    How to properly install AC/Heater box delete panel?

    I'm getting ready to install the JEGS AC/Heater box delete panel. Should I use some kind of sealant on the delete panel to keep water out, or do the screws tighten enough that I dont have to worry about it?

    What are these wires?

    Pulled my AC/Heater box a few weeks ago from engine bay as I'm eliminating all HVAC. I had a few cocktails as I was pulling and dont recall cutting these wires. Even if I did, I havent thrown anything away and dont see the other end if I did cut them. I just noticed it now them as I was going to...

    My 83 Regal build thread updated 3/12/20

    Finally have my 83 Regal back. Last 2 months it has been to the vinyl top shop, painter and then suspension shop. I did the 87 header panel conversion in my garage. I know big wheels arent a fan favorite on here. But it's what I wanted to do and I'm happy with it. Still needs to be wet sanded...

    What kind of screws for corner lights 84-87

    Did the 84-87 header swap on my 83 Regal. Bought new aftermarket headlight bezels and corner lights. I was able to source new hardware for bezels but not the corner lights. They appear to screw in to plastic housings on the bezel. But not sure what type or size of screws to use? Don’t want to...

    Power window not working

    So my passenger side power window doesnt work. I replaced both drivers side and passenger side switches with aftermarket switches as they were in bad shape. I have power coming to the passenger side switch, so is it safe to assume its the motor? How would I go about troubleshooting to confirm...

    84-87 speedometer cluster fit in a 83?

    Looking at digital dashes and there are nicer options for the 84-87 Regals vs 83. So my question is will the 84-87 fit, if not what modifications are required to make it work? Thanks

    Gone for a while but I’m back

    Was on here back in 2017. Had a 80 Malibu, long story short. Was parked in front of my house while I installed a lift kit on my buddies Wrangler in my garage. Guy drove by, saw it and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Bought a Charger Hellcat, modified it a touch (806whp) and sold that. Last...

    Help adjusting a hood

    Purchased a brand new AMD 2" cowl hood for my 80 Malibu. Everything fit pretty well although I think it should move forward about another 1/8" or better. But thats the least of my concerns. My issue is on both sides near the rear of the hood (windshield side of the hood) its raised up about...

    My 1980 Malibu (caution pic heavy)

    So after a few months of searching, I finally picked up a Malibu. Went back and forth with this guy for the better part of a month. Twice he told me it was sold (or had better offers) and at one point wouldnt answer my calls or texts for 4-5 days. The car is very solid and will be an awesome...

    Ecklers Chevelle Hoods???

    Looking at 2" Cowl hoods for a Malibu. Looks like Goodmark is the cream of the crop for steel hoods. Anyone ever see or here anything good or bad about hoods made by Ecklers Chevelle? Look to be about half the price of the Goodmark. Yes I know you get what you pay for, but sometimes the quality...
