When did you become such an eco-weenie? :p Now, you have me wondering what crushed green glass would look like as metal flake in the clear.....
Once it takes off, I know where there's a green G body with a recycled drivetrain to use for sales and estimates.... just sayin' :whistle:
Never I live in one of those blue spots on the map. It's all about getting bisness. Lots of big city transplants at the shore.

I let the kids pick the green on eBay off my phone looking at the spot on top of the can I don't know

I'm hoping my 78 Cutlass is going to do that I guess we'll see

Victory! With a bit of cleanup, you are good to go (and stop).

Easiest way to mount them is 7/16"x1" grade 8 bolts and lock nuts. I used fine thread ones from Fastenal. Dropped right into the rivet holes.

The rest of the photos will tell you where to mount them if the holes are not already there. If you need measurements, let me know.
I got a present in the mail today!!! A little glass bead some epoxy and black paint I'm good to go! Thank you so much

I haven't got much done it rained all weekend just did some more cleaning and organizing moved some shelves around in the bed bought a tool box at home Depot to mount in one of the bed boxes. The air bags came in but it was just raining to hard to get it done.
On a lighter note I broke down and ordered a Chinese plasma cutter to make some of the modifications easier plus I wanted my own for a long time and I won't be able to use my bosses after I eventually quit. Lol can't wait!!!
Still no word from the Bean counters about the equipment so I'm just trying to keep busy.
I may need to have one of you guys hit a junkyard for me I can't find a 77-80 parts truck anywhere around here and these parking brake parts are impossible to find.
So in your travels (remember keep it cheap lol) it's supposed to have steel brackets that just hook in the frame and hold the cables up because it takes a cable that loops all the way up and back from the back to the forward cable and 2 rear cables on each side I can buy cables but the brackets and connecting Hardware seem elusive so keep me in mind please. I'd like to get the parking brake parts installed before I fix the exaust and believe me I want to do something about the exaust! These fake flomasters Suck! They sound like glass packs and I'm flogging that 350

You know, pack rat that I am I have a pile of those little black parking brake hangers lying around new in packages. They were reproduction, I picked up as spares for a '76 I got too good an offer to turn down on. Never used them. I'd let em go for what I had into them, if you were still looking...

Thats an easy one. We were over digging on my c/k brake parts shelf over last weekend taking inventory for my '77.

There is a hole in that particular box, so, there may be more on the ground behind the shelving... but.... 20180322_095029.jpg

There were some cables with them as well. I'd need to run parts numbers to see what the cables fit though.
