Thank you Kevin for another fantastic part! Now where did I put that wish list I was working on? ...

Hey, I don't recall which one of you guys was looking for a replacement rear lift glass with the built in defroster mechanism but I stumbled across one on eBay, right now shipped to your door for about $135.00. Auction number is 271962993246. Hope this helps someone. ... Scott. ...

OK, I give, Uncle, What have people been using for the rear door flexible conduit/sleeve/bellows/boot. Clearly the holes are too small to use the front pieces. I'm currently watching about forty different makes and models of these things on eBay. From Alfa Romeo to Buick Electra to Z28. My...

Just curious if anyone has photos of the OE hardware used on Body Mount Position Number Two. The photo below shows the access holes to get to the nut or plate. I have a big washer and a nylock right now but was curious what the General actually used here. If I see one I can probably find them in...

Apparently some of the G-Bodys came with hood assist strut(s) to aid in the weight of the hood. There may even be the same setup for the deck lid, I don't know. I could actually use something like that for my car. My hood is a cowl induction that I made from a Chevelle Cowl Induction hood back...

Does any one have a decent photo of where the Under Hood F41 braces attach to the body cowl (firewall)? Don't see an obvious location although it seems they would need to attach from the bottom of the sill because of the lip. Lots of holes in the core support to choose from. Suppose I could...

Got a couple of small pieces from crazy'boutOlds. Parts were reasonably priced, wrapped like china and better than I expected quality wise. He included the hardware (which I forgot to ask for) and the parts were in my lap before I knew it. Hopefully we can do some more business. ... I love...

OK, so the last guy that posted the cruise control questions didn't seem to get very far, I might not either but I thought I would at least ask the pertinent questions I have without hijacking his thread. Surely some of you master techs out there can answer this stuff without breaking a sweat...

I don't know about you guys but I like to be organized. My dad always used to say that the only thing worse than not having something you need is having it but not being able to put your mitts on it. To that end I'm constantly looking for ways to organize my shop. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a...

Here's an idea for those folks that hate having a light hanging under the car so they can see what the heck they're doing. I got on eBay and found some LED strips with the highest rated Lumens I could find. The strips usually have a self adhesive backing. I also purchased a roll of magnet tape...

Of all the high dollar muscle cars I've restored over the years I've only been fortunate enough a couple of times to find the vehicles build sheet. The build sheet, or in assembly plant terms "broadcast sheet" is the one document that truly details what or what didn't originally come on a car...

Got an idea from a post on this site wondering if there was a Photo Reference Library. I think there should be and as such I will begin what I hope will be a long running and valuable thread. In the interest of space, specifically for those trying to search the thread, I’d prefer to keep the...

OK, So this is one of those projects I’ve been putting off, not because of the difficulty, but because of what I fear will be another parts non-availability issue. I’m talking about the rear vent wing windows. So before I go into a whole lot of detail on how easy this is to do on an “A” body...

OK, So today I got serious about the potential run channel debacle. This was manifested through a conversation Jack and I have been having regarding the inability to purchase G-Body four door/wagon run channel. A little history; Based on photos of the two cars, I made an assumption the early...

Wasn't exactly sure whether to post this with the Monte SS guys or here so I'll start here. I'm looking for some direction on the correct placement of the seat spacers. Bought some tracks and was happy to receive the hardware. Unfortunately, the Service manual only makes the reference "be...

I can do just about everything on or to a restoration however I know my limitations and don’t mind paying or trading to get the best result. Now that I have the body back on the frame, it’s time to think ahead a little to the wiring. Typically on a numbers match restoration, it’s as simple as...

Does anybody know for sure if the G-Body Heater Control Vacuum Harnesses are all the same or if there's a change by year some where along the way? This kinda stuff is a lot easier to do when the dash is still out of the car. Pain in the butt once the dash is installed. Photo attached, not sure...

Got some stuff from L.A.X-RATED this past weekend. Package arrived very fast, was packed well and exactly what I wanted. Haven't bothered to take the stuff out of the box yet but from what I can see, it's A1. With that I'd say L.A.X-RATED is rated A1 in my book. ... ssbrewskyaz New River, Arizona

I'm looking for just a thin strip of chrome around the wheel openings. The Malibu, at least the pieces I have, are those real wide stainless moldings. That's way too much IMO. It's difficult to tell from the eBay photos but it appears as though there are some thin Malibu tha will make a nice...

I pulled this motor out complete from a 1979 Malibu Sedan. The motor ran good so I haven't had the heart, nor the time to tear it down. At this point I’ll probably just make an attempt to sell the thing complete as it sits. Have no idea how many rounds were on it at the time but the son of the...
