[HAFROD]

Are 78-80 cutty/salon/Calais coupe doors, the same for these butless's?also will 85 cutty sedan tails work on these?

Don't know. The tail light housing is aero only but lens looks same

I wanna say it's around page 80 or so and I can't view anymore pics.

Pics are working. Some posts don't have pics because I was almost out of photobucket storage. I ended up paying for more

They are different between the Salon and Calais/Supreme coupes. The Salon has a different body line on the bottom of the doors and side panels. The Buick Century, like my 1980, shares the same door as the Olds Cutlass Salon.

I could use some good rot free doors for a Cutlass Salon/Century coupe if anyone has a lead on some.

The seats and bumpers are killing me. I got the passengers side bucket refoamed and recovered. Now it needs assembly and the plastics painted. I recovered the drivers seat back only about 10 PM last night. I just finished spray gluing on new foam for the bottom. It is supposed to rain this afternoon so I want to get those ready for assembly. I got to go to the paint supply store but I'm going to sit the rear bumper in the sun while I'm gone. I think I'll scratch it with a red scotchbrite so it can get some air before I leave. I'll probably be putting the orange on the rear bumper today. This way I can put the gold on both bumpers tomorrow. Sunday morning I can have my wife help me hang them and the hood for the picture for GP403. Holy smoke this thing is almost DONE

Then there's the upper door panels to fab up and recover

So I wipe the Salon down at least once a week with a wet microfiber rag. I actually wiped it down Tuesday. The dust collects in the tail light edges so I always wipe them out. I wiped it down this morning and find this. This looks like a BB gun impact to me. What do you guys think? You can see a nick in the chrome bezel. We have tons of kids in our neighborhood. I'd hate to think someone out of jealousy would shoot my car. So now I need a RH tail light lens

[HAFROD]

Yep BB gun. That sux

I have 3 cracks in the Monte's front window from the previous owners neighborhood.

This is why I park my cars behind a six foot stockade fence.
