

    Redneck ingenuity OR smart as h@ll ??

    I’ve got one to add to this thread title. My stainless steel flexible dipstick tube was touching the one header tube. I put a hose clamp on each and welded the screw bodies of the clamps together. Permanently no longer touching the header tube. So redneck or smart?

    GBOTM 78GP400 is the June '21 G-Body of the Month | ** 1978 **

    Congratulations, now heres a real compliment, I’d love to own that. I’ve never liked most of the 78-80 A/G bodies. Not until the 81s. I understand the persistence of completing an idea (your hood)I kept to my ideas on my build. Those modern wheels look so much better than the stockers. Great work.

    Sport mirrors

    The label says 71-88 Chevy A/G bodies The stem/base has nothing to do with this problem. The mirror glass is bigger on mine compared to what they call for.

    Sport mirrors

    Did GM HAVE 2 different sizes of the 70s-80s sport mirrors? I know bases could be different depending on model. I got a replacement mirror glass for my 79 Elco with dual sport mirrors from OPGI. The glass is to small. WTF

    What I’ve learned about Gbodys

    Here’s another example I just ran across. Both clips are SUPPOSED TO BE for the rear interior upper window metal moulding in an El Camino. They came from 2 different companies.

    What I’ve learned about Gbodys

    I’m finding this out REPEATEDLY as I’m putting my stash of new aftermarket parts in/on my car. The other day it was the weatherstripping fit SO BAD it wouldn’t let the door close.
