    Color Theroy...

    So I dug out the code 15 Gray Metallic '87 442 bumper cover with factory paint to compare to the white and black lower 12 Silver Metallics and I swear its is in between the two in tint values. Shows how much the base coat affects the lower silver color. Granted the paint is crappy and worn but...

    Some of the most desirable NOS GM parts come in that awful paper backed plastic sealed packaging which after 40 years takes any vacuum metalized trim with it on radio bezels and most disappointing Lightning Rods top plates that cost a weeks pay only to become destroyed upon opening. Upper wide...

    NOS carpet install

    I sourced NOS carpet from Mark Nounan, who owns a couple of Grand Ams here.

    Popped in an original HD battery (not a topper) and a new ECM decal on the HVAC box from Mike Rothe (69hurstolds) in the '85 442. Just missing an original upper radiator hose, thinking about getting a stamp made instead of using a used old hose.

    1985 442 Restoration

    Picked this up about 18 months ago, 101k 2 owner car out of Iowa. I actually own one identical down to the RPO options however this one didn't come with the VK3 front plate bracket and it came with a UM6 radio instead of the UU6 EQ radio.
