What's up everyone. Just checked the drive from Richmond, Va (under 4 hours) and I think I may have to make the drive. I will check back in after talking with the Mrs. I can't say if I'll bring the '85 Supreme but I would love to come. I looked at the calender and it looks clear to me. I'll...

I fixed my climate control vacuum problem in the cutlass today. Turned out to be a bad selector switch leaking vacuum. Also traced all the lines and replaced what needed to be replaced. Went to the yard and picked up some door hinges, vacuum lines, and some misc. trim too. Bought four 6 ton...

I'm using the stock hood with the performer rpm, Street Avenger 670, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air cleaner and stock motor mounts. I had to cut some of the bracing at the back of the hood so be able to close and I'm not having any issues with it buckling, bending, or binding. I tried a drop cleaner...

I drove to the yard and got a beautiful pass fender off a 88 Supreme Classic. Thinking about getting the front clip and putting it up for sale but the rain stopped all that. Off tomorrow so I might go back and get it. Fender being replaced New fender

Yeah Circle Auto Recycling/Chesterfield Auto Parts is there. They have three locations with one being the above stated. The other two are within twenty minutes of each other. Good place to go. You can go online and search for the car you are looking for and it will tell you when it hit the...

Ready when blasting is done and clean up. I personally didn't sand anything and came out with a smooth finish.

Thanks. Yeah baking soda isn't cutting any deep rust at all. I use it for cutting paint only. Just wanted to show anyone considering it what it will and won't do.

Next up I taped up the chrome on the backside of the wheel and shot it with Rustoluem Semi-gloss black. That's all I was looking for right now. Haven't decided on the car paint color yet and it will be next year before the paint is put on the Cutty anyway so black is fine right now. Fast...

Continuing on, I used two different types of media to remove the old paint in the lug well areas. I used baking soda in the left lug well. I used Black Diamond and I think it's 40 grit in the right lug well.(Tractor Supply $8/ 50lbs) Notice the difference? I thought it was a good comparison...

So what's up everyone. This is my first thread [edit: other than the intro] on Gbody and thought I share my process for restoring so to speak a set of Olds SSIIIs 14" I got off Craigslist......for $75!!!!! So here's the pic of them with one partially taped because I thought to do the thread...

i have a 2.5 Horsepower, 21 Gallon, 125 PSI compressor from Harbor Freight so it's getting plenty of air. As far as the water in the blasting gun..i did have a minor issue where i'd have to clear the tip...how does water get in the line and what kind of dryer/air control unit would i need...

I personally use arm & hammer from Sam's Club. Don't need an additive to the baking soda to make it less absorbant of moisture if you use it in the right conditions. 13.5 lb bag is like $5.72.....4 bags is 54 lbs for $22.88 in Cental VA. I also agree with the siphon comment above. Your...

Oh I like those!!!!! :D

Re: MEBE007's 80 Regal Build Thread Okay!!!! Finally I have finished reading this thread from start to finish. Your build is simply amazing. I have enjoyed seeing your car progress and look forward to my own build which we started last week. It won't be to the level you have gone but I will...

That paint is nice as are the wheels. Congratulations!!!!!

I used to live in Meherrin, VA which isn't TOO far from Lake Gaston so cheers. And I will keep the updates coming. A bit more info: I want to redo the interior (no color in mind yet), paint it wineberry, new top or no top (still debating) and I'm looking for some of the factory rims. All...

Yeah my Dad was real clear about that. I already knew that so it isn't a big deal. I got the block line bored, rehoned, crankshaft cut .10/.10, lunatti .437/.454 lift cam, Power pack heads reworked, milodon high volume/pressure pump, 7 qt pan, TH350 with shift kit, all new bolts and all the...

What's up everyone. I've been lying low and just joined. I am in the process of restoring my '85 Cutlass Supreme Brougham and will be digging through the site for knowledge. Waiting on UPS as we speak to drop off my parts so my Dad and I can close this 357 up before he starts hunting. I...
