    1980 Cutlass Build thread now with Paint!!!!

    I would go white top for sure. I took my vinyl off, but I like a white one for yours with the blue. I like the color. Also, if it were mine, I would so not stripe it. Some nice dark window tint would be sweet! Are you going straight out with dual exhaust or angled out to the corners? Either way...

    Need Help with an Engine Light coming on

    did your engine have an o2 sensor or anything else you didn't reconnect after the swap? Under the hood or dash should be a connection point for a scan tool (OBD1 for pre 1996 and OBD2 for then to current), you could always try a jumper and count the code or use a scan tool if it does have one of...

    composite timing cover

    This is very true. I didn't even think about that. Guess we get so complacent about what we work with we don't always remember the little things like that. Funny, I now remember my instructor told us our very first day at the acadamy " you car mechanics need to forget everything you ever learned."

    Need Help with an Engine Light coming on

    My first instinct is its something small and stupid. Like say maybe an o2 sensor. Or maybe some other stupid sensor. But anyway thats my guess.

    composite timing cover

    I would think it should be fine. I'm an aircraft mechanic at night and have worked with composites alot and you may be surprised how robust and strong they are. Plus, with a double roller you have more surface area to spread the stress over. Oh yeah, they're much lighter too.

    Olds 350 build question...

    Without a doubt…REPLACE!! Bolts (of any kind) stretch every time you tighten them. As with anything, its always the cheap things that aren't replaced that "Murphy" will find. Those are really not expensive and if they fail you're screwed. Deffinitely get new one. I think they are more important...

    quarter window

    check out 3M's website. They have some really good stuff to use. I took my vinyl off and didn't replace the glass. Get some of the caulk/sealant that is in like a bar or stick. What I did was put no hardening lengths of it between the metal and glass and then put hardening lengths on top of...

    Just an Idea for my cutlass

    Yeah KFC used to be good back in the day. Now it tastes like something I found in back of a stall under a pile of hay once. Hahaha. Don't ya know that those vents make the car run cooler, the rediculous things called a spoiler that are bigger than the wing of a 747 give you better traction on a...

    Just an Idea for my cutlass

    Na Bro...didn't mean it as a low blow. Just like some of the others on your thread here, it wasn't my cup of tea. Everyone likes what they like and I am not in Texas so I only see cars like that in a certain part of town and usually they are not done very well. Sometimes it looks like they drove...

    Just an Idea for my cutlass

    I give you props on the creativity and paint skills, but, and no offense, I can't give you any props on taste or style. I would hate to see a Cutty put to shame like that. Sorry man, just my opinion.

    Bench Seats

    I've never had them fly forward when braking. As far as being certified, if there ever was an issue I think you would be grandfathered in because gm didn't offer that as a design. Kinda like if your car didn't come with seatbelts from the factory you can't get a ticket for not wearing one. Ya...

    Bench Seats

    I almost positive they are not broken and are working fine. My cutty and a couple of my buddies with a regal and monte all work the same. So unless all those seats are broke, I say they're ok.

    th400 swap

    I know for sure you will have to get a shorter drive shaft and the current cross member will not work. I wish i had a 400 to have to worry about this problem with. Biggest piece of advice I can give is to ask 85 cutlass brougham. That dude knows his sh*t about g bodies. He could proably tell you...

    power window motor

    Hey bro...... I picked up two brand new ones on ebay for $60 shipped for the pair. Not sayin you'll find a steal like that but certainly $75-&90 shipped. They are east to replace. Took me maybe 2 hours from start to finish but I replaced all switches, bezels, wires, connection points and door...

    G Body LED Tail Lights

    kingcolbert83 here is a link to one site I use: http://superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/stor ... R#315x-x25 if you get one that has the correct base, that one will plug right in but you will have to splice the other boards in. So not completely plug and play, but where would the fun be in that?

    G Body LED Tail Lights

    Those peticular led bulbs don't light up everything. I have seen ones that are a square board and are married to a regular light socket that plugs into the receptacle. You can actually hook up two of these "boards" and will light up the whole lens. Heck, you could probably even hook up 3 since...

    G Body LED Tail Lights

    Its the turn signal lever you have to pull back on. Since its broke you'll have to replace it. Try to grab it with pliers or pry on it with a screw driver and then watch them turn on
