Great pic! Thanks. I love that kind of stuff.

Why not just loosen the six bolts that hold the hinges to the body and shift the door where it needs to be to close? Keep the $20 for more important things...like beer.

I just flooded the floor with a garden hose before painting. I just keeps the dust down to a minimum. I didn't worry about cleanup - I just let the water evaporate on its own. With 2500 CFM of air being moved by the fan it didn't take long. After I took the booth down I just flooded the...

Super sharp lookin' car. Of course, i might be a little biased towards white Cutlasses...

Thanks. It was 8'x9' and just big enough to do individual body panels like the hood and trunk lid. I was able to do both doors at the same time. The main body shell I painted in the driveway. I finished wet sanding and buffing today and it looks great. Do keep the floor wet because that's...

Here's a simple spray booth that I built out of 3/4" pcv pipe, plastic sheeting, a box fan and a furnace filter

79t corresponds to dark red vinyl top. P codes usually denotes wheel and tire package.

Sounds like your car and mine are headed in much the same direction. Go with the 383 and don't worry about others opinions. Once the hood is closed, no one can tell if it's an Olds, Chevy or any other V8. If you do go with the 200-4R I would recommend the $380 billet forward drum. I've...

No personal offense there friend, but that is a perfect example of why I am thankful to live in the USA, where I usually get to choose what's best - not some bureaucrat. I can still buy paint, potato chips, Coca Cola and guns. All of the things that other governments KNOW are bad for me....

Re: 81-88 Cutlass/Buick Regal top of door wide reveal moldin Any word on pricing and availablity?

Here's one way to do it... http://www.flickr.com/photos/88955460@N ... 1814488935

Will plan to be there. Hopefully will have the Cutlass painted and reassembled by then...

I spoke to one of their engineers a few months ago. He said that the dual piston design was for aftermarket rear disk brake kits that use the g-body style front caliper. He advised not to use it for a front application on any car since the surface area of the two small pistons is less than the...

I used the Ride-Tech ones. I threw away their lower bracket and just used a spacer to provide a little distance between the spring and axle tube and used a 1/2" grade 8 bolt to attach the lower eye of the shock to the stock mounting location.

I paid $215 for a new windshield including installation last year. Let them install it. I tried to install the back glass myself to save the $60 they wanted to do it at the same time. Turns out the 3M urethane windsheild sealant is so thick that you have to have forearms like a gorilla to get...

the guy who was making the repair parts is out of the business now and Angelo is only interested in rebuilding, not supplying from the stock of parts that he has. I had the same problem with the broken c-clips so I just deleted them and stretched the three springs to about 150% of their...

Have a look at the link in my signature. It only took about an hour to lift the body and roll out the chassis using a engine hoist and a length of chain.

I had the same problem and used the same solution.

Chevy Aveo. $120 for the pair and a few bucks for steel to make some mounting bases.

Ok, look, just chill out. I for one choose to believe that if the man says he came up the the idea independent of your earlier post, then that's the truth. And you're not the only one to come up with the lighted shift plate idea. I had a similar idea last year but choose not to pursue it...
