BUILD THREADÂ Project Olds Cool (Recognition!!)

I'm going to spend more of your money on genuine GM parts: 
I like the horns you restored. Came out nice. And then I saw it....there's a matter of that nasty yellowed WSW tub distracting from those sweet looking inner fenders.
They DO have new ones from GM so if you can get a discount at your nearby GM dealer, it would be bonus. Of course, there's plenty of ebay listings, etc. And they don't break the bank. Maybe a Canadian bank, but...
WSW Container, 78-81 Cutlass 2 door A-body, GM p/n 1256620. Fits others, but A-body Olds is 78-81 2 door, and 82-87 G-body 4 door, and 82-83 wagon. They come in WHITE translucent color. And they're not brittle. I suspect they're low on supply and will drop these soon, as the list price is going up fairly dramatically. List from GM: $42.47 USD. Used to buy these all day long at 11 bucks.
Same with the coolant reservoir. I'm betting your rezzy matches your wsw tank in color. 78-80 Cutlass A body, GM p/n 14085692. List price from GM $24.98 USD ($3,678.00 in CAD + GST)

Damn, you lucky SOB! Glad the Astro roof worked out and it looks great as usual!

I'm happy for you Donovan. Savor the win. It will help you get through the bad car days. Looks like you are right on track for being ready for the booth.

Bah, that’s easy stuff to locate!
Want a real challenge? See if you can find me an AstroRoof manual crank handle. Apparently the AstroRoof cars were supposed to come with one one in the glovebox for cases of emergency if the power crapped out on them or the motors grenaded.
Not surprisingly, it’s missing from this car and I’d love to locate one just for the novelty and to complete the package. I haven’t even been able to find a part number or picture of it.

Looks really good! For the seals there is a company called steele rubber products that has a huge list of seals. Basically just match up what yours looks like and they probably have it. That just an "in case" thing if for some reason any of yours dont work. Just thought i would throw that out there if some of the aftermarket stuff for our cars isnt that good. Makes me really not look forward to replacing all the seals on my car

"Random Car" lol
You should probably check the thread on that beast.
The Juggernaut.
Â
The challenge isn't me FINDING it. I can find the number and a picture. I cannot find something that isn't there.
GM p/n 20081501 Tool kit. Sunroof crank with instruction sheet. 78-88 A/G with CF5. Any other questions?

Fact is, that tool and kit stuff was basically in nearly EVERY A/G body 78-87/88 GM car that had a sunroof. And it's a shame you don't run across them more often. B/C/E bodies...

That’s awesome Mike, thank you. I knew you were the man that would find what I couldn’t.
Now, where to get me one...
