    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2019]

    That’s coming out exceptionally well. Here is a pretty helpful video on how to re-texture the dash. So this guy puts hot glue on a dent pulling tab and places it on a surface with the texture he wants to replicate. He uses an agent (303) on the surface so the hot glue doesn’t stick to the...

    Thanks, I’m going to hit them up and see what they say. At this point anything would make that dash look better lol.

    I can’t wait to see how it turns out. My dash is cracked to heck. is there a thread here that has interior fabric and paint colors and suppliers? Especially a match for 1984 Hurst Olds interior color. I was looking at SEM Napa Red.

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    I know exactly what you mean. Trying to explain this to a few attorneys offices today was exhausting. The good thing for me is I looked him up on Maryland Case Search. In Maryland any legal proceeding is public information. I found a case where he had to pay a client almost $20,000! I got the...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    The man is clever.. not his first rodeo. I’m looking up his record as we speak (md case search) and someone just won a judgement against him for 19k. Apparently he has screwed other people over. Unfortunately, I was new and he never committed to anything in writing. I don’t want to get to in...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    I feel you lol. I got taken to the cleaners. I want to clarify.. the engine builder is the one that ripped me off. He sends his work out to be machined. The machinist I called to get the quotes are not affiliated with him. There are the “good guys “ so to speak in this nightmare.

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    To date I paid $5,500 and owe him a balance of $1,300 when I go to pick up the vehicle. I will have $6,800 into the engine build that does not have steam holes. I will need to spend more money around $800 + to have the heads removed, drilled and reinstalled after I get it from him. Grand total...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    The total for the engine builder is $6500 for the engine and $300 for transmission removal. I called a few machine shops and was quoted at $250 for just the machine work. The rest was parts and labor to remove and reinstall the heads brining it roughly to $800 +/- I rounded because there is...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    I totally agree. However, he has lied to me so much and done so many shady things I don’t trust him. If I had him do the work he would just drag feet for 6 months just to be a jerk. At this point I would be happy if he reimbursed me for the price to have the heads removed machined and...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    Thanks for the reply.. I’m with you on the better safe than sorry mode of thinking. I thought the shop was reputable. Boy was I wrong. The guy saw that I was new to the performance engine world and took advantage of the situation. He told me he was going to put certain parts on for X amount...

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    Definitely a bad deal.. you have no clue. I’m so heartbroken. Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback. I have read the same things about the holes.

    Need Help! 400 SBC Question.

    Hi All, I had a performance engine shop build a 400 SBC for me. The issue that I have is the builder did not put steam holes in the heads. He said it will be fine, but I’m not too sure. It’s still at his shop and I need to pay him for the build. However, I called a few machine shops and...

    CUTLASS Power Window Switch Help!

    I may have been a little over dramatic lol. I’m sure it is a lot easier than it looks (to me at least). I have no experience. Im afraid to start touching wires to the wrong terminal. They get hot fast if connected wrong. GBodys are nonexistent in my area. If they do have one in a scrapyard...

    CUTLASS Power Window Switch Help!

    Hi all, Im in the process of restoring my 1984 Hurst Olds and I’m in need of some assistance. When I purchased the vehicle the window switches were a mess. The wiring looks like a total cluster F. I need to know how and where the wires are connected. Also where I can purchase the connector on...
