Anyhow went to cut a 1/4 coil off some 5660 Moog springs. First time ever attempting to cut coils and screwed it up. Probably should have used a 3 1/2 cut off wheel instead of the 3 inch my grinder was made for. Anyhow leaned the cut off disc onto the lower rung of the spring and managed to...

Hey guys, I contacted VFN fiberglass about their lift off hood for the 1978-80 Grand Prix. I asked them why they don't make a bolt on version. They told me they can but they need a donor steel trunk to make new molds for both a bolt on and lift off. Will take them about 2 1/2 months. So...

Whats up with these G-Body door straps stripping the screw ? Are they just screwed into a thin piece of sheet metal? Is there any repair that can be done to prevent them from ripping out of the door panel?

Hey guys I have a 1979 t-top car and I'm wondering what condition will my floorboards be once I pull the carpeting out? Some of you that have done this, how bad can it get? I don't see any serious red flags when on a lift. But the carpeting does have that mildew smell and seems damp at times
